Hot Takes Taken Cold
Derek, Matt, and Alastair discuss how to respond when respected theologians dispense hot takes on cultural issues.
In a recent podcast appearance (not here, thankfully), N.T. Wright made some, shall we say, controversial remarks that caused quite a stir in the Evangelical world in England and the UK. Seeing as his theological work is so good, Derek, Matt, and Alastair are taking this as a chance to explore how we ought to respond when good theologians say bad things in public. They address not only the substance of Wright’s comments but also their context and effects.
