	Description:		In this episode I am joined by the Norwegian philosopher and theologian Dr. Jan-Olav Henriksen. He is the Professor of Philosophy of Religion in MF Norwegian School of Theology, Norway, and Professor of Contemporary Religion at Agder University, Norway. I absolutely loved his recent trilogy of books and was thrilled to have him return to the podcast! In the conversation we talk about… the pragmatic dimension of theology the symbol-deficit disorder of contemporary theology the connection between religious studies, philosophy of religion, and confessional theology “God doesn’t need to exist to have an impact on people’s lives” religion as a lived mode of being in the world how to understand the ambiguities of religion how religious symbols and metaphors function the narrative nature of the self getting over the super ego God reframing nature symbolically in order to survive on this planet the semiotics of nature Check out Henriksen’s first visit to the podcast where we discuss Christology & Postmodern Philosophy. Dr. Henriksen’s Recent Books Christianity as Distinct Practices: A Complicated Relationship Religion as Orientation and Transformation: A Maximalist Theory Relating God and the Self: Dynamic Interplay Religious Pluralism and Pragmatist Theology Representation and Ultimacy: Christian Religion as Unfinished Business Resurrection: Texts and Interpretation, Experience and Theology This episode is Sponsored By… What does it mean to follow Jesus into a life of peace, compassion & wholeness?
