Vanishing Act of God: A 5 Week On-line Course on The Divine Magician

My latest book, The Divine Magician, represents the culmination of a project I’ve been developing and deepening since How (Not) to Speak of God. By offering my clearest expression of the theory and practice of pyrotheology, the book aims at offering a radical vision of faith that short-circuits the path religion, and opens up a radical reading of faith that echoes what Bonhoeffer called “Religionless Christianity.”

The approach is one that subverts the distinctions between sacred and secular, belief and non-belief, revealing faith as type of incendiary counter-cultural existence foreclosed by the dominant power regimes at work today.

In this five week course we’ll carefully work through the text, exploring the rich constellation of theories and thinkers that inform it and discussing its practical application. Each 90 minute session will involve some introductory remarks, a talk, and a Q&A.

This should be of interest to students of religion, as well as practitioners and those who are interested in applying my work to their lives.

Each week you’ll be sent a private link to the on-line session. Following each class the video will be made available for private download (in case you aren’t able to join on the night). I’ll also provide everyone with some supplemental material (videos, articles and books).

Cost: $25

Dates: 11th Nov, 18th Nov, 25th Nov, 2nd Dec, 9th Dec
