JUST FYI POD: IDEAS
SEASON 1, EPISODE 12: “Our Ten Favorite Theological Works: #1”
During the first season of Just FYI Pod: Ideas, my cohost Clark Elliston and I have been counting down our ten favorite works of theology. On today’s episode, and after months of deliberation, we turn to the #1 book on our respective lists! In a moment of chutzpah, Clark begins with none other than The Bible itself. Meanwhile, I explore Søren Kierkegaard’s 1849 psycho-spiritual masterpiece The Sickness unto Death (Sygdommen til Døden), attributed to the pseudonym “Anti-Climacus.” So, one book is not really a book but a “series of communications,” and the other book was “written” by a person who never really existed. This is going to be interesting! And yet, as will be seen, these irregularities are not only explicable but serve to bring out the deeper import in these timeless works.

I love the way the Bible constantly listens to and references itself. Ultimately, the Bible is not about us, it’s about God. I wonder how many books about the Bible have been written throughout the years? Really interesting discussion.
