Episode notes

This personal reconstruction of number one is incorporated in a passage like first corinthians 13. In the same way this reconstruction of what is this faith, and have i gotten it wrong? And whatis my sense of belonging in this is also part of the biblical world view. You read the disciples andn their groping and wrestling with understanding even who jesus is. They had to do this massive revision of jesus as a conquering messiahwho was all about power.

David French and Curtis Chang discuss the hot topic of “deconstruction,” a term with multiple meanings, from reevaluation of specific faith related issues to a deeper questioning of Christian faith itself. For many the discussion around deconstruction stems from some sense of pain or hurt caused by the church. David and Curtis (and producer Kris) explore the complex and deeply personal dimensions of this process, including practical suggestions for listeners.
