Peter Rollins - The Archive

One of the few online people who can see through all the layers and actually talk about the real. I love Rollins and after a decade I’m starting to understand.

I feel like I’m understanding pyrotheology molecule by molecule - so slowly. But if the process really is the point, which seems to be an idea important to Peter Rollins’ work, I’m doing ok. I’m not far enough along to decide if I agree or disagree exactly, but I just love the process. This podcast challenges my intellect and imagination and even faith, but thinking is fun! So if you’re looking for answers, this isn’t your podcast. But if you want food for thought, this is a buffet.

So happy to see this collection of insightful, clever and moving talks published! Start anywhere and you’ll be hooked. Pete is a super engaging storyteller and his thoughts and insights are well researched and profound.

I wanted to find something worthwhile in Rollins, as he has a wonderful intellect and storytelling ability. Yet I can’t escape the feeling that for all his intellectual work and brilliance he is going nowhere, and worst of all he is leading his audience down a rabbit hole that will never find sun nor air again. There is a profound emptiness in his work, despite all the novel ideas. I travel no further, and I bid him farewell.
