Smart, Accessible, and Necessary
As a liberal/leftist who was raised in Christian fundamentalism, converted to Roman Catholicism, left the Church (on good terms), and has since been revisiting the history of world religion, the early Church, the Reformation, and particularly progressive Anglo-Catholicism, I find this podcast to be a great resource for clear-headed thinking about biblical scholarship. It’s run by an atheist, but to me it embodies the kind of seriousness and skepticism that made the French mystic and radical Simone Weil comment that “some forms of atheism are purifications of the idea of God.” Being able to recognize and navigate the different representations of the divine is the first step toward shedding our culture’s idolatrous identification of the Ultimate with our human representations. Religious or not, you will likely find this is a terrific resource for learning and complicating your faith or lack thereof.
