    Introducing Mysterium Tremendum

    Introducing Mysterium Tremendum.  "Not all who wander are lost", wrote Bilbo Baggins.  We have been wandering, but we are not lost - not entirely.  Seventeen months after our last episode, we return: slower, deeper, darker.

    Where Is God?

    Where is God?  How is the distance between God and man to be measured?  In this episode we conclude a series of episodes on Divine Hiddenness.  However, this is not your mother's academic discussion.  God, evil, life, pinball, drinks, and a wee bit of reverie await you, dear listener.  Come and enjoy the show.

    RLP Replay: What's So Good About Good Friday?

    As we continue recovering from being under the weather, we bring you one of our Easter favorites.  On this holiday episode of Red Letter Philosophy we ask the question, what's so good about Good Friday?  We also discuss the frame or boundary that is Holy Week.  In the words of Peter Kreeft, "it takes boundaries to make anything interesting.  If a picture didn't have a frame, it would trail off into vague, boring everything-ness.  Life's most dramatic moments are her two frames: entrance and exit, beginning and end, birth and death."

    RLP Replay: The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde

    This St. Patrick's Day finds us under the weather.  Rather than miss the day, we offer/bring one of our St Patrick's Day favorites.  Is St. Patrick's Day a celebration of the Irish; Irish history, Irish storytelling, Ireland herself, or is St. Patrick's Day a celebration of a saint and of the one who molded the saint?  We couldn't decide.  So, on this episode we offer you both one of Ireland's finest sons and her greatest saint.  We offer for your listening pleasure The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde.
