Bloodshed and Blessing: A Conversation with Fr. Dwight Longenecker
About this episode
The episode features a conversation with Fr. Dwight Longenecker about his book 'Bloodshed and Blessing' and the significance of blood sacrifice in traditional religions and Christianity.
The Pugsters welcome Fr. Dwight Longenecker to the show to discuss his new book, Bloodshed and Blessing. The book discusses blood sacrifice as a component of all traditional religions until those sacrifices find their fulfillment and ending in Christ. The conversation ranges over the “why” of sacrifice, its significance in the Eucharist today, and even the Sword of St. Michael, a set of seven churches dedicated to St. Michael in a straight line from the Holy Land to Ireland. It’s an interesting and provocative conversation about topics not often discussed in the Reformed and Evangelical worlds.
