JMG on the Dodcast

Another day, another podcast! This time I'm on The Dodcast with host Luke Dodson, and our theme is the decline and fall of Faustian civilization. It was a good lively conversation covering a lot of ground. Check it out here.

Matthew Fox was one of my first intros to liberal Christian theology. It was utterly horrible. The ironic thing is that your work has made me a better Christian than the liberal Christian theologians!

From my outsider's perspective, it would be hard to be a worse Christian than the liberal Christian theologians, unless you want to go all the way into overt atheism. Even then there are some who could give the atheists a run for their money.

I can't help but think of John Shelby Spong. I've read several of his books, and still can't figure out why his post-theism isn't just atheism. I've yet to figure out how his "ground of being" isn't just some natural force like gravity, much less why I'd call it "God" and want to reinvent Christianity around it. He could definitely give any atheist a run for his money. I've seldom encountered a more anti-Christian individual.
