Summary

This episode was taken from a Facebook live book-release soirée with Donna Bowman and Ryan Newsome to celebrate the release of The Homebrewed Christianity Guide To Being Human. Donna, Ryan, and Tripp talk about all things human. They discuss anthropology as it relates to gender, science, and death, the tension between a reductive materialism and dualism, the drive for religious people to have an ethical prescription for each situation, the relationship of humans to authority - whether a creator, or institution, or system, Buber and Kierkegaard, the different biblical accounts of what it means to be a human, the problematic relationships that people have with the church because of our inherited and unquestioned anthropology. what does it means to think theologically about what it means to be human? what part of the church's previous conversations about anthropology we need to leave behind? what is our purpose and function - what are we here for? and how does Jesus figure in to what it means to be human? Plus, Donna gives some suggestions for films that provoke questions about what it means to be human. And make sure to check out Tripp's interview with Donna about pussy hats and #MAGA hats...

You are listening to the homebrewed Christianity podcast.

Now, I told Tripp he's not allowed to do this intro because this episode is already two hours long.

1:47.6

And there's no reason for him to add another 10 or 15 minutes of him rambling in an intro about this and that and Lakers and whatever.

1:48.0

I don't know.

1:58.8

So I told him I could get everything he needed to say done in way less time so that everyone could get right into the interview with Donna Bowman and Ryan Newsom.

This was actually a Facebook live video. We did a couple weeks ago to celebrate Donna's new book, The Homebrew Guide to Being Human, being the best bag of bones you can be, which you can purchase now, and you definitely should. And you'll hear why in this interview, because it's an excellent interview, and it's a great book, and I know you'll enjoy it. Speaking of which, a lot of the other homebrewed books are on sale. The e-books are on sale. If you go to Amazon, you can get them for two or three bucks, I think. So make sure to do that. The other thing, really important thing, the Road to Edmund, the movie that Tripp and I made. That's right. We made a movie. It's going to be released soon. We're going to have a couple pre-release screenings, Oklahoma City on June 1st,

Denver, Colorado on June 29th. The premiere in Los Angeles is going to be on July 29th.

And the other premiere will be on August 17th in Asheville, North Carolina, which reminds me of beer camp, which will also be in Asheville, North Carolina.
