The Collapse of Christianity by David Bentley Hart (BONUS!)
About this episode
David Bentley Hart discusses the need for Christianity to abandon political power and cultural domination to rediscover the compassion of Christ.
Philosopher and theologian David Bentley Hart explains why Christianity must abandon political power, cultural domination and the mythology of “Christian civilization” to rediscover the radical compassion of Christ. He challenges common interpretations of Paul, faith and salvation before exploring Christology, divine manifestation and what it truly means to say that God became human. They also dive into Lewis Carroll’s spiritual absurdity, the childhood genius of Alice in Wonderland and the revolutionary filmmaking of Orson Welles.
