Tons of people that are 'religious' would be shocked if they just took a religion 101 class. The divide between the academic study of religion is so huge that the experience of many students in their first religion class is disorientating. I don't think this is because religion professors hate religion and want to ruin people of faith's confidence. Largely it is evidence of just how poor our religious communities educate their members. In this episode I am joined by Greg Horton, ex-pastor and undergrad religion professor in Oklahoma to look of a list of 10 Not-So-Shocking Things You Learn in Religion 101. Well we get through half of it in this episode. Next week we will finish Greg Horton was one of the inspirations behind starting the podcast.

Callid had the opportunity to sit down and talk with constructive theologian Shelly Rambo. In their conversation they walked through some of the major points of her book Spirit and Trauma. In the course of the recording they talked about Derrida, the psychology of trauma, non-linear time, and zombies. Good stuff. She makes clear that her work is not a self-help project, but a reconsideration of our insistence on the climax of Christian faith being the resurrection. She does not deny the resurrection at all, but she asks why we are so ready to skip over Holy Saturday and the time when Jesus was dead. This is a book not just for people who have been directly challenged by traumatic events, but for anyone who wants theology to more holistically address human experience.
