Theology in the Raw

I think I’ve listened to every episode over the past year, and this has been a godsend. I really enjoy Preston‘s natural curiosity. I would love to hear him interview Jonathan Tremaine Thomas from the civil righteousness project.

The episode with Dr Yousef Alkhouri brought me to tears. Thank you Preston Sprinkle for giving Palestinian Christians a platform and a voice. Thank you Dr Alkhouri for speaking and being so honest and faithful. This is what every American Christian needs to hear and think about

I was disappointed that there is no place to leave a comment on the latest episode.

Preston, I’m really increasingly disappointed that you have mostly been presenting information and opinion from one side of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. You have barely had one Jewish voice on the podcast. Yes, you had the Jewish rabbi who is a settler. But I’m sorry, the settler movement is the worst Judaism and Zionism has to offer. My family are secular Jewish Israelis and they detest the settlers. Talk about straw-manning arguments. Speaking of debunked facts, you also uncritically repeated the Lancet “claim” that 186,000 people are projected to die in Gaza. That was in a letter to the Lancet, it was someone’s opinion. It was NOT peer-reviewed fact, but pro-Palestinian media reported it as such. I urge you to go to the Honestly podcast by Bari Weiss and listen to the most recent episode about the Palestinian “traitor.” And then, I urge you to listen to some Iranian, secular Israeli, and liberal Zionist voices for some much-needed balance in your view.
