Episodes
Has the "biblical worldview" always existed? Can the exvangelical escape evangelicalism? Why does "deconstruction" sound so familiar? So many questions. My answers will probably trouble you. But it wouldn’t be bleak theology if Plato, Nietzsche, and Derrida didn’t show up, right? And there’s even some Marx, just for fun. I can’t say that it’s postmodern Marxism, but maybe? Judge for yourselves!
Host Burke Gerstenschlager introduces bleak theology and himself, explains the importance that all theology is autobiographical, and shares what's in store.
