Hermeneutics

I came to this podcast recently, but went to the beginning and listened to all the hermeneutics episodes. Overall I found each one to spark interesting trains of thought. I'm excited that the show has shifted to engage with Hauerwas' work, and grateful for the opportunity to engage with his thought.

Love the podcast. Guests are amazing. But you can’t really say that you don’t use stained-glass language when you use words like “erudite.”

I just listened to the show on theodicy. I reminded me why reformed theology seems so popular to young evangelicals and why so many evangelicals love trump. There is a certain comfort to know the God controls everything. Even if in the end it makes God worse than the devil. Sometimes people find comfort in a dictator even if they are the cause of evil.

When culture takes religious terminology and distorts it to fit certain narratives it makes speaking “Christian” difficult. These three are working to create a better understanding to what things actually mean. Super thankful for the things I learn from these three weekly.
