Theology Nerd Throwdown

Subscribe on iTunes Here! The deacons have responded to the challenge! That is exactly what we were hoping for when we cooked up a little obstacle course around issue of crucifixion and resurrection. The callers navigate the obstacles with ease and in doing so get to show off some their best theological moves! In this hour we hear from folks all the way from the forests of northern British Columbia, to the island of Jersey. In fact, we got calls from Africa, Asia, Australia and Eastern Europe. Here is a hand-selected sample to showcase a variety of approaches. We want to thank everyone who called in and all of those that made donations to help support the podcast!   You can read the link to the original challenge here if you need to get up to speed.

One of our favorite theology nerds – author J.R. Daniel Kirk drops by the HBC Headquarters for an Easter style Throwdown. This was recorded last year and placed in the cellar to age. What you are about to enjoy is some vintage goodness! Kirk is the author of Jesus have I love but Paul? and he blogs at Storied Theology.  This is his third  visit to the podcast – and he talked with us at Wild Goose West.    WARNING: if you are going to call in a response to the Easter Call-In Challenge, do so before listening Kirk!   Learn more about your ad choices.

Happy Birthday!  HomeBrewed is celebrating its 5th and BoDaddy is celebrating his 40th! Subscribe on iTunes Here!
