Modern apologetics would presume to be able to prove God through the traditional arguments for God. Paul proposes holistic witness as an alternative.

How we define evil will be determinative of how we understand God. We know God not on the basis of a law or tradition as with the Friends of Job but through Christ. As we confront and challenge evil, that is precisely (in the thinking of Bonhoeffer) where God meets us.

Paul and Jonathan Totty talk about Kierkegaard’s pseudonym Johannes Climacus, and how he travels a road very similar to Zizek and Lacan. The difference of course is that Kierkegaard moves beyond Climacus to a full blown Christianity. The question is if his criticism of Hegelian Christians as falling short applies to the contemporary scence.

What kind of dialogue does the Gospel of peace have with the state, especially in as dark a political time as the one we find ourselves in? That of obedient supporters of its agendas or of withdrawn resignation to its violence? Jason and Paul discuss the New Testament’s witness (from the Gospels and the epistles) of the Church as a radical alternative Kingdom to Caesar’s, a Kingdom whose prophetic words and life are an engaged critique of the powers of this dark world.

Subordination is significantly different from unconditional obedience. Was Christ “obedient” to Rome? He was killed by Rome. Romans 13 is not about “blind obedience to the state.” If that was the case, the Christians would all have been worshiping Caesar. Paul is rejecting any notion of violent revolution. Paul has no illusions about Rome being a servant of God, though he does use corrupt nations for his purposes as they remain under his judgment.
