This episode is about Pussy Hat Christianity vs. #MAGA Hat Christianity
Donna Bowman, author of the Homebrewed Christianity Guide to Being Human, is a rare theologian in that she does qualitative research (translation: she talks to real humans).
Donna and Tripp sit down and talk about getting out of the office and library to talk with real people, what made her decide to dedicate her life to educating, that question that hit at the existential register and demanded a better answer than the one she was given, and on reading the puzzle that is the bible
Plus, Donna shares some of the cross cultural metaphysical assumptions she's discovered in her research and how they differ from those in the academy, the pussy hats made and worn for the women's marches after Trump's inauguration, the intersection of the symbolic and material, Adorno and "Hillary hate," and using TV and media a place of theological research.
