The Public House at Signs of Life will feature a Public Discussion on a topic taken from the Mars Hill Audio Journal. For those who are not familiar with Mars Hill Audio, it is a ninety-minute, bimonthly audio journal produced by Ken Myers, former Arts and Humanities editor for National Public Radio's Morning Edition and All Things Considered.Discussion Topic: This Thursday's Public Discussion will feature an interview from Mars Hill Audio Journal Volume 56. In this volume, Miroslav Volf, a professor of systematic theology at Yale Divinity School, discusses the tendency of the Church to regard religion as a band-aid that heals the wounds of life but does not shape daily life. In his book Practicing Theology: Beliefs and Practices in Christian Life, Volf uses the example of hospitality to illustrate how theology ought to be more than a mere aid to life. ***The Discussion will include listening to the featured interview, so preparation beforehand is not necessary.Mars Hill Audio Journal Website: I highly recommend the Mars Hill Audio Website for those looking for more resources of this sort. Ken Myers posts various essays and resources on the website regularly, and they have an extensive library of past resources.Mars Hill Audio Journal Archives: If anyone is interested in purchasing any of the past or present issues of Mars Hill Audio, Signs of Life sells them for $9 per CD.
