Show Notes
In our first episode, Philosophy and Theology professor and former Catholic monk Sean J McGrath lays the foundation for our search for Christ in the secular world. Questions we will address in this podcast:
* What’s the value of individuation and Christian faith in a socio-political order which is apparently falling apart? * How are we to understand the emptying of the western churches, while the waiting lines to therapy rooms are growing longer and longer? * How can a cultural phenomenon such as Jordan B. Peterson best be understood today and what does it have to do with secular christ. *Lastly, Sean also will share insights from contemplative Christianity and his years as a Catholic monk in establishing a practice that can be integrated into our secular lives of today.
McGrath discusses these themes together with Berlin based psychoanalyst Jakob Lusensky.

In the final episode of this season of searching for the seeds of Secular Christianity, we travel to the 20th century to learn from the German Protestant theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer. We explore his concept of religionless Christianity which developed as he sat imprisoned in Berlin by the Nazi regime for his resistance, and before his execution. McGrath continues to link back to Augustines idea of the invisible church and coins the term invisible Christianity.
