ORDINARY LIFE - Thoughts and Ideas to Help You Live a Happier Life

Summary of Ordinary Life for July 9, 2023
* * *
Dear Ones -
The talk I offered in Ordinary Life this week is divided into two large parts.
The first part is more like a graduate level seminar in the history of recent biblical and theological scholarship that set the stage for the current era of “theological deconstruction” we are in. I mention a lot of scholars, mostly German, and a lot of books. It is not necessary or expected that you read them but I do believe this information needs to be a general part of your “religious literacy” education.
The second part enters territory that begins to explore how we can practice prayer or “the presence of God” in a time when we have moved beyond theism. The title I gave the talk is -
What Good is Prayer If There is No God “Up There”?
That’s a brief summary of this week’s time in Ordinary Life.
The audio version of the talk has some significant differences from the text I spoke from. You can find the text of the talk, the presentation slides and the audio version of the talk using the links below.
Our podcast, “In Between,” can be accessed through the Ordinary Life web site.
