pete rollins

nick knows how much I really liked pete rollins' book "how (not) to speak of god". that's why he forwarded me the great video below, of pete expounding on the idea of the ironic in the way we keep a distance between our idea of god and actually living him. If you can't understand nor'n ayrsh particularly with a tinny mpeg compression then my apologies, also beware of flying hand gestures :)

btw i highly recommend "how (not) to speak of god", an exploration of pete's post-modern takes on traditional items of orthodoxy, which I found very helpful. pete's all about the idea that while we need theology (our speech about god), it isn't god and will ultimately fail to be Truth since it is a human construct. You have to weather a hailstorm of pomo and decon jargon but if you like that sort of thing (i do :p) it's very rich.
