This week I speak with Sir Lloyd Geering, New Zealand theologian and pioneering Christian post-theist. In 1967, Geering was charged with heresy by the Presbyterian Church in New Zealand. He successfully withstood this challenge and has continued writing and speaking about religion and holy texts as a human constructions and words like "God" and "faith" as referents of human self-understanding and growth. He is the author of many books and articles, a few of which can be found in the links below.Lloyd Geering: God and Me (ABC Radio, transcript)http://www.abc.net.au/religion/stories/s1333339.htmReimagining God: The Faith Journey of a Modern Heretichttp://amzn.to/216Ke54From the Big Bang to God: Our Awe-Inspiring Journey of Evolutionhttp://amzn.to/1SvoApCChristianity Without Godhttp://amzn.to/1LrJJcN

Lloyd Geering is a Presbyterian minister and scholar from New Zealand.  He has written over a dozen books.   His latest book is a collection of essays that chronicle his intellectual and spiritual journey, Reimagining God:  The Faith Journey of A Modern Heretic.    He was tried for heresy in the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand in 1967 for an article he wrote about Resurrection.    He was accused of disturbing the peace of the church to which he responded:  “I would like to suggest that what my accusers have been pleased to call the peace of the Church is more properly called the sleepiness of the Church and we should be thankful to God that it has been disturbed.”  A documentary was made about him called, The Last Western Heretic.
