92. God is everywhere: James Gordon on Divine Omnipresence

April 22, 2016 by Randal

Christians regularly talk about God’s presence in space, but what do we mean when we use such language? I discuss this issue in the following passage on pages 22-23 of my 2009 book Finding God in the Shack: “if you go to church on a Sunday morning you might hear the pastor address the hushed congregation with the words: […]

86. Making Sense of the Incarnation: A Conversation with Timothy Pawl

February 25, 2016 by Randal

The objections to the incarnation presented by the contributors to that book were many, but perhaps the most incisive was presented by Hick himself as he railed […]

63. Michael Rea on Philosophy of Religion and Analytic Theology

March 7, 2015 by Randal

Fifty years ago the philosopher keen to study philosophy of religion was not that far off the chemist keen to study alchemy. In other words, it might provide a novel pastime, just so long as you didn’t grant the discourse any significance for the real world. Things have certainly changed.

55. Does the Trinity make sense? A conversation with Michael Rea

December 4, 2014 by Randal

A.W. Tozer once said, “Love and faith are at home in the mystery of the Godhead. Let reason kneel in reverence outside.” And why are we obliged to leave reason outside? Well the doctrine of God brings with it many conundrums, but there is probably none greater than that posed by Trinitarian doctrine, that is, […]

August 18, 2013 by Randal

Here’s the second of two video interviews I did for the Center for Philosophy of Religion at Notre Dame. If you thought the other (two minute) interview was too long then I have good news: this one is half as long!

Can analytic philosophy save theology?

August 19, 2011 by Randal

Theology today is beset by a problem, one that is shared by many disciplines in the humanities. The problem is multi-layered. In fact it is a number of problems. Let me take a moment to identify three of them. 1. Skepticism: Many theologians write in the shadow of Kant’s “Copernican Revolution”. There is an enormous and […]
