Jesus on Gentle Strength, The Event, & Weak Theology

Dr. John Caputo, Founder of the Weak Theology Movement and Professor of Theology, Religion, and Philosophy at Syracuse University and Villanova University rejoins the program to discuss what Jesus said about aggression, forgiveness, gentleness, and love. He also explains what his movement, Weak Theology, is about and how that relates to Jesus and his teachings. We also discuss “The Event” and what that means. Lastly, I also ask how it’s even possible to forgive the most deplorable amongst us and why… This is a deep conversation about meaningful concepts that are very applicable to today.
