The Christ Centred Cosmic Civilisation
Christ is the One in Whom in all things consist and humanity is not the measure of all things. If a defining characteristic of the modern world is disorder then the most fundamental act of resistance is to discover and life according to the deep, divine order of the heavens and the earth.
In this podcast we want to look at the big model of the universe that the Bible and Christian history provides.
It is a mind and heart expanding vision of reality.
It is not confined to the limits of our bodily senses - but tries to embrace levels fo reality that are not normally accessible or tangible to our exiled life on earth.
We live on this side of the cosmic curtain - and therefore the highest and greatest dimensions of reality are hidden to us… yet these dimensions exist and are the most fundamental framework for the whole of the heavens and the earth.
Throughout this series we want to pick away at all the threads of reality to see how they all join together - how they all find common meaning and reason in the great divine logic - the One who is the Logos, the LORD Jesus Christ - the greatest that both heaven and earth has to offer.
Colossians 1:15-23

Episode 142 - Christus Victor And The Tyrants
The cross can look like many things depending on where you stand, and we’re trying to learn how to read its direction without shrinking the Bible’s own images. We take up Gustav Aulén’s Christus Victor vision of atonement, where Christ ...
Episode 141 - What If Atonement Is A Battle Before It Is A Transaction
The cross can feel like a puzzle because we keep demanding one neat explanation, then treating every other biblical theme as a distraction. We take a different route by turning to the second major “direction” of Jesus’ death: how it fac...
Episode 140 - The Cross Shows Love Only If It Rescues Us
Someone bleeding and dying does not automatically communicate love. That single objection forces a deeper question many Christians assume is settled: how does the cross actually show the love of God, and what must be true for “Jesus died for us...

I've really enjoyed you Narnia series. I love the books and re read them last summer. Did you skip the Magician's nephew? Sorry couldn't find it in the episodes but I've probably missed it! Which one was it?
