Cosmic Christ | Jesus as the Logos Explained | Paul Anleitner Deep Talks 2021-12-15 | In my recent conversation with Paul VanderKlay & John Vervaeke, Vervaeke invoked the Greek word "LOGOS" so I thought it might be helpful for me to share a basic introductory primer on how the Bible (specifically John 1) uses that concept and applies it to Christ in some very profound (and controversial) ways.This is from a talk I gave in August of 2021 on the unique contributions of John's Gospel to the New Testament portrait of Jesus.-----About:Paul Anleitner holds degrees in history from the University of Michigan & a Master's in Christian Thought from Bethel Seminary (St. Paul, MN) where he graduated with highest honors.He's taught theology, philosophy, and biblical studies courses for over a decade and is a pastor with 15 years of experience working in a variety of denominational contexts.For the past 3.5 years, he's hosted a podcast called "Deep Talks: Exploring Theology & Meaning-Making" available wherever you subscribe to podcasts.deeptalkstheologypodcast.podbean.comTo support this channel and the Deep Talks podcast:patreon.com/deeptalkstheologypodcast

Theology & John Vervaeke: David Bentley Hart, Consciousness, & the Slain Lamb Prototype (Part 2) Deep Talks 2021-12-08 | Those of you who have been following my podcast for a while know that I've been fascinated by the work of @John Vervaeke . John and I have had a couple public dialogues, and I've also done several lectures on the points of intersection between Vervaeke's work (and the broader insights of cognitive science) and Christian theology.I thought I would do some shorter videos exploring some of those points of intersection. In this video, I'll discuss the work of philosopher & Eastern Orthodox theologian, David Bentley Hart in his "The Experience of God: Being, Consciousness, Bliss" and how it potentially intersects with John Vervaeke's work as a cognitive scientist in his "Awakening from the Meaning Crisis" lecture series.We'll talk about Verveake's concepts of radical de-centering, exaptation, mystical experiences, and consider how the Slain Lamb that John the Revelator pictures enthroned above the cosmos is the prototype for a new kind of human community...dare I even say a new kind of creation.____________About me:Paul Anleitner holds degrees in history from the University of Michigan & a Master's in Christian Thought from Bethel Seminary (St. Paul, MN) where he graduated with highest honors.He's taught theology, philosophy, and biblical studies courses for over a decade and is a pastor with 15 years of experience working in a variety of denominational contexts.____________Here's a video of my first conversation with John Vervaeke:youtu.be/7xX7DWZjmFcAnd a video of my second conversation with him:youtu.be/RUWK1WJZH_wFor the Deep Talks: Exploring Theology & Meaning-Making audio podcast:deeptalkstheologypodcast.podbean.comTo support my channel and podcast:patreon.com/deeptalkstheologypodcasFor John Vervaeke's "Awakening from the Meaning Crisis" series:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLND1JCRq8Vuh3f0P5qjrSdb5eC1ZfZwWJ Connect with Paul Anleitner on Twitter at:twitter.com/PaulAnleitner
DUNE | A Post Secular Age Masterpiece Deep Talks 2021-12-02 | As the West moves away from what philosopher Charles Taylor called "The Secular Age" and into a new Post-Secular era, we will begin to see greater evidence of the cultural shift in our cultural artifacts such as film & television.In this video, I'll talk about three reasons why the latest big-screen iteration of DUNE is the zeitgeist film for a new Post-Secular Age.To support this channel and the Deep Talks podcast:patreon.com/deeptalkstheologypodcast_______________________________FAIR USE COPYRIGHT NOTICEThe Copyright Laws of the United States recognizes a “fair use” of copyrighted content.
