In this episode, Tripp Fuller returns for a late night conversation. We go deep and fast... I ask Tripp about his thoughts on suicide. Tripp then asks me about the existential crisis motivating my current book project. This turns into a great conversation about the relationship between Process Theology and Radical Theology. I end up accusing Tripp of being a Barthian and he gets real defensive real quick... but was I wrong? We wrap things up with a bit of WWE and professional wrestling, because why not? Enjoy!

Email us: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.comIn a time when empathy is seen by some as a threat and theology often feels emotionally detached, what if the Apostle Paul's core message was actually centered on love? In this episode, we welcome back Dr. Nijay Gupta, New Testament scholar and author of The Affections of Christ Jesus: Love at the Heart of Paul's Theology, to unpack Paul's deeply emotional, relational, and revolutionary theology.We also dive into the hot-button topic of toxic empathy—what it is, why it's misunderstood, and how empathy, far from being a weakness, is actually a vital part of Christian maturity. Dr. Gupta explores how Paul's transformation from violent nationalist to apostle of love offers a powerful model for the modern church.Together, we examine Christian nationalism, church hypocrisy, social media toxicity, and why making the gospel good news again starts with self-sacrificial love—even for our enemies.

How to Pursue Religious Depth with John D. Caputo (Part 2)In our final episode of this season, Ilia Delio asks philosopher-theologian Jack Caputo more about religious depth in light of what he calls weak theology. Plus, Jack compares AI to angelology, and Ilia asks how theo-poetics can help us respond to the challenges posed by technology and the crises of our day.ABOUT JOHN D.

Ilia Delio sits down with philosopher-theologian John D. Saputo (Jack). Ilia asks Jack about how he got from Continental Philosophy to what he calls weak theology, and theo-poetics. Then they tackle the big, enduring question Jack and Ilia like to often ask—what is going on “in the name of God?” and why it might benefit us to stop talking about “God.”ABOUT JOHN D.

I am thrilled about this episode in the ongoing Process This series on Artificial Intelligence. In this episode, my series co-host and author of God-Like: A 500-Year History of Artificial Intelligence in Myths, Machines, Monsters, Kester Brewin, is joined by philosopher John Caputo. The conversation occurred at the intersection of artificial intelligence, technology, and theology. They explore the mystical and philosophical implications of AI, reflecting on humanity's relationship with technology and the future of AI in reshaping our understanding of existence. They also touch on key figures such as Heidegger and Derrida, addressing both the potential and peril of technological advancements. Whether you're a theology nerd or a curious mind, this interdisciplinary dialogue promises an enlightening exploration into AI and the human future. John David Caputo (born October 26, 1940) is an American philosopher who is the Thomas J. Watson Professor of Religion Emeritus at Syracuse University and the David R. Cook Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at Villanova University. Caputo is a major figure associated with postmodern Christianity and continental philosophy of religion, as well as the founder of the theological movement known as weak theology. Much of Caputo's work focuses on hermeneutics, phenomenology, deconstruction and theology. Watch the conversation on YouTube here. Previous Episodes with Jack What to Believe?

She is the author of "Mysticism as Revolt", "Foucault, Art, and Radical Theology: The Mystery of Things" and "Avantgarde Art and Radical Material Theology: A Manifesto". Petra is also an ordained minister in the Lutheran Church of Sweden. ​In this episode, Petra and I discuss the intersection of aesthetics, spirituality, and theology, exploring Michel Foucault's groundbreaking work on painting and its impact on the contemporary understanding of materiality and corporeality in spirituality. From 20th-century philosophers bridging the gap between art and theology to the use of diverse imagery in representing religious beliefs, we navigated the complex terrain where radical theology, mysticism, and political artistic activism converge.

John Caputo is back on the podcast! If you are new to Homebrewed Christianity, you may not be familiar with Jack. Still, he is a longtime friend of the pod, a top-tier postmodern philosopher who radically returned to his theological roots. In his new book What to Believe? , he gives a beautiful introduction to his articulation of radical theology inspired by a Tillichian departure.  If you no longer “believe in God,” the Supreme Being of classical theology, or you never did in the first place, is there anything you still ought to believe, anything you should cherish unconditionally, no matter what? In this lively and accessible book, addressed to believers, “recovering” believers, disbelievers, nonbelievers, and “nones” alike―to anyone in search of what they really do believe―the acclaimed philosopher and theologian John D. Caputo seeks out what there is to believe, with or without religion. John David Caputo (born October 26, 1940) is an American philosopher who is the Thomas J. Watson Professor of Religion Emeritus at Syracuse University and the David R. Cook Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at Villanova University. Caputo is a major figure associated with postmodern Christianity and continental philosophy of religion, as well as the founder of the theological movement known as weak theology. Much of Caputo's work focuses on hermeneutics, phenomenology, deconstruction and theology.

This Quoircast podcast episode is brought to you by Religious Refugees by Mark Karris. Published by Quoir and available now.In this episode we chat with John D CaputoJohn D. Caputo is a hybrid philosopher/theologian intent on producing impure thoughts, thoughts which circulate between philosophy and theology, short-circuits which deny fixed and rigorous boundaries between philosophy and theology. Caputo treats "sacred" texts as a poetics of the human condition, or as a "theo-poetics," a poetics of the event harbored in the name of God. His past books have attempted to persuade us that hermeneutics goes all the way down (Radical Hermeneutics), that Derrida is a thinker to be reckoned with by theology (The Prayers and Tears of Jacques Derrida), and that theology is best served by getting over its love affair with power and authority and embracing what Caputo calls, following St. Paul, The Weakness of God. He has also addressed wider-than-academic audiences in On Religion and What Would Jesus Deconstruct? and has an interest in interacting with the working church groups like ikon and the “Emergent” Church. He is currently working in a book on our frail and mortal flesh, probably to be entitled The Fate of All Flesh: A Theology of the Event, II.You can follow John Caputo on:Facebook     You can find all things John D Caputo related on his website.You can purchase John D Caputo's book on Amazon.comYou can connect with This Is Not Church on:Facebook     Instagram      Twitter     TikTok     YouTubeAlso check out our Linktree for all things This Is Not Church relatedPlease like and follow our Quoircast Partners:Heretic Happy Hour     Messy Spirituality     Apostates Anonymous    Second Cup with Keith     The Church Needs TherapyIdeas Digest     The New Evangelicals     Snarky Faith Podcast     Wild Olive     Deadly FaithJonathan Foster     Sacred Thoughts     Holy Heretics     Reframing Our StoriesEach episode of This Is Not Church Podcast is expertly engineered by our producer The Podcast Doctor Eric Howell.

His mistake was reviving Creation Spirituality, which decries original sin (the doctrine that we're all born sinners) in favor of Everyone Born is a Blessing (seeing all creation as divine). Creation Spirituality blends teachings from the Christian mystics with science, the arts, social justice, environmentalism, and ideas from other spiritual traditions worldwide (including those of indigenous cultures). Wasting no time, Fox became an Episcopal priest the year following his ouster. His upcoming book, Essential Writings on Creation Spirituality will be released on March 23, 2022. In this episode, we discuss: The Four Paths of Creation Spirituality. Reinventing forms of worship. The Cosmic Christ. The distinction between sin and evil. Matthew's approach to a feminist theology. Applying the 7 capital “sins” to the chakras. Recovery of the sacred to save the planet. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rev. Dr. Michelle Voss Roberts is professor of theology and past principal at Emmanuel College, a multireligious theological school in the Toronto School of Theology and University of Toronto. She is a comparative theologian who works in Christian and Hindu traditions, as well as an ordained minister in relation to the United Church of Canada and the United Church of Christ. Her teaching and research invite others to imagine themselves in relation to diverse religious worlds, in which particularities of embodiment—such as gender, gender identity, and sexuality, racialization, dis/ability, and culture—matter. Dr. Voss Roberts' book-length works in comparative theology include Dualities: A Theology of Difference (Westminster John Knox, 2010), which centers medieval women theologians; and Tastes of the Divine: Hindu and Christian Theologies of Emotion (Fordham University Press, 2014), an exploration of rasa theory and theological aesthetics, which received the Award for Excellence from the American Academy of Religion. More recently, Body Parts: A Theological Anthropology (Fortress Press, 2017) reimagines the Christian teaching that human beings are created in the image of God through the prism of the tattvas in nondual Saiva thought. Voss Roberts is also the editor of a volume that brings interreligious comparison to the introductory study of theology, Comparative Theology: Insights for Systematic Theological Reflection (Fordham University Press, 2016), as well as the Routledge Handbook of Hindu-Christian Relations, which was published last year. In this episode, we discuss: Finding liberation within tradition. What it's like to be a Christian Theologian. Defining theology - faith seeking understanding. How we seek to understand this orientation towards the world. The concept of the image of God from Christian theology. Using the work of Abhinavagupta and his Śaiva teachings on the 36 tattvas to illuminate and expound upon the notion of the image of God in a more inclusive and expansive way. Broadening the scope of theology and our understanding of the divine. Why does comparative theology matter for our contemporary world? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we talk with our friend John Caputo, the man who put philosophical deconstruction into dialog with Christianity. John is a marvel. He continues to write, speak and lead the way in radical theological conversation. We get the lowdown on what he thinks about his own work and his thoughts on Radical Theology and the pandemic, and so much more-it’s a good one! www.handcogroup.com Instagram: @h_andco_

This week's podcast is a bit of a brain-dump. We find ourselves a bit overwhelmed by the weight of the ongoing pandemic lockdown, shocked and yet not shocked by events in Washington last week, and generally lost for articulate commentary. So, we talk James Baldwin and Jesus and John Wayne and religious nationalism and John Caputo’s Radical Theology and put all of that in some kind of conversation-i.e. a brain dump! This is what’s going on in our heads this week-whoa! www.handcogroup.com Instagram: @h_andco_

In this episode we discuss radical theology with author, philosopher and storyteller Peter Rollins. Peter explores the freedom that comes when we accept and embrace the lack within us and the struggle within life. He believes that letting go of the frenetic pursuit of that which will make us whole and complete opens the way to accepting the lack within and finding enjoyment within the struggles of life. From this place of freedom we find God in the act of love, the depth dimension of our experiences, and in a continual transformative conversation. It’s a mind bending and inspiring conversation.

This week we are talking about Radical Theology, one of the more provocative and controversial areas of conversation in Christianity today.  If questions about metaphysics and ontology are driving you nuts, Radical Theology might just be right for you.  Listen as we talk about why we think Radical Theology offers hope to anyone struggling with what to do about faith.

This is the second seminar in my Dialectics of God course. Here I explore the Radical Theologian in William Hamilton's categories of Detective, Assassin and Artist. We look at what it might mean for God to die in a cosmic sense, and touch on the connection between Altizer's work and pyrotheology.

John D. Caputo is a hybrid philosopher/theologian who works in the area of radical theology. Prof. Caputo has spearheaded a notion he calls “weak theology,” by which he means a “poetics” of the “event” that is harbored in the name (of) God, or that “insists” in the name (of) “God,” a notion that depends upon a reworking of the notions of event in Derrida to theological ends.

The ministry of Jesus was once considered radical. Being a Christian Atheist is truly radical today. What is Christian Atheism, and what can Christians learn from it?

In 2017 Peter was a guest on Moshe Kasher's Hound Tall, along with Nick Thune, Sara Schafer and Kurt Metzger. It's a pretty crazy interview with some magical moments sprinkled through the comedy chaos.

In this episode of Misfit Faith I reflect on the tragic suicide of Anthony Bourdain as well as engage with the responses to it from Matt Walsh and USA Today. I suggest that perhaps the conservative evangelical approach both lacks compassion (gasp!) as well as fails to address the underlying structures that oppress people and sometimes drive them suicidal. I end the episode with "Jason Makes a Wish," asking Hollywood to make the most anti-climactic superhero movie ever. 

In this video I look briefly at week 6 of Atheism for Lent, which introduces how the previous material interacts with Pyrotheology.

In this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors we welcome to the studio philosopher and theologian Peter Rollins, after whose Lucky Charms they always are. We discuss everything from Radical Theology to La La Land, tackling such topics as whether any of us truly knows what we believe, and whether atheism vs. theism is a false dichotomy (and on that note, you’ll be surprised to hear which one of us Pete thinks believes in God the most). Pete’s background in psychoanalysis will surely make everyone who listens feel like they’ve had a therapy session, and his accent will make you wonder if he has in fact met Bono. Also, Pete is biebered by biebers.

Josef speaks to Barry Taylor about radical theology, the Internet, Nietzsche, creativity, the pope, True Detective, a radical take on Easter and much more. Barry is a Brit who has lived in Los Angeles for far longer than he ever imagined, and he likes it. As a writer/speaker/thinker/musician he has talked and played his way around much of the world and can often be found speaking at conferences, teaching classes on art, advertising, theology, religion, technology and all things cultural at various educational institutions in Los Angeles. He is the founder of Lifelabla, a learning environment committed to promoting and nurturing ideas that enrich life and help  people to become self-aware and more focused on creating the lives they want for themselves. He has written a few books, and is writing a new one, a memoir of sorts about epiphanies and catastrophes.  Barry holds his PhD in Theology and Culture, as with most things, very lightly. When he is not working he can often be seen biking around Venice or hanging with friends at a particular unnamed coffee shop and spends an inordinate amount of time exploring LA's hippest clothing stores. Most Sundays he can be found in West LA making music with friends and talking about life, religion and lots of other things.

Jack Caputo joined Barry Taylor, Peter Rollins and I at the Hatchery for a day long workshop on Radical Theology. The night before we recorded this zesty podcast in which Jack tells us a stack of stories from his life. These stories will give you a glimpse into the life of a philosopher and the personal side of Caputo's work. If you are asking yourself, "How can I get the audio of the Radical Theology workshop?" then look no further. You can get it right here.

Michael Gungor, Science Mike, William Matthews, and Hillary McBride host a culture-shaping, genre-bending conversation about the most relevant (or bizarre) topics facing people today.

Josef talks to Kester Brewin about technology and radical theology. The conversation explores how technology amplifies our desires and how it cannot live up to what it promises; rather then making us free, technology imprisons us. Kester's respons to this presumably disheartening thesis is a dirty, radical theology that does not only take serious the technology of religion but also the religion of technology. Freestyle Christianity is availiable on iTunes, Sticher and acast.

In this episode Josef talks to Jeffrey Robbins about radical theology--its lineage and its coming of age. The conversation moves from Jeff's jazz like, deleuzian understanding of difference and repetition to his use of Catherine Malabou's signature concept "plasticity," which he employs when talking about radical onto-theology, with a difference. Jeff is a brilliant thinker and a great inspiration for our Freestyle project so we hope that you will enjoy listening to what he has to say.

Why in the world are philosophers getting so excited about Paul these days? Well I would tell you the answer but Tripp and Pete decided to do an entire High Gravity class investigating this turn to Paul among political philosophers. Last week the class kicked off with an initial session on the Bible with Daniel Kirk and now in the second session we turn to the philosophers. This podcast includes the general introduction to Paul and the philosophers that kicked off session two. Check it out and think about joining us for the rest of the class. In the second half of this session we discussed Jacob Taubes‘ seminal work The Political Theology of Paul. His lectures were what paved the way for two of the most talked about texts in political philosophy. In weeks 3 and 4 we will walk through Alain Badiou‘s Saint Paul: The Foundation of Universalism.  In weeks 5 and 6 we will do a close reading of Slavoj Zizek‘s The Puppet and the Dwarf: The Perverse Core of Christianity.   Make sure you check out our sponsor Deidox Films.

This edition of the Theology Nerd Throwdown is a smorgasbord of subjects - a cornucopia of concepts - a torrent of topics... you get the idea.  First up is the 30 second definition blind challenge when Bo has to define 3 terms or concepts. This week's words are:  anointing, perichoresis and glossolalia. Then we chat with Micky Jones about the concept of post-cynical christianity suggested by Jim Wallis. We take a little break for the High-Gravity broadcast and then pick up with the Bible &  Tillich, Hegel, and Process. Our guest this week was Jonnie Russell who guest blogged last week. He was visiting for the High Gravity conversation. One production note: Bo forgot to bring the Mp3 call with Micky for Tripp to hear - so he is commenting blindly. THEN something went wonky with the sound and Bo's audio on the call to Micky was muted so all of Micky's comments were edited together to sound like a unified piece. Blogs that will be tied into this episode will be: Micky's post on post-cynical christianity Bo's pentecost's initial aim and historic drift a Radical Theology cliffs-note Follow the podcast, drop a review, send feedback/questions or become a member of the HBC Community.

Jack is Back... and this time we are discussing radical theology!  John Jack Caputo is a living legend and top notch philosopher of religion.  He comes with faith of Derrida and the Catholic mystical deferral.  Today you get to experience a live 3-D event, "Christianity UnCorked." This episode is sponsored by Dr. Laurel Schneider.  Thank You Laurel!  We appreciate the support!  If you missed Laurel's visit to the podcast go check it out NOW! Both Caputo's first,  second, and third visit rocked the podcast. Then we shared his main-stage fun from Soularize and the 3D event with Philip Clayton, Jay Bakker, and Peter Rollins.  Even more exciting are these class lectures Caputo is sharing here at HBC.  These lectures are free theological cat nip for theology nerds. Enjoy. Here's Elizabeth Johnson's 1st and 2nd visit to the podcast.  She is the Catholic theologian Jack mentions as the one who got in trouble for attempting to counter the patriarchy in Classical theology.
