Episode 102: Steve Overman on Traditions and Dead Theologians
Today I want to ask a question. Do dead theologians matter today? We hear about being the church of now and being cutting edge, and a lot of stuff today that frankly, overtime makes me wonder, should we listen to our ancestors? I love this quote from G.K. Chesterton. “Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is a democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who nearly happen to be walking about.” Today we’re going to explore why dead theologians matter. We’re going to do a deep dive into one of my favorites, Maximus the Confessor. And I could think of no one better to talk about than my good friend Steve Overman from Eugene Faith Center.  Here are Steve's articles for download: Materiality, Beauty, and Space: The Eastern Traditions as a Ressourcement for Pentecostal Worship and the Arts Blood Cries Out: Pentecostals, Ecology, and the Groans of Creation Here are the links to previous posts on my blog referenced in today's Episodes: Marriage: God's House of Ambush Episode 099: The Community of God with Doug Bursch Here are the links to books to dive deeper into Maximus the Confessor: Maximus Confessor by George Berthold Maximus Confessor by Andrew Louth If you’re enjoying this podcast, spread the word by sharing it with your friends and leaving a review on Apple Podcasts.
