Here is the sermon Sarah recently gave to our local church congregation. While not explicitly vegan, hopefully it meets the congregation where they are and lays a biblical foundation for the vegan ethic. What are your thoughts? We also discuss the direction of our next several episodes which will focus on animal spirituality, and an animal-centric hermeneutic.

A breakdown of millennialism and how it affects how we treat the world. We discuss Moltmann’s unique eschatology which doesn’t fit neatly into a-, pre-, or post- millennial framework.

A lively discussion of Liberation Theology and Moltmann’s interaction with Liberation theologians. Liberation Theology’s main concern of how best to stand with the oppressed is every bit as relevant today.

Metz, Schillebeeckx and Pannenberg were Moltmann's contemporaries who each developed their own theologies of hope. However, their magisterial Christianity hamstrung their theologies while Moltmann’s radical protestantism freed him to construct a more cohesive and transformational theology of hope.

A look at gnosticism and platonism and their influence on Christian theology.

In this episode we continue discussing Marcello Newall’s dissertation: Repairing the World: tikkun olam and Jurgen Moltmann’s Theology of Hope focusing on Moltman’s rediscovery of tikkun olam.
