Exploring the Concept of Abba in Understanding God

What if the death of God at the end of Modernity was stitched in the metaphysical assumptions from the outset? What if these assumptions can and should be challenged on scientific and philosophical grounds? What if these assumptions have been internalized, not just in the academy, but in the church?

This are a few of the questions we talk about in the first have of this podcast. Then we end up covering the incarnation, prayer, divine action, the history of Israel, and the evolution of God among other things.
