45. Deconstruction: Rethinking and Renewing your Faith and Theology 30:03

6M ago30:03

30:03

’Deconstruction’ is a bit of a buzz word at the moment and can be quite divisive. But what is it? What is deconstructing faith? What are the stages of faith deconstruction? How does it impact Christian theology? Is it destructive or demonic, or is it reformation or good old faith renewal? An important topic, so come along and listen to my thoughts!…

44. Postmodernism 34:21

6M ago34:21

34:21

Postmodernism is literally that which came after modernism. Where modernism is defined by the belief in universal rules and codes, and an optimistic hope in the inevitable progression of human society to a perfect utopia, postmodernism is defined by local beliefs and fragmentation, an emphasis upon subjective perspectives, and long French surnames.…

43. Arminianism 28:42

6M ago28:42

28:42

Arminianism is the classical alternative to Calvinism on the question of predestination. The five key points of Arminianism are precisely the theological ideas that inspired the Calvinist TULIP. Arminianism attempts to uphold both God’s sovereignty and human freedom and agency. Basically, God chooses those who would choose him.…

41. The Protestant Reformation: On Bread, Heretics, and (More) Books 32:49

7M ago32:49

32:49

The Reformation has begun and is showing no signs of slowing. Luther opened Pandora’s Box and the world will never be the same again. This episode continues the dramatic story of the people who challenged the church’s dogmatism in order to install their own sort of dogmatism. Hooray! Let’s explore the lives of Melancthon, Zwingli, and Calvin (and a…

40. The Protestant Reformation: On Coins, Monks, and Books 33:05

7M ago33:05

33:05

16th century Germany was an era of radical change and disruption. Many before had attempted to reform the church, but none were successful. Until a monk named Martin Luther came along and developed new ideas about Scripture, the clergy, the sacraments, and justification, among many other things. With the help of the late medieval’s equivalent to th…

39. Stoicism 39:56

7M ago39:56

39:56

The ancient Hellenistic philosophical system known as Stoicism is a profoundly practical and helpful way of doing life. I don’t necessarily say that all of Stoicism is to be uncritically adopted, but it is, generally - I believe - perfectly compatible with Christianity. Indeed, it inspired much of the teachings of Christianity. This episode explore…

39. On the Third Day According to the Scriptures 22:11

22:11

”For I handed on to you as of first importance what I in turn had received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures and that he was buried and that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures.” So wrote Paul in his letter to the Corinthian church (1 Cor. 15.3-4), passing on to the others the traditions a…

37. Pontius Pilate 30:09

7M ago30:09

30:09

Who killed Jesus? Probably depends on who you ask... BUT it was almost certainly this man, the governor of Judea, Pontius Pilate, who had Jesus executed. But who was he? Why was he in Judea? Why do the gospels present this man as kind of a weak, pathetic coward? Is that an accurate portrayal? Listen in to this episode to hear my thoughts!…

36. Incarnation (Christmas Special) 27:46

11M ago27:46

27:46

What does it mean to call Jesus Immanuel? Why does the carol call him the incarnate Deity? What does the word ’Incarnation’ even mean? The incarnation is the central promise of Christmas, that God became human, embraced humanity, to serve humanity. This episode explores some of the implications of such a claim.Full shownotes available: https://akch…

35. December 25 (Christmas Special) 32:01

11M ago32:01

32:01

Why is Christmas celebrated on the 25th of December? The New Testament doesn’t give us any clues about when Jesus was born, so why was this particular day chosen? This episode explores various theories - that Jesus was conceived on the 25th of March, that Constantine aligned the birth of Jesus with the celebration of Sol Invictus or Mithras, and mo…

34. Magi (Christmas Special) 24:07

12M ago24:07

24:07

Magi from the east followed a star to pay homage to Jesus in Bethlehem. They gave him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Sometimes known as ’Wise Men’ or ’Kings’, these enigmatic characters are iconic in the narrative of Jesus’ birth. But who were they? How many were there? How - and why - did they follow a star? What was up with those gifts? …

Does the Bible contain errors? Can it contain errors? Or is it entirely infallible or inerrant? Is it a divine book? Or a human book? What does it really mean to say that the Bible is inspired? Is it authoritative or normative for Christian theology? Listen to this episode on infallibilism to learn more!Shownotes available: https://akchidgzey.com/2…

31. Dietrich Bonhoeffer 28:49

28:49

1930’s Germany was a scary place. For everyone, but especially those with Jewish ancestry. Unfortunately, most German churches capitulated to Nazi ideology as Hitler installed a Reich Bishop and implemented the Aryan Paragraph. Some stood up to what was perceived as anti-Christian church practice, and paid the ultimate price for their bravery. One …

Following the disastrous People’s Crusade, led by Peter the Hermit, the great armies of Europe converged upon the ancient eastern capitol of Constantinople, full of pious energy and hopeful devotion.

33:34

Feminist theology and biblical scholarship is looking at questions about God and reading Scripture through the lens of a woman’s perspective, particularly with an eye toward the historic and still ongoing oppression, suppression, and even abuse, of women. These perspectives and theological contributions that come as a result are significant, import…

27. Egalitarianism 46:39

1y ago46:39

46:39

Egalitarianism is the idea that roles within church, marriage, society are not dictated by gender. I.e. women can be pastors too. As well as all the other things. This episode makes a case for Egalitarianism, challenging the interpretations of certain verses that are usually used to support Complementarianism.Full shownotes available: https://akchi…

What ”role” does a woman have in society? In churches? In families? Should they stay home and manage the household, or can they take on positions of leadership and authority? Can they preach and be pastors? Complementarianism posits that men and women have different roles, determined by gender that function in a complementary fashion to display the…

He was a fascinating character who founded Methodism and from who we can learn a lot.Shownotes …

20. Apocalypticism 25:14

1y ago25:14

25:14

Apocalyptic literature is filled with wild, esoteric imagery, but is generally coded critiques of imperial power and presentations of an alternative reality where God is the true king. Understanding this genre is important for understanding key biblical texts, not least the Book of Revelation.Full shownotes available: https://akchidgzey.com/2023/08…

24:35

Sacramentalism refers to the practice of partaking in the sacred acts of the Christian community, particularly baptism and the eucharist (or communion or the Lord’s Supper). But it is far more than simply eating and taking a bath. It is about engaging in and celebrating the mystery of God’s interaction with the world.Full shownotes available: https…

18. The Chalcedonian Schism 24:41

24:41

The early centuries of Christianity saw rise to various expressions of the Jesus movement as they wrestled to formulate orthodoxy. Some of these expressions were declared heretical at various councils. The Council of Chalcedon in 451 was one such council, addressing a variety of issues, the chief being a movement known as monophysitism, i.e. the be…

Following the controversy surrounding Arianism, a number of new heresies sprang up around the place. One of them was Nestorianism, which would precipitate the Council of Ephesus and would then be one of the several heresies addressed at the Council of Chalcedon. Nestorius struggled to reconcile the claim that the two natures of Christ’s divinity an…

16. Arianism 22:47

1+ y ago22:47

22:47

Arianism was one of the early Christological heresies that occupied a great deal of time and energy in the fourth century. Arius insisted that Jesus was a created being and thus not divine. It was declared a heresy at the Council of Nicea, but it didn’t go anywhere. In fact, it only became more popular.Full shownotes available: https://akchidgzey.c…

21:14

In 1 Corinthians, Paul is describing the resurrection body - of Jesus’ and of our own - and he quite definitively states that it is a ’body’. And yet in verse 50 he states ”Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God.” So what does that mean in light of what he was saying about a resurrected body? Is that body immaterial or ethereal or ’spiri…

Hedonism is the pursuit of pleasure. Pleasure is the highest good. If it feels good, than it’s the right thing to do. How does this fit within a Christian worldview?

Theodicy refers to the problem of pain and suffering. How could a good God allow evil?
