A cast of two halves! In the first half Bo and Tripp respond to 3 letters from listeners. Then we get a call with Micky Jones about choosing a seminary (43rd minute) – and when we come back for the 4th and final letter things get a little rowdy.  It turns out the resurrection is a topic that brings some important distinctions between the nerds.

Tim and Josh joined Tripp and Bo for the John Caputo book release broadcast and stuck around afterward for a TNT.  This is a rollicking, swashbuckling style of conversation for 44 minutes – then the topic turns to ministry contexts and the tone changes a little bit. If you are looking for books to read this year HERE are a couple of suggestion from Bo. *** If you enjoy all the Homebrewed Christianity Podcasts then consider sending us a donation via paypal.

Follow Jonnie on Twitter. Jonnie joined my in the HBC Headquarters in Redondo Beach. In the podcast we start discussing the resurrection exchange between Marcus Borg & Tony Jones [aka ToJo] & then end up on the necessity of a physical resurrection, atonement, eschatology, evangelical’s Easter concern, and Pannenberg. Attempting to fill in for the BoDaddy is a difficult task but Jonnie did a pretty good job.  I think I will let him back on the TNT w/ the BoDaddy so Bo can make sure we actually stay on topic.  You will notice I actually start a couple lists of theological options and then get distracted by Pannenberg and John Cobb.  The BoDaddy is a pro and knows to limit such theological temptations.  During the podcast we drank the Burning Bush IPA and gave a shout out to 350.org for climate change info. In the podcast we discuss these books: 1) Bodies and Souls, or Spirited Bodies? & Beyond Liberalism and Fundamentalism by  Nancey Murphey 2) Jesus: God & Man by Wolfhart Pannenberg 3) Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time by Marcus Borg 4) Old Testament Theology by Gerhard von Rad   Come Join Tripp & Jonnie for the Conference and Craft Brewery Fun. *** If you enjoy all the Homebrewed Christianity Podcasts then consider sending us a donation via paypal.
