TITLE: TKM Canada: The Good Man Jesus & The Scoundrel Christ: The Gospel According to Philip Pullman Podcast: Live at Canada West with Bill Hogg 1 of 1

Avowed atheist and best-selling author Philip Pullman is known for writing Northern Lights, which was adapted for the silver screen and rebranded The Golden Compass.  The atheist undertones in the story sent evangelicals into a frenzy. Pullman’s latest book, The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ, has been shrouded in far more controversy.  This fictionalized retelling of the gospels is the tale of twin brothers, Jesus and Christ, the latter of which is cold, calculating, and manipulative.   Pullman uses the charismatic Jesus character to deal the church low blows and criticism. Host Bill Hogg is joined by regular panelist Peter T. Chattaway and newcomer Michael Horner for this rousing edition of The Kindlings.

Bearing the MysteryPodcast: Live At Image Journal on Orcas Island Segment 1 of 1

Final Cover 200It has been said that, “a literary quarterly exists to acquaint unpopular writers with one another’s writings.” That is often true: but not always. Since its founding in 1989, Image Journal has not only emerged as one of North America’s leading quarterlies but has also carved out a unique identity as the source for contemporary art and literature that grapple with the perennial questions of religious faith. In this show we will feature the book Bearing the Mystery (Eerdmans 2010), which brings together in one handsome volume the best of Image Journal’s first twenty years — The book features an all-star cast of seventy writers including Scott Cairns, Annie Dillard, Clyde Edgerton, Patricia Hampl, Ron Hansen, Edward Hirsch, Linda Hogan, Denise Levertov, Kathleen Norris, Richard Rodrieguez and Wim Wenders.Also featured are over twenty visual artists. Our first guest is Gregory Wolfe publisher and editor of Image Journal, writer-in-residence and Director of the MFA in Creative Writing Program at Seattle Pacific University. We will also feature readings from Image Journal Board member and poet Luci Shaw followed by IMAGE Journal Staffers Taylor Morris, Anna Johnson and Dyana Herron.

The Lovely Bones Podcast: Live At Hales Segment 1 of 1

6a00fae8e2824e000b0110183e9953860f-500piHost Dick Staub leads us in a discussion about a world described by the SF Chronicle as “savagely beautiful that comes alive in a strange and compelling novel.” The book is The Lovely Bones, by Alice Sebold. The NYT said it is “mesmerizing ~  taking the stuff of neighborhood tragedy and turning it into literature.” Both the book and Peter Jackson movie version intertwine elements of a coming of age novel, a mystery, an exploration of the afterlife & heaven and an exploration of one family’s dysfunction & discontent exposed more clearly by tragedy. Our guests tonight are The Reverend Jennie Spohr, producer of TKM, film critic & ordained Presbyterian clergy and Dr. Jeff Keuss SPU professor and an engaging interpreter of theology in popular culture.
