The Christian Atheist

The Christian Atheist is devoted to exploring all of life as it relates to faith in Christ. Philosophy, psychology, science, art and literature all contribute to our pursuit of Truth and the life that we are called to live, to the adventure of discovering the world and our place within it. The Author of the universe speaks to us through many means, and we try to attune our minds to all of them here, to discover and live the Way to Life through the Word, spoken, written and experienced. It IS possible to have respect for science, a fully rational outlook, a 21st century worldview AND be Christian.

On March 24th, 2022, the Associates for Biblical Research announced the discovery of an ancient curse tablet (defixio) on Mount Ebal at the site of "Joshua's altar." 
This is a potentially WORLD-SHAKING discovery, but the dust has not yet settled, and the academic war is only just beginning. Following the publication of the find and its analysis, the critical juggernaut, led by Drs. Christopher Rollston and Robert Cargill is proceeding apace in an apparent attempt to shut down serious investigation of this defixio. I argue that they are attempting to poison the well, and are not engaging in a fair academic disagreement based on the reality being presented. In episodes 107-109 we will investigate in some detail the critical evaluation of this discovery, with Dr. Rollston's position in episode 108 and Dr. Cargill's in episode 109.
In this series, as we promised in episode #52, we revisit this discovery following the publication of the scholarly paper on May 12th of this year. We hope to lay out the context and reasons this discovery and its controversial interpretation is so important. To do so, we must become acquainted with modern theology and biblical criticism as practiced in the contemporary West, the ongoing scholarly debate over the defixio, and finally to discuss C. S. Lewis's article, "Modern Theology and Biblical Criticism."

*Please see the link below to access the scholarly paper by Dr. Stripling and his associates, which is open access in the journal Heritage Science.
We must clearly understand what is at stake, and think seriously of what our faith depends on. We should also understand the value of such evidence in arguing our case for God, for Christ.
I would suggest that our listeners review our original episode, The Christian Atheist #52: “The Curse Tablet: Archaeology and Faith.” I have listed a series of websites below for more information.

Jenny and I discuss one of our favorite poems by 20th century modernist poet, T. S. Eliot, "The Hollow Men." In many ways this poem is expressing Eliot's near-despair in the journey that led him to Christ, as in his post-conversion poem, "The Journey of the Magi," which we looked at over the last two weeks. We might almost say that this poem represents "the cold coming we had of it. Just the worst time of the year for a journey. The ways deep and the weather sharp, the very dead of winter," leading to that encounter with the Christ-child that was, "you may say, SATISFACTORY."

Chatterview Part 2
 
Sometime in the last year, I received another request to put our podcast series, "The Machinery of the Looking-Glass" into book form. We did so, leading us to this conversation with Dr. Charles Howell of Youngstown State University, Dean of the Beeghly College of Liberal Arts, Social Sciences, and Education, in which we discuss our book, his testimony and his manuscript memoir on his journey to Christ later in life, which mirrors our own in interesting ways, the status of education and academia, and many other topics. Thank you, Dr. Howell, for this joyful conversation, your powerful testimony to God's goodness, and your friendship with The Christian Atheist!
 
This review from Dr. Howell of our Through the Looking Glass appears on Amazon:
 
"This memoir raises important questions about the grounds of faith. Wise was brought up a Christian, attended seminary, then renounced his faith and went on to become an atheist and a professor of philosophy. A personal crisis in his early fifties led him to question, and ultimately to reject, the reasoning that led him to atheism. The book raises many important themes: God’s action in our lives, the impossibility of deciding questions of faith based solely on reason, the dependence of morality on the existence of God, and (perhaps most important) the seductiveness of a humanistic world view and its ultimate inability to satisfy our most basic human needs.
Wise is an excellent writer. The chapters in the book are clear, well-organized, and concise, reflecting the structure of the podcasts on which they are based. If you haven’t read philosophy before, you will likely find passages on Plato, Socrates, Kant, and Sartre challenging, but readers who persevere will find the effort rewarding. You can get the gist of the argument without following every detail of philosophical reasoning.
The chapters on the author’s personal crisis—disappointing the expectations of family, the illness and death of his wife, and falling in love in his fifties—are powerful and compelling, demonstrating some of the ways in which faith is grounded in life experience."
 
THANK YOU, Dr. Howell!

On March 24th, 2022, the Associates for Biblical Research announced the discovery of an ancient curse tablet (defixio) on Mount Ebal at the site of "Joshua's altar." 
This is a potentially WORLD-SHAKING discovery, but the dust has not yet settled, and the academic war is only just beginning.
Today, as promised then, we revisit this discovery following the publication of the scholarly paper on May 12th of this year. In this series we hope to lay out the context and reasons this discovery and its controversial interpretation is so important. To do so, we must become acquainted with modern theology and biblical criticism as practiced in the contemporary West, and along the way discuss C. S. Lewis's article, "Modern Theology and Biblical Criticism."
*Please see the link below to access the scholarly paper by Dr. Stripling and his associates, which is open access in the journal Heritage Science.
We must clearly understand what is at stake, and think seriously of what our faith depends on. We should also understand the value of such evidence in arguing our case for God, for Christ.
I would suggest that our listeners review our original episode, The Christian Atheist #52: “The Curse Tablet: Archaeology and Faith.” I have listed a series of websites below for more information.
In addition, Jenny and I discuss the curse tablet on our No Compromise episodes #47 & #48, available on the Christian Atheist platform.

This VITAL article, "Addressing Biblical Criticism: A Critique of the Documentary Hypothesis," provides the Noahic example of Chiastic parallelism we quote in this episode, as well as a cogent critique of JEDP:

Jenny and I discuss a famous "fairytale" by the man C. S. Lewis called his "Master," George MacDonald, The Day Boy and the Night Girl, or The Romance of Photogen and Nycteris, a story rich in meaning and delight. This story picks up on many of the important themes of Paradise Lost, so we thought it a fitting way to close out our series on Milton. We pick up the thread of last week's incomplete discussion and run with it!

This story picks up on many of the important themes of Paradise Lost, so we thought it a fitting way to close out our series on Milton. By the end of our discussion it becomes plain that we will have to give this work a further airing next week, as Jenny makes it clear that John's reading is a bit one-sided!

Book Ten of Paradise Lost is the unraveling of the action of this epic poem. It is vitally important as the corollary of the Fall, which we saw in Book Nine, and it tells us a great deal about the nature of Sin and God's relation to ALL of creation. Join Jenny and I as we discuss this book on Thursday!
Here is an article entitled, "God is Relationship," that I found valuable after drafting this episode:

Book nine of Paradise Lost is the climactic moment in which The Fall occurs, and is thus arguably the most important book in the poem. I wish that I could say that between this episode of The Christian Atheist and Thursday's edition of No Compromise Jenny and I have done justice to this book, but it is immensely richer than our poor attempts to cover its brilliance. I think we could do an entire series on this book alone. After you have listened, please do not fail to read or listen to this book on your own. It will profoundly repay your effort.

Books seven and eight of Paradise Lost seem to form an organic unit, as together they present the story of creation, first from the perspective of the angel Raphael, and then from Adam's. Satan and evil are most conspicuous by their ABSENCE here.

Satan's soliloquies in Book Four of Paradise Lost are stunning psychological studies in the nature of evil as rational consciousness. We discover that self-reflective evil is NECESSARILY self-deceptive in a number of ways.
We continue our study of Paradise Lost, and are even more stunned at the brilliance and everyday relevance of Milton's epic poem!

Last week I predicted in No Compromise that this week's material, book 3, would be less dramatic and interesting than the content from books 1 and 2. Boy, was I wrong! Milton's depiction of the divine character is AMAZING!
We continue our study of Paradise Lost, and are even more stunned at the brilliance and everyday relevance of Milton's epic poem!
Our first book, THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS: The Imploding of an Atheist Professor's Worldview, is available NOW!

We examine C. S. Lewis's essay, "Historicism." Jenny and I discovered God's hand in the choice of essays for this year's analysis. I chose these four essays, not consciously aware of their interrelations. In this episode, I emphasize the message they all share, and their individual contributions to the greater message they together expound.
When you've listened to this episode of the Christian Atheist, join Jenny and I as we discuss it on our "No Compromise" podcast this Thursday, and join us throughout this season as we continue to explore the ever-deepening Mystery that is our Great God.
Our next Lewis essay will be "Historicism." Please listen beforehand to our Simple Gifts reading of it.

We examine C. S. Lewis's essay, "The Funeral of a Great Myth." I argue that Lewis was premature to announce this myth's death, and that what he calls the Myth is actually the Hegelian philosophical worldview that has come to dominate our culture.
When you've listened to this episode of the Christian Atheist, join Jenny and I as we discuss it on our "No Compromise" podcast this Thursday, and join us throughout this season as we continue to explore the ever-deepening Mystery that is our Great God.
Our next Lewis essay will be "Historicism." Please listen beforehand to our Simple Gifts reading of it.

The Christian Atheist is devoted to exploring all of life as it relates to faith in Christ. Philosophy, psychology, science, art and literature all contribute to our pursuit of Truth and the life that we are called to live, to the adventure of discovering the world and our place within it. The Author of the universe speaks to us through many means, and we try to attune our minds to all of them here, to discover and live the Way to Life through the Word, spoken, written and experienced. It IS possible to have respect for science, a fully rational outlook, a 21st century worldview AND be Christian.
