One of the greatest insights of the Google-World is the freedom of Beta. A Beta is more than a product not-yet-ready-for-consumption, but a way of thinking, creating, and living. It owns being unfinished. It expects contribution, evolution, transparency. For a long time all of culture was under a spell. It believed in the [...]
What do you get when you put two of the world’s top philosophical theologians, a prestigious university President, and me in a room with a camera? A fun conversation.
At the American Academy of Religion I was able to join LeRon Shults, Philip Clayton, and Stephen Knapp for a discussion about how theology finds traction in [...]

Truth is dangerous business. Truth is really dangerous when it comes to religion. It is definitely not a fashionable topic [...]
Check out this Roderick video on Derrida. He deals, to no small degree, with the quintessential Derrida, namely, the meaning of deconstruction, a term that he understands to signify “housework (see 2:00 in).”
This lecture is still part of Roderick’s Self Under Siege lectures. And what I have realized are the most important points [...]
I was recently skimming through the introduction of Brian McLaren’s A Generous Orthodoxy and came across an important appropriation that McLaren makes of Stanley Grenz.

For those of you completely uninterested in philosophy, I can’t blame you, at least based on the current and elitist state of the discipline.
