Shownotes

Dr Tom Oord joins the show again to discuss with Joshua Noel and TJ (Tiberius Juan) Blackwell ideas around the use of mystery language in the Church today. Joshua and Dr Oord have slightly different perspectives on how useful this language can be in modern contexts.

.

What is the meaning of divine mystery? What is the greatest mystery in the Catholic Church? What is biblical meaning of mystery? What is the mystery of divine favor? What is the spiritual meaning of mystery? What does the Bible say about Christian mysticism? How can God be known with certainty? Are faith and certainty the same? What is the Theopoetic approach?

.

In this episode, we will:

  • Debate the usefulness of mystery language
  • Deconstruct spiritual notions of certainty
  • Explore the merits of deconstruction and reconstruction
  • Discuss how the religious institutions can wall us off from better questions

.
