A Forty Journey Into the Cloud of Unknowing (Individual)

Originally developed as a forty day Lenten practice, this course was so successful that I’m releasing it as a practice people can engage in throughout the year. While individuals can do this course, the course will be particularly powerful if it is engaged in by groups.

If you sign up you’ll get five weeks worth of material. You’ll receive a carefully curated mix of articles, podcasts, book excerpts and videos designed to take you on a journey into the type of experience so powerfully captured in Christ’s cry, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me.”

Over the five weeks the daily reflections will introduce you to many of the greatest critiques of religion, crafted by some of the most insightful thinkers our world has produced.

In addition to all the material, you will get instructions for how to do the course and five talks by me provide context for everything you’ll encounter (a talk for the start of each week). These talks are available in both video and audio-only formats.

So why would you ever want to do this?

Perhaps you’ve always been interested in engaging with some of the best critiques of religion. Or maybe you’re a believer who suspects that the material might not be as anti-faith as some say. Or it could be that you just want some good old-fashioned intellectual stimulation.

On top of the more garden variety atheism well known today, we’ll explore why many mystics, theologians and philosophers have claimed that atheism is closer to the truth of faith than theism – an idea that has annoyed and confused people on both sides of the theist/atheist divide.

The course is split into two sections. The first explores philosophical atheism, while the second delves into theological atheism.
