At 1.14 🙂 I can appreciate the Tanzanian perspective of the prodigal son - I guess this is where the invite to improvise makes perfect sense.

I'm a year behind the curve in joining this debate. Excited by the lecture. I listened to it twice. And am not done yet. I was surprised by another maker of comments..
heavily hinting that you needed to be 'unmasked' by the theologians questions. Not true, you are an authentic thinker, through and through, in my opinion.

I am not a Biblical Christian but I found this lecture to be eye opening and excellent all around.

Second comment. One of my academic studies was geography. Loved it, but got no pleasure from geology. Two Greek words. Similarly, I found theology to be death-dealing. Analysing God to death. Whereas the writings of Scriptures I find to be creative life. Does the lesser known Greek word theography include Ta Biblia?

She did a very nice presentation. Sadly, when he asked just a couple questions, he exposed her.

I a way, true. What's more troubling is that prof. Gooder seems to be locked in a highly subjective, individualistic spirituality. I didn't hear anything about the Church, or the people of God, for whom and by whom the Scripture was written. Communal character of the Bible is nowhere to be seen, I suppose because it would drive her off her all-inclusive modern individualistic reading.
