The dead have a disturbing habit of returning to us in spectral form, disturbing the everyday flow of our lives, and disrupting our best-laid plans. Indeed, within the secular world, the God proclaimed dead by Nietzsche continues to haunt us in strange ways. A fact that Nietzsche described as the enduring shadow of God.
In short, while we might be done with the fundamentalist God, this God may not be done with us. In this seminar, Peter will explore these ideas and outline an insurrectionary vision of Christianity that aims squarely at exorcising this spectral figure.
Contrary to what we witness in the actual existing church, Peter will argue that the atheism of today’s religious despisers isn’t atheistic enough, and that the scandalous message of the Gospel is a freedom from the spell of fundamentalism in all its sacred and secular manifestations.
There will be a talk, followed by an interview and Q&A session. Then we’ll retire to a local pub for some informal conversation.
