Summary

Santa & Jesus aren't white, Christmas isn't about Capitalism, the Pope isn't a Marxist leftist, the Christian Calendar is a hardcore form of resistance, and you find out that Roger Olson's own student turned Tripp into a Process theologian. That is just a bit of what is in store for you in this special Christmas episode! Tripp planned on just getting a TNT segment out of his chat with Adam... then they just kept talking... and it turned in to a Christmas present for all the Deacons. Dr. Adam English, author of The Saint Who Would be Clause and Remixing Theology, is professor of Religion and Philosophy at Campbell University. He has been on the podcast before discussing St. Nick & giving us a little taste of Post-Liberal\Conservative theology.
