Brendan Graham Dempsey | Metamodern Spirituality | Debating the Legacy of Modernity for Christianity (w/ Paul VanderKlay) @BrendanGrahamDempsey | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
In this episode, I assume the modern historical-critical perspective with pastor and 'This Little Corner of the Internet' thinker @PaulVanderKlay to explore the tension points it has with the traditional-devotional lens--and to consider if and how these impasses might be transcended. Does history matter to faith and to the faithful? If so, how, when, and why? Can we avoid equivocating discussions around the "reality" of Christianity? How crucial is the nonrational? Overall, we rehearse what challenges the traditional approach to Christianity faces as it develops into modern expressions and interpretations on the way towards a metamodern instantiation.
