"The God attacked by the new atheists is an often anthropomorphic, complicated, malevolent designer of a mechanical universe, whose existence is dubious at best."
Dubious is an understatement, but this is the God on which modern Christianity seems to be based. Even the "nice" forms of Christianity.
I’m skeptical of reading the David Hart book. I imagine the real tradition of Christians is not to have an omnipresent everything deity, but rather to run to an increasingly more vague and metaphorical deity whenever presented with significant flaws in it’s logic. I’ll check it out though.
"Master and His Emissary" is unfalsifiable pseudoscience. I would recommend checking out the Decoding The Gurus podcast where they did a thorough breakdown of Iain McGilchrist's podcast episode with Alex.
David Bentley Hart on within reason when?? In all seriousness great list Alex 🫡
David Bentley Hart on Within Reason would be incredible.
Great list, mate. I recommend Mortal Questions to a lot of people.
It would be cool if you could get David Bentley Hart on a video!
Master and his emissary is a must read! Great list
enjoyed this one is well. Include that work in a reference in my own writing!
it should be referenced in everything, man!
The people I severely wish Alex would interview on his podcast: David Bentley Hart, Tim Mackie of the Bible Project, Gary Habermas, and N. T. Wright
Master and His Emissary has changed my life. Absolutely vital information and brilliantly described by McGilchrist.
Enjoyed it as well!
Ever read any Alan Watts?
Loved Dale Allison’s book. Absolutely incredible.
Had me at book 1. Thanks. Alain is a great mind. Appreciated for the list Alex 😘.

Dale Allison is a good choice. Excellent scholar.
