    Reading with Paulus: Introduction

    After a much needed summer break, we're back with the soft relaunch of Tillich Today. In this week's episode, we discuss the evolution of the podcast and begin the first of many deep dives into Paul Tillich's systematic theology trilogy. This includes a nice back and forth on the complexities of Tillich's thought, a look into his basic critiques of religious fundamentalism, and the distinction between theology and philosophy. We also discuss how Tillich's ideas challenge traditional notions of God and ultimate concern, emphasizing the importance of understanding these concepts beyond a strictly Christian framework.

    Why Jewish Ethics are Different than Christian Ethics with Rabbi Geoff Mitelman

    "Judeo-Christian" morality is a concept that's frequently thrown around in contemporary western culture. The problem? It doesn't really exist. That's why I asked friend of the show, Rabbi Geoff Mitelman, to return to Tillich Today to discuss Jewish Ethics, the Hebrew Bible, and the myth of Judeo-Christian values.

    Can Science and Religion Find Common Ground? with Rabbi Geoff Mitelman

We discuss the benefits of constructive disagreement, the distinctions between religious, philosophical, and scientific methodologies, and the parameters of contemporary Zionism.

    "Trust the Process" with Dr. Thomas J Oord

    This week, I welcome Dr. Thomas J. Oord to the podcast to discuss process philosophy, relational theology, and his defense of LGBTQ+ inclusion in Christian spaces. As someone who is comfortable identifying as an atheist and still has a lot of resentment towards her conservative Baptist upbringing, Oord's approach to theology and his emphasis on building relationships as a key feature of his ministry was a breathe of fresh aid.

    When the Abyss Gazes Back: Nosferatu, Paul Tillich, and the Weimar Republic

    As many of you may already know, I also run an educational YouTube channel called BYTE-GEIST. As a special bonus episode this week, I'm uploading one of my recent video essays. Monsters, especially when it comes to horror films, are never just monsters. Sure, they’re human creations, but what they reflect is anything but simple fantasy. Horror, as a genre, has always acted as an unsettling mirror to society’s deepest fears and insecurities. The shit that keeps us awake at night and makes our hearts skip a beat, all personified as imaginary beasts of every shape and size. Few films capture this dynamic as powerfully as F.W. Murnau’s 1922 masterpiece, Nosferatu. It’s not just a cheap vampire movie—it’s a haunting window into the spiritual and cultural anxieties of the German landscape immediately following World War I. So….what happens when a society collectively stares into the abyss? Let’s find out Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
