Delving into the intertwined themes of religious commitment and moral dilemmas, this chapter analyzes 'The Little Drummer Girl' by John le Carre. A discussion on Christian atheism and the significance of belief unfolds through a conversation between a man and a woman. The chapter also reflects on the complexity of religious texts and the challenging juxtaposition of divine benevolence with historical atrocities.
This week we're joined by Slavoj Zizek! We discuss his new book, Christian Atheism, Judith Butler, the mafia, and where to find a good diner in New York.
