Liars and Heretics

著者: Dan Gilbert
  • サマリー

  • Welcome to "Liars and Heretics" where we take a light-hearted but in depth exploration into the complexities of the Christian faith.


    This podcast draws inspiration from two profound quotes:

    “Anyone who tries to describe the ineffable Light in language is truly a liar; not because he hates the truth, but because of the inadequacy of his description.” - Gregory of Nyssa

    and

    “The world is kept alive only by heretics: the heretic Christ, the heretic Copernicus, the heretic Tolstoy. Our symbol of faith is heresy.” - Yevgeny Zamyatin


    These quotes encapsulate themes central to my recent writings, which I'm excited to share with you here, soundtracked by original music. Expect to hear excerpts from my books, presented in serialized form, exploring diverse topics in what I hope is a thoughtful and interesting way, ranging from God creating dinosaurs to be giant rolling pins, divine visions of the singer, Jon Bon Jovi, what the Bible actually says about things like Hell, sexuality and the devil, and whether the singer Belinda Carlisle is one of the most influential theologians of our time!


    .Join me as we delve into these topics, aiming to provoke thought, inspire curiosity, and perhaps have a few laughs along the way.

    Why are Christians so obsessed with sex? What are some of the mad teachings that the Church tells people? And how should we actually approach the erotic?

  • Unanswerable – Hell
    2024/10/18

    Is the evangelical concept of Hell biblically accurate and if not, how have we come to have that understanding? And if the common view of Hell is unbiblical, then what the hell is Hell?

    In this episode I look at everyone’s favourite subject, and exegete the Hell out of it.

    The book is available to buy online as an eBook and paperback at the following links:

  • Unanswerable – Heaven
    2024/09/20

    Is the idea of heaven all that it lives up to be, or could the reality of it actually be worse than Hell? What will Heaven be like and what can we learn from the 80s pop star Belinda Carlisle?

    In this episode I look at heaven and investigate the different understandings we have of it, and what it will mean for us.
