Is it ever compassionate to seek death for a patient? How can we protect our loved ones from mistreatment in end-of-life care? And what risks arise when the sanctity of life is compromised by the legalization of assisted suicide?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Charlie Camosy, author of eight books and professor of Theological and Social Ethics at Fordham University. Together, we examine the moral dilemmas posed by assisted dying laws, including recent developments like the UK's decision to legalize assisted dying for terminally ill patients.We discuss the strongest arguments in favor of assisted suicide and explain why they fail to honor the dignity of the human person. This critical conversation sheds light on how Christians can respond to these complex issues with truth and compassion.I hope this dialogue helps you reflect deeply on the value of life and equips you to engage with this crucial topic in your community and beyond.Charlie's website: https://www.charlescamosy.com/Help support the show by joining our Locals community!

Bonhoeffer in America: the Call Beyond Nationalism

In this episode of The Rise of Bonhoeffer, we journey with Dietrich to New York City for a year as a Postdoctoral post at Union Theological Seminary. This school year in New York radically changed him, but the spark that lit his theological imagination was outside the classroom. When he arrived in NYC, he brought an overtly intellectual faith he had used to justify a nationalist and militaristic faith. Through his encounter with the Harlem Renaissance, Abyssinian Baptist Church, and a road trip through the South, along with power friendships with people like Frank Fisher and Jean Lasserre, his vision of just what a disciple was called to be was transformed. This German who came contemplating the possibility of killing for blood and soil came to see himself anew as a disciple of Jesus. Jesus called his followers to bear a cross and not build one, to love their enemies and not kill them, and to practice solidarity with the suffering and exploited and not race, creed, or nation. Bonhoeffer came to discover that Jesus can always be found in the face of the Other. Without his time in New York and these transformative experiences, we would never have the Bonhoeffer so many admire. Follow the Rise of Bonhoeffer podcast here. Want to learn more about Bonhoeffer?

Join Dr. Jeffrey Pugh & Dr. Tripp Fuller as they delve into the complex life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. The story flashes forward to a powerful juxtaposition: on February 1, 1933, two days after Hitler became Chancellor, both men addressed Germany. Hitler promised to restore national pride, while Bonhoeffer warned against creating an idol out of a leader. How did Bonhoeffer come to see the Nazi threat while so many others didn't? This episode begins the story by turning to his early life, his burgeoning critiques of National Socialism, and how his family, education, and travels deeply influenced his evolving theology.

In this riveting episode, we traverse the complex landscape of evangelicalism, an often misunderstood and hotly debated religious identity. Join us as Isaac Sharp, a prominent scholar of religion and acclaimed author, unravels the intricacies of this profound topic.Our conversation initiates with Isaac defining evangelicalism. He emphasizes its multifaceted nature, elaborating on how it's perceived differently by secular scholars, historians, journalists, theologians, and evangelicals themselves. Isaac further highlights how evangelicalism transcends denominational boundaries within Protestantism, reinforcing its status as a more conservative form of American Protestantism.In the absence of a universally accepted definition, the term 'evangelical' is perpetually negotiable. This leads to intriguing debates around the authenticity of one's evangelical identity. In the quest for understanding evangelicalism, Isaac introduces us to the "Bebbington quadrilateral," a four-pronged definition of evangelicalism focusing on the cross, a high regard for the Bible, individual conversion, and an evangelistic or activist impulse.However, the distinctions between sociological and theological definitions of evangelicalism can paint diverse pictures of this religious group. Isaac reflects on how these differing perspectives can influence our understanding of the evangelical community. The episode concludes with a profound discussion on the complex relationship between evangelicalism and race, showcasing how historical contexts and racial dynamics intersect with faith identities.#Evangelicalism #Religion #Protestantism #BebbingtonQuadrilateral #FaithIdentity #TheologicalPerspectives #ReligiousScholarship #AmericanReligion #IsaacSharpBuy the book: https://a.co/d/a8NnxFpGuest Bio:Isaac B.

He graduated from Union Theological Seminary with a Ph.D. in Social Ethics, with a minor emphasis in Religious Studies, in May 2019.Dr. Sharp's current research focuses on the theology, ethics, and history of U.S. American evangelicalism. His dissertation, “The Other Evangelicals,” develops an alternative reading of 20th-century evangelicalism from the point of view of some of the most marginalized, minoritized, and frequently overlooked constituencies in recent evangelical history in order to demonstrate how American evangelical identity became so closely associated with only its most politically conservative, religiously narrow, and culturally white claimants.Dr. Sharp is the co-editor of Evangelical Ethics: A Reader in the Library of Theological Ethics series (Westminster John Knox, 2015) as well as the forthcoming Christian Ethics in Conversation (Wipf & Stock, 2020).Prior to his doctoral studies at Union, Dr. Sharp received the B.A. with Honors in Religion from Carson-Newman College, where he served as an Oxford Studies Fellow, conducting research in British Baptist history at Regent's Park College, Oxford University, and an M.Div. with an emphasis in Christian Ethics from the McAfee School of Theology, Mercer University, in Atlanta, GA.Support the showTo learn more about the show, contact our hosts, or recommend future guests, click on the links below: Website: https://www.faithfulpoliticspodcast.com/ Faithful Host: Josh@faithfulpoliticspodcast.com Political Host: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.com Twitter: @FaithfulPolitik Instagram: faithful_politics Facebook: FaithfulPoliticsPodcast LinkedIn: faithfulpolitics

Episode SummaryWe continue our march toward the marginalized this week with another conversation with Dr. Miguel De La Torre about the future of American political identity. As a Lantinx scholar, Miguel sees a future in which American society is run by white Christian nationalist elites at the expense of everyone who is 'the other.' Much like South African Apartheid, America could become a nation controlled by a very powerful and violent minority all supported by white evangelicals. After all, it was conservative Christians who helped set up South African Apartheid in the 1948. Following these through lines of American racism and oppression, he warns of a decline in democracy and rise in political violence—but equips us with the nonviolent ethical framework to resist this bleak future. If you are a citizen of the United States, have you ever considered what it might look like to become Un-American? Have you ever considered all the ways the American Empire forces you to compromise your faith? As Christian ethicist Stanley Hauerwas once wrote, “Being a Christian is going to put you at odds with a great deal of what it means to be an American.” In this episode, we call upon listeners to consider what it might mean to remake America in the image of the God of liberation, and how do achieve that nonviolently? What role can you play in resisting this dominator form of Christianity and politics? BioDr. Miguel De La Torre is Professor of Social Ethics and Latinx Studies at the Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado. He has served as the elected 2012 President of the Society of Christian Ethics and served as the Executive Officer for the Society of Race, Ethnicity and Religion (2012-17). Dr. De La Torre is a recognized international Fulbright scholar who has taught courses at the Cuernavaca Center for Intercultural Dialogue on Development (Mexico), Indonesian Consortium for Religious Studies (Indonesia), University of Johannesburg (South Africa), Johannes Gutenberg University (Germany). Additionally, he has lectured at Universidad Bíblica Latinoamericana (Costa Rica), The Association for Theological Education in South East Asia (Thailand) and the Council of World Mission (Mexico and Taiwan). Advocating for an ethics of place, De La Torre has taken students on immersion classes to Cuba, Guatemala, the Peruvian Amazon, and the Mexico/U.S. border to walk the migrant trails. Among multiple yearly speaking engagements, he has also been a week-long speaker at the Chautauqua Institute, and the plenary address at the Parliament of World Religions. De La Torre has received several national book awards and is a frequent speaker at national and international scholarly religious events and meetings. He also speaks at churches and nonprofit organizations on the intersection of religion with race, class, gender, and sexuality . In 2020, the American Academy of Religion bestowed on him the Excellence in Teaching Award. The following year, 2021, the American Academy also conferred upon him the Martin E. Marty Public Understanding of Religion Award. De La Torre is the first scholar to receive the two most prestigious awards presented by his guild and the first Latinx to receive either one of them.

Holy Heretics: Losing Religion and Finding Jesus

Play Episode Listen Later May 31, 2022 56:17

The vast majority of Americans worship the white god—the god of Christian nationalism, white supremacy, domination, patriarchy, wealth, power, and colonization. The god of guns and empire, the god that exists to make white men great again. It shouldn't surprise anyone that powerful white people created a god in their own image, in the image of white men has this god been created. As Dr. Miguel De La Torre responds, “What we say is Christianity today is really an ideology of white supremacy and nationalism…This is what evangelical Christianity is today.” And in service of this false evangelical god, white westerners are blind to the victims of their philosophical and theological fabrication. Our deep-rooted blind spots are so common in white evangelicalism and are further engrained by wealth, history, race, and social standing to a point where the vast majority of Christians in the west are living a version of Christianity that is completely anathema to the historical Jesus. However, if you grew up in non-white spaces, in colonized countries, or in economically challenging environments, odds are your faith looks radically different. Odds are you serve the brown God of the oppressed instead of the white god of MAGA Christianity. Which is just one reason why those of us deconstructing evangelicalism are in such dire need of liberation, liberation from the white god that continues to colonize our hearts and minds. One of the paths toward freedom can be found in the liberation and post-liberation theology movements from Latin America. Liberation theology is a social and political movement attempting to interpret the gospel of Jesus Christ through the lived experiences of oppressed people. Liberation theology has its origins in Latin America in the mid-1950s as socio-economic development created by peasant workers and farming populations who had been driven into desperate poverty. With the economic unrest came political unrest, and military dictators took over many governments in the name of national security, only further marginalizing the poor. But from these oppressive experiences came a theology that drives its legitimacy from the perspective of the poor and oppressed. Liberation theology gave us queer Jesus, black Jesus, immigrant Jesus, and Marxist revolutionary Jesus. It is a version of faith that identifies exclusively with the oppressed.It is ironic then that Latin American liberation theology just might save white people from ourselves, but only if we have the humility to come face to face with our colonial past and present drive for power and domination. This episode deconstructs the white god and dives into other forms of evangelical oppression including gender oppression, LGBTQIA+ marginalization, white supremacy, and nationalistic Christianity. Dr. De La Torre offers a practical way forward in our attempt to free ourselves from the white man's god. BioRev. Dr. Miguel A. De La Torre is Professor of Social Ethics and Latinx Studies at the Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado. He has served as the elected 2012 President of the Society of Christian Ethics and served as the Executive Officer for the Society of Race, Ethnicity and Religion (2012-17).

In this special guest feature, Brother Ross Baron teaches the origins of the 12 tribes of Israel, including what made Abraham chosen as ancient patriarch and as one who would covenant with Jehovah. We discuss what "the hearts turning to the fathers" actually means, and how we are a part of this ancient, you could even say eternal, legacy of obligation to and blessings from the Lord. Brother Baron shares his experiences while teaching at the BYU Jerusalem Center, including the miraculous events that took place to establish it, and which continue to occur in that sacred place. He gives his thoughts and historical context to help us better understand and respond to modern-day struggles in the Middle East. Brother Baron discusses the ancient symbolism and responsibilities of specific tribes, with emphasis on Levi, Ephraim, and Judah, and how all tribes are fulfilling their responsibilities in the Last Days. Finally, we talk about what can be expected in the days ahead for members of these tribes - also known as the "noble and great ones". DO NOT miss this incredible conversation - it will leave you convinced of your own great heritage, and will surely inspire you to boldly accept your own responsibilities to fulfill the covenants of the House of Israel.Brother Ross Baron was born and raised in Southern California. He joined the Church when he was 18, as a convert from Judaism, and served a mission to Argentina, Buenos Aires South which was divided and then served in Argentina Bahia Blanca. When he returned home, Brother Baron met, fell in love with, and married Kathleen Ann Bolton in the Los Angeles Temple. They have nine children (five boys and four girls). Dr. Baron received a Bachelor's degree from BYU-Provo in Finance, a Master's degree and a Ph.D. from the University of Southern California (USC) in Religion and Social Ethics. He was involved in business and entrepreneurship before going to work as a full-time Institute Director CES Coordinator in Southern California at the Glendora and Claremont Institutes for the Church. After twelve years as an Institute Director and Coordinator, He came to teach at BYU-Idaho's Religion and Philosophy department in the summer of 2005 and commands an impressive 4.7 on Rate My Professor. Bro. Baron and his family also lived in Jerusalem Aug 2018-Aug 2019 where he served as a visiting professor at the BYU Jerusalem center. Bro. Baron has had a plethora of interesting opportunities throughout his life including swimming across the San Francisco Bay for the Escape from Alcatraz triathlon, winning a stove, a mop, and a barrel sauna on The Price is Right, playing the drums with institute students at the Hard Rock Cafe in Los Angeles, and playing chess in the US open Tournament in 1991, where he first played Arnold Denker, who had previously beat Bobby Fisher, about which he says he was worked.Brother Baron represents an incredible example of what it is to boldly live the gospel, as he has often spoken at Christian colleges and universities, educating other sects about our faith. He once represented the Church on a History Channel special, and He also has led community firesides geared towards advocating for the church and which were attended by thousands.We invite you to follow us on Instagram @lddisciplespodcast.
