While we are no longer producing new Tent Talks episodes every now and then we will take the opportunity to point listeners to new projects. Tent producer and co-host Chris Marchand has just begun releasing a new podcast we wanted you to be aware of: Wall of Silence, about church abuse and mishandling in the Anglican Church in North America. This is the second of two preview episodes we are offering in the Tent feed.  This episode introduces a parable, a kind of alternate version of the abuse cases of Cherin Marie's daughter and Joanna Rudenborg, and also features an interview segment with Stephen Backhouse, as did the first episode.You can find the Wall of Silence wherever you listen to podcasts: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wall-of-silenceChris has also set up a Patreon account for those who want to support the podcast in that way: https://www.patreon.com/WallofSilencePodcast

In part 2 of a conversation with Dr. Stephen Backhouse, we explore how Christian Nationalism trains people to be anti-Christ. You cannot walk the way of Jesus—the way of non-violence and of caring for your neighbor, let alone your enemy—while abiding by the tenets of nationalism. Understanding these dynamics helps us not only understand our own lives, no matter our orientation to faith, and helps us make sense of the polarized world around us.

In this conversation with Dr. Stephen Backhouse, we explore how the philosophy of 19th century Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard illuminates the dynamics of our own day. Specifically, how the phenomenon of Christian Nationalism—the fusing of Christian spirituality with the lust for power (which ultimately obliterates the former)—seems to recur in some shape or form in every era, and certainly our own. In recognizing this lust for power, which is antithetical to spirituality and certainly to the teaching of Jesus, we can transcend many traps and live not in fear but in courage, hope, and love.

What is power? How can power be yielded in helpful and harmful ways? Brad is joined by Dr. Stephen Backhouse, an international scholar, speaker, and podcaster. They discuss the idea of magical thinking - not in the sense of sleight of hand tricks - but in the sense of trying to bend other peoples' wills towards yours. This form of power yielding is a zero-sum game - one in which either I win and you lose, or vice versa. There is no room for dialogue, compromise, or cooperation. The goal is vanquishing the other in order to dominate. As Dr. Backhouse explains, this form of power often overtakes institutions, governments, and churches. We see it today in the rising authoritarianisms of Brazil, Hungary, and the USA. It is also rampant in Christian nationalist churches that have accepted the mission of having dominion over the earth in God's name.

Magical thinking has not disappeared from the modern political imagination. Politics is not called the ‘dark arts' for nothing. Wherever one finds groups and individuals intent on forcing their agenda through the system, silencing their opponents, or decimating their foes with lethal violence, one finds shades of black magic. In service of getting what they want, who among us is not averse to manipulating boardroom membership, stacking church, charity or community organisations with the ‘right' people, participating in party putsches or enacting ideology purges? Who has not abrogated their responsibility, their voice, their resources or their moral conscience to some promising leader striding across a flag strewn stage, accepting worship and offering the world?

Is having a flag in your church wrong? What about church remembrance services for military causes? Is all patriotism bad? Stephen Backhouse of Tent Theology thinks that patriotism is incompatible with following Jesus. He makes a very strong case.

Honestly, I’m struggling mightily with nationalism and culture in the United States. Especially as it lines up with my faith and how it is evolving. How should our faith stand with the culture we live in and the rest of the world? Stephen Backhouse, who has chewed on this subject professionally and personally, comes to the table to discuss these issues and similar ones. Skubalon is the Greek word that in its day was profane and highly symbolic. To know what it means you’ll have to listen to Stephen Backhouse’s episode on Nomad Podcast here.

In this special bonus Q and A, Stephen Backhouse tackles a handful of questions posed by folks in our community. How should a Christian respond to nationalism? What about the nature of hell? Why did Jesus tell His disciples to buy a sword, if He didn't want them to use it? How do we develop a faithful approach to the apocalyptic texts in the Bible? We hope you will find this helpful and inspiring.

In this message, our special guest Stephen Backhouse unpacks the significance hidden within Mark's toughest passages.

Teacher of Tent Theology, on his travelling ministry bringing the academy to the local church.

Political theologian Stephen Backhouse believes that the earliest Christians tended to see patriotism as a vice – a temptation to guard against. Now it seems most Christians assume it is a virtue. Many of us, for example, don't think twice about asking God to Save the Queen or Bless America. So we ask Stephen whether the gospel is good news for our nations, what it means for a follower of Jesus to be a good citizen, whether we should be a blessing to our nation, or an unsettling presence, and how we should respond when loving our nation rubs up against our call to love our enemies.

Stephen Backhouse is a theologian and teacher and the author of Kierkegaard: A Single Life, a biography and survey of the work of the iconoclastic Danish writer Soren Kierkegaard. You can find out more about Stephen's Tent Theology teaching program at: https://www.tenttheology.com/ While our conversation is mostly about Kierkegaard and his work, we also discuss the dangers of Christian Nationalism (or Christendom), including a segment on whether or not American Christians should recite the Pledge of Allegiance, the dangers of being an ordained minister within the institution of the Church, and how Arcade Fire's album Reflektor was inspired by Kierkegaard. 

If it were a possibility at all, what would Christian, or Christ-like, politics look like? In today’s Seven Minute Seminary, Dr. Stephen Backhouse uses the hymn found in Philippians 2 to cast a vision for how Christian leaders and politicians should aspire to office and use their influence. The model set by the life of Jesus stands in stark contrast to the ways of ancient rulers, especially Roman emperors.

Christendom, rather than being an official connection between a government and a religion, is most often found in attitudes and mistaken assumptions. In today’s Seven Minute Seminary, Dr. Stephen Backhouse demonstrates how Søren Kierkegaard can be appropriated to challenge our core assumptions about identity and allegiance.
