Merold Westphal: Atheism for Lent

I loved talking to Merold Westphal and I’m pretty sure all the HBC Deacons and theology nerds across the inter-webs are gonna dig this conversation coming out of the barrel.  Westphal is a long time philosophy prof from Fordham University and has now reached the status of emeritus. Merold is a top notch philosopher and committed evangelical who thinks deep and wrestles faithfully.  He publishes regularly and also has an awesome book for a general audience. In the episode we discuss…  Heidegger &amp; The Onto-theological Critique Evangelicalism Growing up a dispensationalist and ending up a Christian philosopher Hegel, the social constitution of the self, &amp; the located nature of ‘reason’ Necessary Conditions for Christian Theism…God is personal &amp; speaks Pseudo Dionysius, Augustine, Aquinas, Feuerbach &amp; negative theology Revelation, the Word of God, and Human Receptivity the Rapture Rob Bell He also introduces us to the ‘Gang of Four’- the Desert Father, the Geneva Calvinists, the American Slaves, and the modern Amish.    –
