Hermeneutics

Hermeneutics

Every season Hermeneutics takes on a new form. We began by learning how to speak Christian and then examined essays and sermons by Stanley Hauerwas. Now, we're exploring the Gospel of John. Simply put, on this season of Hermeneutics, you'll find three friends talking about the Gospel of John.

Johanna chose the word for today's episode so naturally it's both precise and obscure, bless her heart.

For laypeople: Within the sociology of knowledge, agnotology (formerly agnatology) is the study of deliberate, culturally induced ignorance or doubt, typically to sell a product, influence opinion, or win favour, particularly through the publication of inaccurate or misleading scientific data (disinformation).

The ubiquity of scripture’s contrast between commands and promises, how those who want a Christianity without the Cross are stuck with inconvenient scriptures, and a picture of grace as Jesus serving the best wine for a drunk world too far gone to notice or appreciate it. The gang at Hermeneutics continues our new series through the Gospel of John by taking a look at Jesus’s first “sign,” turning water into wine.

Hermeneutics is back!

In this newest season of Hermeneutics, we're tackling the Gospel of John, bit by bit. To kick things off we're starting at the very beginning with the Prologue.

We've made it to the end of the alphabet and instead of doing two 'Z' words, we've opted to give you 2x the conversation about 'Zealot.'

Buckle up because we are closing out this season of (Her)Men*You*Tics with a bit of zealously.

We’ve been working our way through the alphabet one stained-glass word at a time and now we’re in the crappy letters. What in the world starts with X?

No, we’re not talking about Westeros and Winterfell. On the heels of Holy Week, Johanna brings her questions, which are your questions, about how Grace invites us to think of the antagonists in scripture (and in our own lives).
