As promised here is the concluding section of my conversation with David exploring the meaning of the word ‘sin’. In this conclusion we do a deep dive into the text of Romans 5:12 - a pivotal verse for the concept of ‘original sin’ - and David explai... more

“Original sin” is - apparently - one of the bedrock doctrines of Christianity. But what exactly does it mean? This is how I began this discussion with David. Our main focus was Romans 5 and in particular verse 12 - the main ‘proof text’ for the doctr... more

One of the critiques of Christian theology is that it has been largely framed by men - and thus is susceptible to masculine views of God and humanity. I can only speculate on this, but I have often privately thought that behind the Cappadocian Father... more

Fr John Behr’s visit to Australia is just over a month away. I interviewed him recently to get a foretaste of what he will be talking to us about.

John is clearly a major thought leader in modern theology. I got a taste of this recently from a post... more

    This stuff is great. It’s all about getting theology out of its sometimes stuffy quarters into the exciting world of work and creativity, where real life happens. Love your work Tony and co.; it’s inspiring, down to earth, real, intellectually engaging, and is helping re-vision Jesus not as a religious figure, but as a brilliant Someone you’d love to introduce to your mates.

    Probably not for those highly committed to any certain theological position at all costs. Then again...maybe it is.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

David Bentley Hart on his Revolutionary Translation of Romans 5:12
Q: Could you explain the Latin and its significance?
The Latin translation has significant implications, as it references the masculine noun, leading to interpretations tied to personal culpability and original guilt.
David Bentley Hart on the real meaning of 'sin'
Q: If you were ever going to do a third edition of your translation which you won't do, would you consider not using the word sin?
Hart discusses that he finds it complex and would possibly use a word like 'errancy' instead, but emphasizes that moral implications still remain.
Hope and Hell; how I came to a larger vision of redemption
Q: How do you address the conflict between the traditional evangelical view and your beliefs?
I believe the ultimate question isn't about who's going to hell, but rather what God is building in the world, which reframes the dialogue away from judgment towards a cosmic understanding of redemption.
Hope and Hell; how I came to a larger vision of redemption
Q: How do you handle going to a traditional Anglican church with these views?
I initially ignored the discrepancies but found rising irritation at the sermons. Although my wife and I considered leaving, we decided to stay and engage with those who might share similar concerns, believing that times are changing and there are others quietly grappling with this issue.
Beyond 'easy grace': Universalism and the Call to Discipleship
Q: Did early church fathers embrace apocatastasis as a way to avoid the challenges of discipleship?
Ilaria denied the claim, asserting that early church fathers exemplified discipline and commitment to moral behavior contrary to the soft-hearted perceptions.
