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 139 - Schleiermacher And The Cross
Schleiermacher can make the cross sound obvious, humane, and even beautiful and that’s exactly why we take him so seriously. We trace how this towering modern Protestant thinker tries to keep Christianity credible after the Enlightenment by reb...
Episode 138 - What If Atonement Must Change God Too
The cross gets smaller the moment we force it into one tidy explanation. I take up J I Packer’s classic lecture “What Did The Cross Achieve?” and use it as a set of navigational tools for anyone trying to make sense of atonement, substitution, ...
Episode 137 - Return To Sender With Your Sin
Anger at evil is easy to mock until you are the one who has to carry the damage. We start with a simple, uncomfortable observation: our outrage is selective. Some crimes barely register when they feel distant, yet the same kind of wrong can bre...

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?
