Are We Really Becoming Pagans Again? : The Theology Pugcast Episode 310 The Theology Pugcast 2024-10-07 | On today's show Tom brings along Paul Kingsnorth’s article, The Illusion of a Pagan West, for the Pugs to engage. Topics delved into range from why we still talk about Roman Civilization to the theatrics of subversive woke culture. Most interesting is Kingsnorth’s claim that we are not returning to paganism but are locked into to a shallow culture which subverts Christianity all the while being indebted to its ethical legacy, ending with nothing really worth living or dying for.Article: unherd.com/2024/09/the-illusion-of-a-pagan-westSupport the Pugcast on Patreon: patreon.com/thetheologypugcast?fbclid=IwAR17UHhfzjphO52C_kkZfursA_C784t0ldFix0wyB4fd-YOJpmOQ3dyqGf8The Theology Pugcast is a ministry of Trinity Reformed Church in Huntsville Alabama.

Dark Enchantment : The Theology Pugcast Episode 311 The Theology Pugcast 2024-10-14 | On today's show Chris leads the Pugs in a reflection on the story of Jonah--not the Biblical prophet, but the seminary student Rod Dreher interviewed for his book, Living in Wonder. Jonah was raised in an evangelical home, and was even homeschooled, yet fell into a spell of dark enchantment that included visions of demons and the use of psychedelic drugs. Eventually he was delivered through exorcism. What happened, and why does Jonah now say his evangelical upbringing did almost nothing to prepare him for any of this?

Oddly, they both identify people like Churchill as villains, though for different reasons, and functionally try to at least soften our view of the people traditionally seen as the bad guys.

Take Your Pick Agency or Autonomy? : The Theology Pugcast Episode 308 The Theology Pugcast 2024-09-23 | Today the Pugs revisit Matthew B. Crawford's book, Shop Class as Soulcraft. Among the many fascinating things discussed in it is the essential difference between autonomy and agency. Ironically, we live in a world of manufactured illusions of autonomy. We're led to make choices between options presented to us by parties that profit no matter what choice is made. On the other hand, there are people who possess true agency. Those are the people who get things done, and consequently are people we respect. And yet most people chose the illusion of autonomy over agency. Why is that? Join the Pugs as they discuss why.Support the Pugcast on Patreon: patreon.com/thetheologypugcast?fbclid=IwAR17UHhfzjphO52C_kkZfursA_C784t0ldFix0wyB4fd-YOJpmOQ3dyqGf8The Theology Pugcast is a ministry of Trinity Reformed Church in Huntsville Alabama.

The Delusion of Having a Meaningful Job : The Theology Pugcast Episode 306 The Theology Pugcast 2024-09-09 | Can we really have a ‘meaningful job’? Is such a notion delusional? Tom initiates discussion with the other Pugs around the topic of whether the very notion of a ‘meaningful job’ in the contemporary understanding is delusional. Introducing the topic by way of Stuart Whately’s recent article in Unherd, the Pugs unpack rich threads of conversation sparked by the article as it engages the contrast between the excessively practical-oriented lives of those pursing individual satisfaction within their career ambitions and those who pursue something altogether ‘useless’ by today’s standards.Article: unherd.com/2024/05/the-delusion-of-having-a-meaningful-job/?=newsroomindexfrmemailSupport the Pugcast on Patreon: patreon.com/thetheologypugcast?fbclid=IwAR17UHhfzjphO52C_kkZfursA_C784t0ldFix0wyB4fd-YOJpmOQ3dyqGf8The Theology Pugcast is a ministry of Trinity Reformed Church in Huntsville Alabama.

Who Counts as a Theologian? Reflections on Lewis with Dr. Jahdiel Perez : The Theology Pugcast Ep303 The Theology Pugcast 2024-08-19 | Who counts as a theologian? Who gets to address the deep things of God and creation? Tom is at the helm this week and he is joined by a special guest, Dr. Jahdiel Perez of Villanova University. Dr. Perez is a C. S. Lewis scholar, writing the first doctoral dissertation in ‘theology’ at the University of Oxford on C. S. Lewis. Wrapping up our Lewis theme, Tom and Jahdiel discusses many of the rich ‘theological’ insights of C. S. Lewis, from questions of evil and suffering in light of God’s goodness to questions of Christian enjoyment of created goods in contrast to Nietzsche’s criticism of Christian faith as wholly joy denying. The highlight of the conversation centers around C. S. Lewis as a theologian, not merely as apologist or academic.Special appearance by Glenn Sunshine, whose personal computer may have been hacked by the ghost of Rousseau during the show.Dr. Perez’s latest Open Access article on Lewis: doi.org/10.1111/heyj.14306Dr. Perez’s Faculty Page: https://www1.villanova.edu/university/liberal-arts-sciences/programs/humanities/faculty/biodetail.html?mail=jahdiel.perez@villanova.edu&xsl=bio_longDr. Perez on instagram: instagram.com/jahdielnperez?igsh=MXJ3bjJwMGQ1MW5xZA%3D%3D&utm_source=qrSupport the Pugcast on Patreon: patreon.com/thetheologypugcast?fbclid=IwAR17UHhfzjphO52C_kkZfursA_C784t0ldFix0wyB4fd-YOJpmOQ3dyqGf8The Theology Pugcast is a ministry of Trinity Reformed Church in Huntsville Alabama.

Post-Mortem for Christian Colleges? An Interview with Dr. Phil LaFountain : Theology Pugcast Ep298 The Theology Pugcast 2024-07-15 | Another Christian college has closed its doors. This time, one of Chris's alma maters, Eastern Nazarene College, aka, ENC. ENC was a small Christian college on the south shore of Massachusetts, not far from Boston. The usual things were cited by the Trustees of the college as reasons for its demise--declining enrollment, financial challenges, etc. What the announcement didn't mention was the growth of liberalism, or in contemporary parlance, "wokeism" among the faculty and administration, and how that undermined the support of the school among its constituency. Today the Pugs are joined by Dr. Phil LaFountain, an old friend and classmate of Chris's. Phil was a professor of theology at ENC for 20 years, and at the end, one of the few conservatives still there.

Academic Herd-Minds and Twitter Mobs : The Theology Pugcast Episode 289 The Theology Pugcast 2024-05-20 | Today the Pugs react to an article in New Oxford Review entitled, "How Cowardice, the Herd Mind & Twitter Mobs Threaten Academia by Jason M. Morgan and Mark Ramseyer. If you're still under the impression that higher education is a disinterested pursuit of truth, think again. It has been reduced to political advocacy and ressentiment. (Yes, that's spelled correctly--en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ressentiment.) Morgan and Ramseyer had the temerity to correct conventional wisdom on something known as "the Comfort Women" of World War 2. There's no space here to treat this fully, but suffice it to say their scholarship was not received warmly by academic feminists. This resulted in a campaign to get them both cancelled. We're happy to report the cancelation failed. But the whole sorry episode has at least given the Pugs something to reflect upon.Article Referenced: newoxfordreview.org/documents/how-cowardice-the-herd-mind-twitter-mobs-threaten-academiaSupport the Pugcast on Patreon: patreon.com/thetheologypugcast?fbclid=IwAR17UHhfzjphO52C_kkZfursA_C784t0ldFix0wyB4fd-YOJpmOQ3dyqGf8The Theology Pugcast is a ministry of Trinity Reformed Church in Huntsville Alabama.

Listen in to learn (among other things), where the guys first met and became friends, what they think about Annihilationism, why it really might come down to choosing between Aristotle and Nietzsche, why getting dressed up for church is a good thing--even though your salvation can't be boiled down to that, and a whole lot more!Tom’s recommended works of Bonaventure: amazon.com/Works-Bonaventure-Enkindled-Perfection-Addressed/dp/1684220424?dplnkId=7a34e86a-4175-4841-9b27-eda88e86c2a8&nodl=1Support the Pugcast on Patreon: patreon.com/thetheologypugcast?fbclid=IwAR17UHhfzjphO52C_kkZfursA_C784t0ldFix0wyB4fd-YOJpmOQ3dyqGf8The Theology Pugcast is a ministry of Trinity Reformed Church in Huntsville Alabama.

The 4B Movement, Misandry, and Anti-Natalism : The Theology Pugcast Episode 286 The Theology Pugcast 2024-04-29 | In this episode, the guys talk about the 4B movement that originated in Korea and is getting some buzz in America. The 4Bs (in Korean) are no dating, no sex, no marriage, and no children. It’s partly responsible for the collapsing birthrate in Korea. The guys discuss the roots and implications of the movement with a tangent into ecology and forest management, though how they got there is anybody’s guess.Article link: thefp.com/p/south-korea-america-having-kidsSupport the Pugcast on Patreon: patreon.com/thetheologypugcast?fbclid=IwAR17UHhfzjphO52C_kkZfursA_C784t0ldFix0wyB4fd-YOJpmOQ3dyqGf8The Theology Pugcast is a ministry of Trinity Reformed Church in Huntsville Alabama.

Men & Social Status, Women & College Debt, Hypergamy, and More! : The Theology Pugcast Episode 285 The Theology Pugcast 2024-04-22 | Today Chris takes the Pugs into the dark recesses of social status and asks questions few are willing to ask. For example: Why do so many women who apply to rent Chris's apartments have so much student loan debt, and such low credit scores? Why do young men in the trades with no debt and good income still lose out to flashy guys with tons of debt who flash shiny objects? And, can contemporary culture change its ways of measuring worth to reflect reality and not the image-generated fantasies of people on the make in higher education, corporate America, and left-wing ideologues? Tune in for these questions and many more!Leon Podles on the Aaron Renn Show Podcast: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/leon-podles-the-deep-roots-of-mens-alienation-from-church/id1530654244?i=1000651785160Leon Podles Interview Transcript on Aaron’s Substack: aaronrenn.com/p/leon-podles-the-deep-roots-of-mens?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2Support the Pugcast in Oxford on Indiegogo: indiegogo.com/projects/the-pugcast-goes-to-oxford/x/6893861#Support the Pugcast on Patreon: patreon.com/thetheologypugcast?fbclid=IwAR17UHhfzjphO52C_kkZfursA_C784t0ldFix0wyB4fd-YOJpmOQ3dyqGf8The Theology Pugcast is a ministry of Trinity Reformed Church in Huntsville Alabama.

Creation, Theophany, and Transcendence : The Theology Pugcast Episode 284 The Theology Pugcast 2024-04-15 | Today’s show builds on the conversation about imagination and C. S. Lewis last week. Tom and the guys continue the interaction with Lewis’ rich sacramental vision and its implications for how our human created natures are enriched and helped to come into their own principally by the vertical, our relation to God, but secondarily by the good gift of others that God has supplied for us to transcend and yet become ourselves in the rich fabric of created reality.

Imagination and Meaning : The Theology Pugcast Episode 283 The Theology Pugcast 2024-04-08 | C.S. Lewis said, “Reason is the natural organ of understanding, but imagination is the organ of meaning.” "Working off Holly Ordway's book "Apologetics and the Christian Imagination," the guys discuss what imagination is, how it connects to meaning, and how it is foundational to reason. They also discuss the role of imagination in Lewis’s conversion, the “good dreams” of paganism, and how these things can help lead people to Christ.Support the Pugcast in Oxford on Indiegogo: indiegogo.com/projects/the-pugcast-goes-to-oxford/x/6893861#Support the Pugcast on Patreon: patreon.com/thetheologypugcast?fbclid=IwAR17UHhfzjphO52C_kkZfursA_C784t0ldFix0wyB4fd-YOJpmOQ3dyqGf8The Theology Pugcast is a ministry of Trinity Reformed Church in Huntsville Alabama.
