In this episode, I am joined by philosopher, filmmaker, and longtime friend Dr. Jeremy Fackenthal as we dive into the intricate philosophy of Walter Benjamin. We explore memory, history, suffering, and the weak messianic power that empowers us to redeem the past through remembrance. We also touch on the implications of Benjamin's thought for understanding the revolutionary potential in our present moment. Tune in for a nerdy, stimulating conversation that bridges theology and philosophy, grounded in historical materialism and some fun memories from our PhD days. You can WATCH this conversation on YouTube. Jeremy Fackenthal is a philosopher, non-profit director, and filmmaker living in San Diego, CA. He holds a PhD in Philosophy of Religion and Theology from Claremont Graduate University. He was previously director for Toward Ecological Civilization. He has shot and edited a number of films, including Spitting Fire, a short documentary produced in conjunction with ARC and a grant through Yale Divinity School. Jeremy researches and writes in the areas of process thought, theopoetics, and critical theory. He co-edited Theopoetic Folds: Philosophizing Multifariousness and Whitehead and Continental Philosophy in the Twenty-First Century: Dislocations and is currently beginning a documentary film on the relevance of Walter Benjamin for the 21st century. A Five-Week Online Lenten Class w/ John Dominic Crossan Join us for a transformative 5-week Lenten journey on "Paul the Pharisee: Faith and Politics in a Divided World."This course examines the Apostle Paul as a Pharisee deeply engaged with the turbulent political and religious landscape of his time. Through the lens of his letters and historical context, we will explore Paul's understanding of Jesus' Life-Vision, his interpretation of the Execution-and-Resurrection, and their implications for nonviolence and faithful resistance against empire. Each week, we will delve into a specific aspect of Paul's theology and legacy, reflecting on its relevance for our own age of autocracy and political turmoil. .

Claremont is regarded by many as "where you go for what you can't get anywhere else", which only starts to describe the offerings at 2023's Common Good International Film Festival. After a COVID-related hiatus, the festival is returning , better than ever. Festival leaders, eloquent spokespeople (and mega-movie-fans) Jeremy Fackenthal and Jim Fahey share the purpose and goals of the festival and its sponsor, The Center for Process Studies. Jeremy and Jim provide highlights about the festival's genesis and over twenty year history, discuss its current iteration and do a deep-dive preview of several of the "don't miss" movies being showcased. Especially interesting is the explanation of how and why the 10 movies that are to be shown, February 17-20 at the Laemmle Theater, were selected.Aiming for more than just entertainment, the festival's film choices are intended to leave one thinking long after the movie is over, and aims to raise questions about the topic and story...which can be discussed after the film in an open forum, in some cases with the directors themselves.For those searching for a higher level, unique and an thought provoking movie experience, this year's Common Good International Film Festival is sure to be the holy grail you seek.======================================================Visit Common Good Films:Website: https://commongoodfilms.orgYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Common+Good+FilmsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/CommonGoodFilmFestival Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/commongoodfilmfestival/And Jim Fahey's Blog, which includes more insights and reviews of current cinematic offerings, including The Festival's movies:https://airplanemode.substack.com/Feedback, questions, comments, constructive criticism are all welcomed and encouraged.Send to claremontspeaks@gmail.com with Feedback in the subject line, or go to the appropriate page on Claremont Speaks' website - https://www.claremontspeaks.comClaremont Speaks is a Paradise Road Media production.

Jeremy Fackenthal—who is a widely self-proclaimed expert adventurer, and an IPA drinker with a theology problem—teaches us some German on today's episode. Vergangenheitsbewältigung is hard to say and also hard to do, as it means "coming to terms with difficult things that happened in the past." Jeremy shares his ideas on theology of remembrance, being an American Baptist, process theology, and why he still finds Jesus compelling. Before this most excellent conversation begins though, I open up with a story about the time I stumped the best preacher I knew with a question in church youth group. Thanks for listening!
