The Intersection of Radical Theology and Ministry

Christopher Rodky discusses how his journey as an ordained pastor intertwines with his academic exploration of radical theology. He highlights the uncomfortable dynamic within church communities regarding death of God theology, emphasizing a need for deeper theological engagement. Rodky's education in continental philosophy paved the way for a robust understanding of Nietzsche’s critiques of Christianity, which in turn shapes his pastoral approach. By correlating traditional Christian teachings with radical theological ideas, he aims to present a vision that does not reject faith but reformulates it in light of contemporary concerns.
