  1. Where Is God?

    SEP 30

    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.

    Deus Absconditus

    The world can seem a silent and indifferent place in the face of suffering and confusion.  Where is God?  Why should God, as some tell us, be in a whisper?  Why should God dwell in secret places?  In this episode we take up The hiddenness of God, the Deus absconditus.

    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.

    RLP Holiday: Love & Death

    Every once in a while Valentine’s Day and Ash Wednesday fall on the same day; this episode is for such days.  Love and death are visitors from another world, doors in the wall of the world.  Join us as we contemplate love and death.
