A Tour de Amore with Thomas Jay Oord: Homebrewed Christianity 47

March 20, 2009 by Chad Crawford 6 Comments

picture-2 This week Homebrewed Christianity gets lovey dovey. Tripp interviews Thomas J. Oord, a Nazarene philosopher-theologian out of the Wesleyan and Holiness traditions.

Thomas Oord’s work spans science, philosophy, and theology as he explores love’s role in the Big Bang and continuous creation of the universe, in all the major world religions, neuroscience, and human relationships.

Check out Thomas Jay Oord’s books:

The Many Facets of Love: Philosophical Explorations

Science of Love: The Wisdom of Well-Being

Philosophy of Religion: Introductory Essays

Also, we invite our listeners to participate in a call-in competition: call in a short introduction of me and Tripp for the next podcast for a chance to win a 6-pack of official Homebrewed Christianity Lenten Doppelbock, assuming it comes out as delicious as it smells in my apartment right now. (Must be 21 to participate!)

Thank you for the podcast including Thomas Oord. This one touched on my favorite subject. The words to the song at the end "I want to know what love is, I want to feel what love is, I know you can show me" are still ringing in my ears. Listening as pointed out as a theme in this conversation and I to think it is so very important. The mentioning of the way we act makes people want to listen to what we say, is so very important to me and so true. Love is more than feelings, thought it includes feelings. Our actions, or how we treat others, shows our great love of God and others, or not. Believing in love and how to implement our beliefs on love differ. It was mentioned that we say we believe in love and act in love but we differ in our actions when it comes to things such as homosexuality, etc. Listening and staying open to others are keys I learned from this podcast on how to love. Again thanks, Tripp and Chad.
