To celebrate 50 episodes of the Love Rinse Repeat podcast, Liam Miller interviewed seven guests about Jesus' seven last words from the cross.
Here, David Congdon discusses the scandal of the words "my God, my God, why have you foresaken me?" Why there is hope in allowing these words to ring out a true disruption, resisting the urge to incorporate them neatly into our theology, piety, or liturgy.
Read MoreTo celebrate 50 episodes of the Love Rinse Repeat podcast, I interviewed seven guests about Jesus' seven last words from the cross. We discuss what we hear in these words, and how Christ’s final words might speak to a church distanced, isolated, and disrupted.
Guests: Grace Ji-Sun Kim, Laura Jean Truman, Tau'alofa Anga'aelangi, David W. Congdon, Sean Winter, Lauren R.E. Larkin, and W. Travis McMaken.
Read MoreI sat down with David Congdon and John Flett to talk about their new edited volume, Converting Witness: the Future of Christian Mission in the New Millennium. We talk about why David and John keep writing about mission, the present state of the field of missiology, how the Bible is/should be read for mission, the issues with the “Theological Interpretation of Scripture” movement, the problematic way the term “Christendom” is employed, and John offers the hottest of takes on a certain trinitarian ontologies conference.
The essays in Converting Witness are a celebration of the life and work of Darrell L Guder, and if you don’t know who that is, we begin by talking about his impact and importance.
Read MoreDavid Congdon's excellent The God Who Saves: a Dogmatic Sketch came out almost a year ago. We talked about the book then, and today, in this episode we revisit the work. We talk about the book, its reception, the impact its made on David's life this last year. We also talk about the contemporary US context (and evangelicalism within that). LISTEN in iTunes
Read More“I wrote the book for those wanderers, those exiles from the Christian tradition, who have been marginalised, oppressed, and abused by the church… yet are desperately in pursuit of some meaning and connection which would take them beyond themselves.”
It is also a written to say to Christians, "If you want to demonstrate your fidelity to Jesus Christ, you need to abandon the assumption that your church structure and traditions have exclusive grasp of the truth, and you need to ally yourself with those who have been marginalised by the church. Only that way, will you conform to Christ and live into the faith you're called to live into. In that way, its a call, to Christians, to put their Christianity at risk"
A (hopefully) fun, provocative, and encouraging site where I sharing thoughts (blog, talk, video) on faith, world, and self. My name's Liam Miller, I have studied Theology, Social Sciences, and Acting. I enjoy reading radical theology (actually all kinds of theology) and telling stories - the two tend to intertwine on this site.
