Secularizing Christianity with John Cobb

June 12, 2012 by Tripp Fuller 13 Comments

The one great world religion is killing the planet on the backs of the poor.  Will the church let this death-dealing faith, economism, win?  John Cobb is here to challenge the church with a progressive missiology.  One in which the church is called to join God in working for the salvation of the world.  What do we gotta do?  We need to combat religiosity and secularism by secularizing Christianity!

This is the first part of session four from the emergent village theological conversation.  John’s first appearance was posted here and here where he discusses Christology and the Common Wealth of God.

John Cobb has been on the podcast a number of times; Prayer and Process, and the special 101st episode, earth day, and Incarnation-cast. Cobb will answer your questions.

Faniac is a bit strong for us reserved Anglican types, but the two recent podcasts with John Cobb and Tom Oord might even get me to lift my hands in the air. I wish this episode contained more 'good news.' I hope all we who listen do our parts to have this call for humanity to repent of its eco/suicide heard in every church. 

 

A search for John B Cobb is what led me to the podcast lo so many years ago, so it is always heartening to hear JC teach. thanks to all of you who have made this possible.

Listened to this on my ride in to work this morning, and it was great.  I'd love to have the chance to just sit and talk with this guy...

If you're going to be legalistic, I recommend just being a Jew. - Cobb #FANiac
