Pyroseminar | A/Theism and the Theological Cure

At the end of the month a new Atheism for Lent begins. So, for this months Pyroseminar, I thought I would chart the development of the practice and explore the ways in which theism and atheism have intertwined in important ways. I’ll be offering a brief history of the philosophical and theological development of atheism, and picking out some examples of how some atheistic work can help illuminate the depths of the theological Cure.

As always, it can also be watched live or later via Patreon. To access this - and all other - pyroseminars, you just need to be signed up to the Flame level, or above, on Patreon.
