The Theology Pugcast | The New Asceticism : The Theology Pugcast Episode 214 @TheTheologyPugcast | Uploaded January 2023 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
In some pockets of the Protestant world ‘asceticism’ is a dirty word. It brings works righteousness and unbiblical acts of self-abuse to mind. But is that the whole story? Jesus said, ‘When you fast’ not ‘If you fast.’ In other words, it’s expected, and there’s a right way to do it. So, perhaps it comes as a surprise that self-denial is actually growing in popularity, and it’s doing so outside the church. Why is it happening, and what should we think about it. Tune in for the conversation!
