	22 Dec 2022	No Compromise 26: Hegel Simplified: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Part 6	00:47:12
Jenny and I continue to discuss (and try to simplify) our series on Hegel. In this episode we discuss the "Bad Hegel" (Part 2) which is vital to understanding Hegel's hidden and pernicious influence in today's world. This is the critical episode in our simplifying Hegel series. In our series on atheism I discovered that credal atheists represent a very limited threat to theism, both because their intellectual position is weak, being ungrounded, and because what most Enlightenment atheists really want and how they act tends to betray their credal stance. This sort of atheist is only about 5% of the US population, though significantly more in Europe. What our two-track Hegelian definition of atheism also reveals, though, is that there is a far more robust and pernicious manifestation of the spirit of atheism, one that has been with us for a very long time but has never reached such broad acceptance before in the Western world. Its modern incarnation, I claim, finds its origin in the philosophy of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. This is probably the most important explanatory episode in our series The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Hegel, also called "The Implosion of the West."

	13 Oct 2022	No Compromise #16: The Haidt Effect, Part 1	00:26:14
Jenny and I discuss a phenomenon we've observed on the contemporary scene in which committed members of the political left find an issue that has "crossed the line" for them, and rebel from the proposed orthodoxy, usually seeing only this issue as problematic, or as having a particular origin in recent times that is wrong and must be addressed, but missing the larger sense in which these problems are the natural logical outplay of the logic of the left, the ideology of Hegelianism/Marxism/Critical Theory/Wokism. "here's a question: does big picture, abstract thinking cause liberals to be less happy because they are removing themselves from the embodied here and now? After all, the ability to live in the moment and appreciate our lives as they exist does seem to be a key ingredient in day-to-day contentment. Or is it conservatives' concern with lasting marriage, strong family cohesiveness, and day-to-day sociality that tips the scales toward greater daily contentment and happiness?"

	20 Mar 2023	92 PARADISE LOST, Book 4: Evil Self-Reflective; Evil Self-Deceptive	00:19:05
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!

	14 Feb 2022	42 The Ugly Hegel (Continued)	00:22:41
Karl Marx sets himself in opposition to Hegel, but in doing so actually only more deeply instantiates all the poisonous seeds of Hegel's philosophy. In both Marxist and National Socialist incarnations, prescriptive Hegelianism as a ruling ideology was catastrophic in the 20th century. Yet instead of abandoning the ideology we continue to double-down on it in new and various forms, progressively marching through our institutions, infecting them with Hegelian reasoning and metaphysics. It is so successful because it appeals to our human nature, and it makes us feel superior to all that came before us, to the stable elements of our world, which it paints as both retrogressive and oppressive, and points to the perfectible future which is infinitely preferable, and which it alone can deliver. It is, in other words, a religion without a transcendent God. https://www.youtube.com/c/TheChristianAtheist/featured https://www.facebook.com/JnJWiseWords https://wisewordsforyouroccasion.wordpress.com #thechristianatheist #drjohndwise #drjohnwise #johnwise #christian #atheist #christianity #atheism #jesus #jesuschrist #god #bible #oldtestament #newtestament #nocompromise #rationality #faith #philosophy #philosopher #culture #society #hegelism #hegel #reason #incarnation #history#psychology #theology #literature #humanities #hardquestions #postmodernism #woke #wisdom #ethics #science #poetry #hegelianism

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!

	23 Jul 2022	No Compromise #4: The Magician’s Nephew, Part 1	00:47:45
No Compromise is an experimental new feature on The Christian Atheist. If you are a regular listener, you know my voice, AND you know our story, or as much of it as we’ve told on the Christian Atheist. My wife Jenny was the “looking-glass” through which I returned to Christ. I tell the story in episodes 2-8, “The Machinery of the Looking-Glass.” Qu’ils sont beaux les pieds! Isaiah 52:7. (If you'd like to know the backstory on this, check out the Valentine's Day edition of our Simple Gifts podcast!) On "No Compromise" we will discuss Christian Atheist themes – with each other, and, if you’ll join us, with you! This week in an attempt to lighten the mood of the past few weeks, Jenny and I read and discuss C S Lewis's THE MAGIACIAN'S NEPHEW.

	12 Apr 2021	4 Lessons from Immanuel Kant: The Machinery of the Looking-glass, Part 3	00:15:12
Immanuel Kant, in the face of the overwhelming forces of science and philosophy in his day, undertook the monumental task of limiting the claims of knowledge to transcendent insight, in order to allow for the possibility of morality, of human freedom. That is, Kant made it clear that while we can think of human beings as determined by natural and social forces, we can also think of them as free, autonomous agents without contradiction. We choose which of these explanations we believe to be true, but we live "as if" we are free agents in the world. Faith, then, is not contrary to reason, but is the very foundation upon which reason operates. Faith, I learn from Kant, is a human universal; it is essential and not accidental to reason, and while not all objects of faith are rationally justified, some are, and against them the ignorance of the critic cannot stand.

	10 Jul 2023	107 JEDP, The Mount Ebal Defixio, and C. S. Lewis, Part 2	00:16:32
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. 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.

	02 May 2022	53 Are We Living in George Orwell’s 1984? (Part 1)	00:16:35
As we post this edition of the Christian Atheist, I am puzzling over an episode I am entitling "The Evident, evidence, and Faith." It is presenting me some thorny intellectual problems, and I needed some additional time to work them out. I thought it might be useful to illustrate what I believe to be the opposing side to the positive faith-based vision that structures Western liberal society, the Hegelian vision I have been attempting to explicate here at the Christian Atheist. George Orwell's dystopian novel, 1984, is, I think, the best example in literature of the logical outplaying of the post-Hegelian logic in practical politics. It is disheartening to compare today's Woke culture (and its ideological history/development) to Oceania's society. Join us, and let me know what you think of the parallels.

	22 Nov 2021	36 The Good Hegel (Part 2)	00:21:40
One of the major goals of this series is to acquaint my listeners with Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831) and his philosophy. We must know the enemy, as he is us. We have so deeply internalized Hegel's logic that we seem unable to see beyond it, and we are today reaping the consequences of confining ourselves within immanence. Once we see the cage, we can move beyond it. Hegel, however, is not all bad - not by a long shot. In fact, Hegel and even those who followed him have important perennial insights to offer us. His narrative dialectical logic gives us a profound tool to understand the Shadowlands in which we dwell. I used this tool to illuminate the conflict between atheists and theists in our last series of podcasts. In addition, Hegel himself (in opposition to those who followed him) restrained his reach to description, to explaining what is, to "carving nature at the joints." So while he arrogates to himself the perspective of God, he embraces the central value of creation. This Hegelian "humility," if we can call it that, prevents him from falling prey to many of the fatal errors of his progeny, which I will call the "prescriptive Hegelians." It was this humility that caused Hegel to deeply respect tradition, the wisdom of Conservatism, a wisdom that, unbalanced, can itself be dangerous.

	19 Jul 2022	60 The Evident, Evidence, and Faith, Part 3	00:16:42
We resume our series examining the concepts of the evident, evidence and faith. What is faith? From where does it originate? What does it mean to have evidence for what you believe? Is faith the foundation for knowledge, or knowledge the foundation for faith? Most atheists and theists have never thought systematically about these questions, but they are foundational for any rational conclusions we may draw about God's existence or non-existence. We begin our discussion by attempting to unravel the difficult issue of the evident, then we turn our attention to human rational freedom, the ideal and metaphysics. Join us as we try to make sense of where we all stand before the Looking glass. Last episode we examined freedom and metaphysics in relation to the evident, and this week we explore the chosen and fundamental metaphysical stances that determine our rational approach to our world.

	26 Jul 2021	19 Ethics (Part 2): On Value	00:13:49
Building on the picture of human rationality we presented in episode 18, we focus our attention on human rationality and Value, which is central to ethics. We argue that value is the very substance (not matter) of our experience of the world, that even perception is inextricably bound to value. As a consequence, we find that value exists in the same sort of paradoxical reality as the Incarnation itself - both natural and supernatural, human and divine. While we are responsible for recognizing and ordering our values into a hierarchy, we are also constrained by the reality of value itself. We are, that is, both free and determined.

	08 Jul 2022	No Compromise #2: The Dobbs Dissent	01:10:04
No Compromise is an experimental new feature on The Christian Atheist. If you are a regular listener, you know my voice, AND you know our story, or as much of it as we’ve told on the Christian Atheist. My wife Jenny was the “looking-glass” through which I returned to Christ. I tell the story in episodes 2-8, “The Machinery of the Looking-Glass.” I am so excited today to introduce to you my Jenny, my Looking-glass! Qu’ils sont beaux les pieds! (If you'd like to know the backstory on this, check out the Valentines Day edition of our Simple Gifts podcast!) On "No Compromise" we will discuss Christian Atheist themes – with each other, and, if you’ll join us, with you! Again, we concentrate our attention on the Dobbs Decision, the overturning of Roe v Wade after 49 years. #READTHEDECISION There is a great deal of accidental and deliberate misinformation and ignorance surrounding this decision and this topic. On our podcast reading of Justice Alito’s text, we make no editorial comments. We want EVERYONE - atheists and Christians, Left and Right, male and female – to read the decision with us. At least then we can base our discussions in reality and fact, not on hearsay and ideological distortion. On this edition, Jenny and I discuss the Dissent, authored by Justice Kagan. In a word, WE DISSENT!

	31 Jan 2022	40 The Ugly Hegel	00:17:35
Like episodes 38 and 39, episodes 40 and 41 form a unit, written together but separated because of length and complexity. Please listen to both as a unit. Having seen both the good and the bad of Hegel, it is time now for the ugly, those philosophers I have termed the "prescriptive Hegelians." Hegel's inversion of value, the rejection of transcendence and embrace of immanence, which is the foundational move of his philosophy, is also the mother of all prescriptions, laying the groundwork for all who follow. If there is no transcendent God (summum bonum), god does not go away; He changes form. Instead of being the Being we encounter, that we seek to understand and know, god becomes the value we choose to embrace. Man in rejecting God becomes god, just as Nietzsche predicted. https://www.youtube.com/c/TheChristianAtheist/featured https://www.facebook.com/JnJWiseWords https://wisewordsforyouroccasion.wordpress.com #thechristianatheist #drjohndwise #drjohnwise #johnwise #christian #atheist #christianity #atheism #jesus #jesuschrist #god #bible #oldtestament #newtestament #nocompromise #rationality #faith #philosophy #philosopher #culture #society #hegelism #hegel #reason #incarnation #history#psychology #theology #literature #humanities #hardquestions #postmodernism #woke #wisdom #ethics #science #poetry #hegelianism
	04 Aug 2022	No Compromise #6: The Magician’s Nephew, Part 3	00:57:18
No Compromise is a new feature designed to make the themes and ideas of The Christian Atheist more accessible through conversation. As usual, Jenny's instincts are dead on - my dry didacticism requires a more popular appeal. It is our prayer that you find our discussions on No Compromise enlightening, entertaining and, more importantly, valuable in your walk with our Great God! In this episode Jenny and I complete our discussion of C. S. Lewis's THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW, concentrating on the importance of the GARDEN motif. https://www.youtube.com/c/TheChristianAtheist/featured https://www.facebook.com/JnJWiseWords https://wisewordsforyouroccasion.wordpress.com #thechroniclesofnarnia #themagiciansnephew #narnia #aslan #digory #polly #uncleandrew #whitewitch #charn #queen #cabby #frankandhelen #christian #atheist #christianity #atheism #jesus #jesuschrist #god #bible #oldtestament #newtestament #nocompromise #rationality #faith #philosophy #philosopher #culture #society #hegelianism #hegel #reason #incarnation #history #psychology #theology #literature #humanities #magiciansnephew #chroniclesofnarnia #cslewis #lewis
	29 Dec 2022	No Compromise 27: Hegel Simplified: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Conclusion, OR ”PERELANDRA and the Prescriptive Hegelians”	01:06:33
Jenny and I complete our series on Hegel. In this episode we discuss the "Ugly Hegel," those Hegelians who followed the logic of Hegel's positions to the devastation of our Western world. About ten minutes into this episode we abandon the more didactic approach we've been following throughout this series and turn to C. S. Lewis' Perelandra to exemplify the problem. Lewis was a convert to Christianity from Idealism, and he was intimately acquainted with its pernicious thought-structures and seductive logic. The character of the great physicist, Weston, in the second book of the Space Trilogy, represents the pervasive influence of Hegelian doctrine within the academic world of his day. Join us as we see Hegelian thinking portrayed by one of the twentieth century's most incisive thinkers.

	25 Apr 2022	52 The Curse Tablet: Archaeology and Faith	00:20:50
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. 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. This, our 52nd episode, is in many ways an update to our discussion with the critic Max Doubt from episode 17 of the Christian Atheist. I would suggest that my listeners review that episode. I have listed a series of websites below for more information.

	29 Aug 2024	150 Journey to Revolution: The Content of a Scientific Revolution, Part 4	00:19:35
We begin a personal history of the revolution in my thinking from evolution to special creation spurred by the evidence of microbiology. Vital to this history is a text by geologist Allan G. Krill, FIXISTS VS. MOBILISTS IN THE GEOLOGY CONTEST OF THE CENTURY, 1844-1969. In this delightful book, Dr. Krill recounts the history of Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift, that was first ridiculed, then attacked, and finally accepted some 50 years after it was proposed. As plate tectonics, it now represents one of the foundational building blocks on which scientific geology is built. The book is available here: https://folk.ntnu.no/krill/fixists.pdf We also make reference to Dr. Eugene Koonin's book, The Logic of Chance: The Nature and Origin of Biological Evolution, which we covered extensively in our last episode. It is available here: http://www.evolocus.com/Textbooks/Koonin2011.pdf If you have never read Thomas Kuhn's THE STRUCTURE OF SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTIONS, you should. It is available here: https://www.lri.fr/~mbl/Stanford/CS477/papers/Kuhn-SSR-2ndEd.pdf As an atheist, I embraced evolutionary theory - its cosmogony and cosmology - hook, line and sinker. As a re-converted Christian, I began the Christian Atheist podcast as a theistic evolutionist. This year, after long and serious study, I abandon my faith in evolutionary biology with all the Hegelian ideological tendrils that have infected the rational scientific worldview over the past two centuries. Let the evidence speak, and let the people of God listen to what He says, and obey. We are now in the midst of a SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION. Jenny and I suspect that God is in the process of removing all excuse for not-believing from everyone on earth. CHOOSE YOU THIS DAY WHOM YOU WILL SERVE!

	07 Aug 2023	111 JEDP, The Mount Ebal Curse Tablet, and C. S. Lewis’s ”Modern Theology and Biblical Criticism,” Part 5	00:13:35
We begin to move toward the close of this series. 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." 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." I would suggest that our listeners review our original episode, The Christian Atheist #52: “The Curse Tablet: Archaeology and Faith.” Jenny and I discuss the curse tablet on No Compromise #47 & #48.

	24 Jan 2022	39 The Bad Hegel (Concluded)	00:22:45
In this podcast we conclude our analysis of what in Hegel himself set us up for the radical value-inversion that is causing the Western Implosion, and point to the progressive malignancy of the Progressive Hegelians, beginning in Marx. Bad Hegel is the value inversion of immanence denying transcendence, playing out in the following: 1) an emphasis on the collective over the individual; 2) a progressively radical relativism as Spirit, Reason, loses its universal status as center; 3) a resulting fragmentation of reason into competing factions; 4) an embrace of contradiction (alternatively stated, the denial of logic as limit to reason’s pretensions), that is, a progressive loss of rationality constrained and limited by the real; 5) a retrospective contempt for what is and has been; 6) a morality of ends justifying whatever means are effective in bringing them forth, and thereby 7) the death of Truth, morality and the Western God. We shall see each of these themes playing out over the remainder of our series. James Lindsay's New Discourses podcast is a rich resource for my listeners. I would in particular point you to: https://newdiscourses.com/2021/08/calamity-scientific-gnosticism/ https://newdiscourses.com/?s=Hegel Lindsay first alerted me to the connection of Hegelian thinking to the religious heresy of Gnosticism. New Discourses is also THE best resource on the practical outplay of Hegelian thinking in our present day reality. I cannot recommend it too highly.

	16 Nov 2021	35 Hegel and Western Implosion (Part 1)	00:16:34
In our series on atheism I discovered that credal atheists represent a very limited threat to theism, both because their intellectual position is weak, being ungrounded, and because what most Enlightenment atheists really want and how they act tends to betray their credal stance. This sort of atheist is only about 5% of the US population, though significantly more in Europe. What our two-track Hegelian definition of atheism also reveals, though, is that there is a far more robust and pernicious manifestation of the spirit of atheism, one that has been with us for a very long time, but has never reached such broad acceptance before in the Western world. Its modern incarnation, I claim, finds its origin in the philosophy of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. This is the introductory podcast in our next series devoted to what I am calling the "implosion of the West."

We continue to interact with the Critic over the nature of faith. Is faith in God different from believing in science? Are beliefs chosen, or are they imposed upon us?

	09 Aug 2021	21 On Ethics (Part 4): The ”Nature” of the Ought	00:17:44
In traditional ethical theory we have two broad systems of thought, deontology, which bases ethics in obligation to follow an ethical standard, and consequentialism, which tries to ground ethics in the value of the consequences of our actions. Ethics, I argue, is sui generis, unique. It is its own discrete field of value, standing outside the already unique human understanding of value discussed in a previous edition of the Christian Atheist. The ought of obligation is the coextensive demand of human reason to do the right thing. We find this obligation in the very heart of our own self-consciousness; we do not create it. This is THE basic fact of human morality. We can of course explain it away, at the level of metaphysics, as a human creation, but we do not know it as such. We know ethics as a self-evident truth, as an axiom of our rational nature - we should do what is right. When we ask why this is the case, the only answer we get at the ontological level is, because it is right. It seems, then, that human rationality points radically outside itself to a transcendent reality in two ways: 1) we are the only beings that can produce the UNnatural, the "artificial," and 2) we look constantly to a transcendent ideal in our hierarchical value systems. This is not meant as a new "proof" of God's existence, but it is a curious fact for which an account must rationally be offered, and one plausible, indeed eminently rational account, is to accept the possibility of such a transcendent reality.

	08 Dec 2022	No Compromise 24: Hegel Simplified: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Part4	00:29:12
Jenny and I discuss (and try to simplify) our series on Hegel. We complete our discussion of the "Good" Hegel in this episode. In our series on atheism I discovered that credal atheists represent a very limited threat to theism, both because their intellectual position is weak, being ungrounded, and because what most Enlightenment atheists really want and how they act tends to betray their credal stance. This sort of atheist is only about 5% of the US population, though significantly more in Europe. What our two-track Hegelian definition of atheism also reveals, though, is that there is a far more robust and pernicious manifestation of the spirit of atheism, one that has been with us for a very long time but has never reached such broad acceptance before in the Western world. Its modern incarnation, I claim, finds its origin in the philosophy of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. This is our discussion of the "Good" Hegel in our series The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Hegel, also called "The Implosion of the West."

	29 Jun 2023	No Compromise #51, T. S. Eliot’s ”The Hollow Men,” Part 1	00:31:10
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."

	23 Mar 2021	3 Lessons from the Classroom: The Machinery of the Looking-glass, Part 2	00:18:38
The odyssey of my return through the Looking-glass, to a recognition that faith in Christ is a fully rational response , if not the only one, to the evidence given us, was not simple, quick, or short. In this episode, I trace out the long-curve of a growing understanding, based on teaching Plato and Socrates in the university classroom over many years, that human reason must face its fundamental limitations with intellectual humility. The primary danger of the human intellect is arrogating to itself a knowledge which it cannot justly claim. This is the error of ideology that bathed the 20th century in blood and horror. Christ is the Way to peace and Truth.

	18 Sep 2024	151 Malachi Revisited, Part I	00:11:35
We will resume our series on THE CONTENT OF A SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION in future episodes, but we could not restrain our excitement over God's revelation of Himself in His word to us! This new series on Malachi will make most sense if you first listen to our initial Malachi series, episodes #136-146. Our study of the Book of Malachi continues to yield rich fruit for Jenny and I as we read God's word together, and in this episode, and probably two additional ones, we want to share with you another of those exciting moments of basking in the light of God's transcendent and multi-layered Truth, His brilliantly repeating patterns. We members of Christ's body live in an increasingly evil and secular culture, and we fear that the Church today is slowly but surely repeating the apostasy of Israel and Judah, listening to man's word over God's, compromising away the one eternal reality we have in our possession, God's word. Let us turn again to God's word, and trust that God alone speaks truth. With our Transcendent GOD – Being, Truth and Value – there can be NO COMPROMISE Listen to the complete book of Malachi read without commentary here ... https://youtu.be/aasq_o1JNyE If you enjoy our content, consider donating through PayPal via https://ko-fi.com/thechristianatheist Take a moment to enjoy our weekly Photos of the Day videos here - short slideshows with relaxing music ...https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_9GPi4HTqoZ8xFgTldbBaA https://www.youtube.com/c/TheChristianAtheist/featured https://www.facebook.com/JnJWiseWords https://wisewordsforyouroccasion.wordpress.com #thechristianatheist #drjohndwise #drjohnwise #johnwise #christian #atheist #christianity #atheism #jesus #jesuschrist #god #bible #oldtestament #newtestament #nocompromise #rationality #faith #philosophy #philosopher #culture #society #hegelism #hegelianism #hegel #reason #incarnation #history#psychology #theology #literature #humanities #hardquestions #postmodernism #woke #wisdom #ethics #science #poetry #paradox #oxymoron
	04 Oct 2021	29 What IS an Atheist? (Part 2)	00:24:12
The second definition for atheism that we discussed last episode, that atheism is the claim that we do not have sufficient reason or evidence to believe in God, is meant to sidestep the problems we highlighted in the first definition for atheism, the assertion that God does not exist, allowing the atheist to neither assert the non-existence of God (which requires as Hitchens said, an “impossible” burden of proof), nor to acknowledge that atheism is itself a belief, a faith stance. In this episode we argue that the atheist is logically frustrated in BOTH these expectations, that atheism is necessarily a faith-stance, and that if it doesn't assert God's non-existence it isn't atheism at all, but agnosticism. Also, the question of God's existence is unlike other questions, as it is, indeed, as the atheist asserts, not provable from any perspective other than God's; the finite cannot contain or grasp the infinite. This question also stands at the highest level of explanatory choice. We choose to believe or not to believe in God, and our choice will necessarily affect all our other explanatory choices. For instance, start with the claim that God does not exist, and by logical extension there can be no evidence for God, just as the atheist asserts.

	09 May 2022	54 Are We Living in George Orwell’s 1984? (Part 2)	00:12:40
As we worked through Chapter 9 of part 2 of George Orwell's 1984 it was clear that we had too much material to complete the discussion we began last week in a single episode. You can listen to the whole novel on our Simple Gifts Podcast, uninterrupted with my commentary. This episode and the two following were drafted as a unit, but had to be divided into manageable portions; these ideas should be presented and digested together, as they form a single narrative This week we begin with the theme that structures the remainder of these episodes. As Jenny and I walk our neighborhood each week, we see sign after sign proclaiming "Science is Real." It is meant as a provocation, but properly understood it is emblematic of what Orwell calls DOUBLESPEAK. As we mentioned last week, these episodes are meant to introduce an episode (or series of episodes) of the Christian Atheist we are entitling "The Evident, Evidence, and Faith." I thought it might be useful to illustrate what I believe to be the opposing side to the positive faith-based vision that structures Western liberal society - the Hegelian vision I have been attempting to explicate here at the Christian Atheist for our entire existence, which I have been trying to understand all my life. George Orwell's dystopian novel, 1984, is, I think, the best example in literature of the logical outplaying of the post-Hegelian logic in practical politics. It is disheartening to compare today's Woke culture (and its ideological history/development) to Orwell's Oceania. Join us, and let me know what you think of the parallels.

	18 Sep 2023	117 JEDP, The Mount Ebal Curse Tablet, and C. S. Lewis, Conclusion	00:31:20
THE CONCLUSION OF OUR SERIES AT LAST. We apologize for the length, but we didn't want to divide this concluding episode in two. Satell, Greg. “Why the Experts Always Seem to Get it Wrong,” Forbes, 2014. Retrieved from https://www.forbes.com/sites/gregsatell/2014/02/19/why-experts-always-seem-to-get-it-wrong/?sh=163664d73a36 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." 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." I would suggest that our listeners review our original episode, The Christian Atheist #52: “The Curse Tablet: Archaeology and Faith.” Jenny and I discuss the curse tablet on No Compromise #47 & #48.

They are, however, very important in the ongoing development of our argument. Please consider them a single episode conveniently divided into bite-sized portions. What is faith? From where does it originate? What does it mean to have evidence for what you believe? Is faith the foundation for knowledge, or knowledge the foundation for faith? Most atheists and theists have never thought systematically about these questions, but they are foundational for any rational conclusions we may draw about God's existence or non-existence. We begin our discussion by unraveling the difficult issue of the evident. Join us as we try to make sense of where we all stand before the Looking glass. Last episode we presented the foundational concept of the evident. This episode we examine freedom and metaphysics in relation to the evident.

	07 Sep 2022	No Compromise #10: The Horse and His Boy	00:57:44
In this episode Jenny and I discuss C. S. Lewis's THE HORSE AND HIS BOY, discovering that it is the most personal account of finding Christ in the Chronicles of Narnia. Shasta, the main character, mirrors Lewis's own conversion, and the Christian Atheist's return to Christ from atheism, showing how encountering God happens in our everyday experience. No Compromise is designed to make the themes and ideas of The Christian Atheist more accessible through conversation. As usual, Jenny's instincts are dead on - my dry didacticism requires a more popular appeal. It is our prayer that you find our discussions on No Compromise enlightening, entertaining and, more importantly, valuable in your walk with our Great God!

	20 Sep 2021	27 The Strongest of All Arguments for Atheism	00:16:12
In Surprised by Joy, C. S. Lewis quotes Lucretius: Had God designed the world, it would not be A world so frail and faulty as we see. These lines, Lewis says, present the strongest of all arguments for atheism. I agree, and I suggest that broadly construed they encompass the spectrum of arguments against divine authorship. I challenge this argument on the basis of the value necessary in applying it. The Western conception of God has struggled mightily, honestly with the Problem of Evil, and I suggest that atheism has an analogous Problem of Good (or Value).

	14 Mar 2022	46 The Historicity of Jesus	00:15:54
One of my favorite conversations with a Facebook atheist was over the historicity of Jesus. I was stunned when a critic responded to me that "Jesus and his disciples ... never existed." Even as an atheist it never occurred to me to deny that Jesus was an historical person. I questioned the mythology that I felt had grown about him, the supernatural stuff, but his historical existence seemed to me to be beyond serious question. My astonishment at the claim is evident in my responses. I hope that you find this exchange valuable. BTW ... this particular critic was a decent guy. We ended on good terms, and I actually liked him as a human being. I haven't had any recent contact, but I wish him well, and he is in my prayers when God brings him to mind.

	09 Jan 2023	82 ”The Seeing Eye” or ”The Ever-Deepening Mystery”	00:13:32
We examine Lewis's essay, originally entitled "Onward Christian Spacemen" by his publisher, but renamed by Walter Hooper, "The Seeing Eye." In our series, "The Evident, Evidence and Faith," we also addressed the issue of why some find God everywhere, and some find Him nowhere, why for some everything is evidence for His existence, and for some there is no evidence. The search for Reality Truth and Beauty either draws us ever deeper into the glorious Mystery, or claims to dissipate it in the pretense of knowledge. The first attitude is that of Socrates and Western theism, the latter that of gnostic scientism and atheism, which pervades our socio-cultural world today. 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 "The Poison of Subjectivism." Please listen beforehand to our Simple Gifts reading of it.

	05 Nov 2024	153 William Lane Craig moving, but in the Wrong Direction, Part 1	00:18:05
PART 1 Dr. Sean McDowell’s YouTube interview of William Lane Craig (October 18th) followed ours on October 15th. I was completely unaware of what Dr. Craig has been doing since I first became of aware of him in his 2011 debate with New Atheist Christopher Hitchens. The discussion on the historicity of Adam stunned and deeply disappointed us. Here is our response. It was a long time coming, and was perhaps the most difficult episode of the Christian Atheist we have ever done. It is no fun criticizing another Christian, especially one who has done so much under Christ's banner. The episode is very long. If you'd like to listen to the whole thing without interruptions, it is posted on YouTube. We post it here in parts to allow breathers in between. Let us turn again to God's word, and trust that God alone speaks truth.

	26 Apr 2021	6 Lessons from Jordan Peterson, The Machinery of the Looking-glass, Part 5	00:21:04
The Canadian psychologist, Jordan Peterson, came onto the scene at precisely the right moment in my odyssey from atheism to Christ. He reminded me of the profundity of the Biblical narrative, taking seriously from a psychological and academic perspective a text I had dismissed from my consideration years ago. It was his practical insights and his uncompromising stand for TRUTH above all, however, that captured and held my attention, that helped pave my path toward the Looking-glass.

	10 May 2021	8 The Denouement: The Machinery of the Looking-Glass, Part 7	00:26:16
As my life unraveled, the intellectual noose tightened. Eventually, as C. S. Lewis said about his own conversion, I had to acknowledge that "God is God." My wife Jenny became the REAL incarnate ideal that reflected my own intellectual dishonesty as well as the larger reality of the Incarnation of God in Christ. Reason is not opposed to faith, but finds its foundation therein. Jesus Christ is the fusion of Reason - Logos, literally both "word" and "reason" in Greek - and Faith, the divine and the human: The Incarnation.

	01 Jul 2022	No Compromise #1: The Dobbs Decision	00:34:46
No Compromise is an experimental new feature on The Christian Atheist. If you are a regular listener, you know my voice, AND you know our story, or as much of it as we’ve told on the Christian Atheist. My wife Jenny was the “looking-glass” through which I returned to Christ. I tell the story in episodes 2-8, “The Machinery of the Looking-Glass.” I am so excited today to introduce to you my Jenny, my Looking-glass! Qu’ils sont beaux les pieds! (If you'd like to know the backstory on this, check out the Valentines Day edition of our Simple Gifts podcast!) On No Compromise we will discuss Christian Atheist themes – with each other, and, if you’ll join us, with you! The hot topic this week is, of course, the Dobbs decision, the overturning of Roe v Wade after 49 years. We took it upon ourselves to read the decision on The Christian Atheist for our listeners, and we posted it on YouTube and here on the Christian Atheist. We are hoping that you will help us spread the word. #READTHEDECISION There is a great deal of accidental and deliberate misinformation and ignorance surrounding this decision and this topic. On our podcast reading of Justice Alito’s text, we make no editorial comments. We want EVERYONE - atheists and Christians, Left and Right, male and female – to read the decision with us. At least then we can base our discussions in reality and fact, not on hearsay and ideological distortion.

	15 Dec 2022	No Compromise 25: Hegel Simplified: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Part 5	00:50:29
Jenny and I discuss (and try to simplify) our series on Hegel. In this episode we discuss the "Bad Hegel," which is vital to understanding Hegel's hidden and pernicious influence in today's world. This is the critical episode in our simplifying Hegel series. In our series on atheism I discovered that credal atheists represent a very limited threat to theism, both because their intellectual position is weak, being ungrounded, and because what most Enlightenment atheists really want and how they act tends to betray their credal stance. This sort of atheist is only about 5% of the US population, though significantly more in Europe. What our two-track Hegelian definition of atheism also reveals, though, is that there is a far more robust and pernicious manifestation of the spirit of atheism, one that has been with us for a very long time but has never reached such broad acceptance before in the Western world. Its modern incarnation, I claim, finds its origin in the philosophy of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. This is probably the most important explanatory episode in our series The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Hegel, also called "The Implosion of the West."

	03 May 2021	7 The Looking-glass: The Machinery of the Looking-glass, Part 6	00:15:35
My wife, Jenny, became my portal back to Christ, an incarnation of the reality of God in human form. One of the constant refrains of my renewed Christian faith is the mirror of the large structures of creation in the smaller. The Incarnation of God in man as the Redeemer is seen at smaller scale in God's image in man, in the relationship of Church to Christ, of man to woman, of man to creation, etc. I see God through Jenny, and His perfection is mirrored in her perfection for me, and it was that mirror that was decisive in my step back through the Looking-glass.

	20 Oct 2022	No Compromise #17: The Haidt Effect, Part 2	00:25:28
Jenny and I continue to discuss a phenomenon we've observed on the contemporary scene in which committed members of the political left find an issue that has "crossed the line" for them, and rebel from the proposed orthodoxy, usually seeing only this issue as problematic, or as having a particular origin in recent times that is wrong and must be addressed, but missing the larger sense in which these problems are the natural logical outplay of the logic of the left, the ideology of Hegelianism/Marxism/Critical Theory/Wokism. "here's a question: does big picture, abstract thinking cause liberals to be less happy because they are removing themselves from the embodied here and now? After all, the ability to live in the moment and appreciate our lives as they exist does seem to be a key ingredient in day-to-day contentment. Or is it conservatives' concern with lasting marriage, strong family cohesiveness, and day-to-day sociality that tips the scales toward greater daily contentment and happiness?"

	16 May 2022	55 Are We Living in George Orwell’s 1984? (Part 3)	00:16:23
We continue to address the question, Are we living in George Orwell's 1984? You can listen to the whole novel on our Simple Gifts Podcast. The preceding episode and the following one were drafted as a unit with this one. They should be digested together, as they form a single narrative. This week we continue our analysis of doublethink. As Jenny and I walk our neighborhood each week, we see sign after sign proclaiming "Science is Real." This is meant as a provocation, as a supercilious critique, but properly understood it is DOUBLETHINK, as Wokism requires the denial of science while at the same time criticizing its opponents as "science deniers." This fundamental ability to hold and assert contradictory conceptions AS MEANS TO AN END is really nothing more than the will to lie, to deny what we know to be true, and to deny it so vehemently that we believe we are not denying it. It is the rational capacity to choose irrationality in order to achieve a desired end. These episodes are introducing an episode (or series of episodes) of the Christian Atheist entitled, "The Evident, Evidence, and Faith." It is useful to illustrate the vision opposing the structures of Western liberal society that I am trying to explicate. This opposition to the West is what I have been attempting to explain here at the Christian Atheist for our entire existence, which I have been trying to understand all my life. It is no mistake that the Hegelians, Marxists, neo-Marxists, Critical theorists, Postmoderns and Wokists hate this Western reality BECAUSE IT STANDS IN THE WAY OF THEIR ENDS. George Orwell's dystopian novel, 1984, is, I think, the best example in literature of the logical outplaying of the post-Hegelian logic in practical politics. It is disheartening to compare today's Woke culture (and its ideological history/development) to Orwell's Oceania. Join us, and let me know what you think of the parallels.

	23 Oct 2023	122 George MacDonald’s ”Kingship” sermon	00:23:07
Our new book, Paradise Lost: The Machinery of Evil, references a sermon by the man C. S. Lewis called his "master," George MacDonald, and from which Lewis quoted as the epigraph of the fourteenth chapter of his autobiography, Surprised by Joy. In today's Christian Atheist, I read that sermon in its entirety. Its insights are, truly, legendary. Listen to the context of the phrase, "the one principle of hell is 'I am my own.'"
	22 Feb 2022	43 Why do ”THEY ALWAYS BLAME AMERICA FIRST”?	00:15:06
I was puzzled in my early school life by a question whose answer I discovered in graduate school. Why do intellectuals in the West default to blaming our culture for all the world's ills? In many ways it was this question that drove me to the study of philosophy, to abandoning my Christian faith. As I unraveled an answer in graduate school and academic life, I also found my way back to Christ, or perhaps He was always leading me onward and upward as I seriously sought Truth.

	01 Oct 2024	152 Malachi Revisited, Part 2	00:21:55
We will resume our series on THE CONTENT OF A SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION in future episodes, but we could not restrain our excitement over God's revelation of Himself in His word to us! This new series on Malachi will make most sense if you first listen to our initial Malachi series, episodes #136-146. Our study of the Book of Malachi continues to yield rich fruit for Jenny and I as we read God's word together, and in this episode, and probably two additional ones, we want to share with you another of those exciting moments of basking in the light of God's transcendent and multi-layered Truth, His brilliantly repeating patterns. We members of Christ's body live in an increasingly evil and secular culture, and we fear that the Church today is slowly but surely repeating the apostasy of Israel and Judah, listening to man's word over God's, compromising away the one eternal reality we have in our possession, God's word. Let us turn again to God's word, and trust that God alone speaks truth.

Retrieved from https://www.forbes.com/sites/gregsatell/2014/02/19/why-experts-always-seem-to-get-it-wrong/?sh=163664d73a36 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." 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." I would suggest that our listeners review our original episode, The Christian Atheist #52: “The Curse Tablet: Archaeology and Faith.” Jenny and I discuss the curse tablet on No Compromise #47 & #48.

	30 Jan 2023	85 ”The Funeral of a Great Myth,” or Evolution and Hegelian Optimism	00:15:11
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.
