Topics
Alex O'Connor: 本期节目探讨了近年来基督教在一些意想不到的群体中（公共知识分子和Z世代）重新流行起来的现象。一些思想家虽然不相信基督教的真实性，但却对基督教文化或理想表示同情，这体现了人们对新无神论创造的精神空虚的回应。右翼思想家认为新无神论创造的精神空虚被一些他们不喜欢的意识形态（如觉醒文化、伊斯兰教等）所填补，因此他们试图寻找替代方案，而基督教因其悠久的历史和传统，成为对抗新兴意识形态的有力工具。此外，基督教比伊斯兰教对教义的解释更灵活，这使得其更容易适应现代社会。 Alex O'Connor还探讨了“文化基督徒”的概念，以及人们对基督教教义和伦理的不同理解。他认为，真正的基督徒不仅要相信耶稣复活，更要实践基督教的伦理，如宽恕、慈悲、施舍等。但他同时也指出，一些人对基督教的认同是出于对当前政治和文化趋势的不满，而非出于神学信仰。 最后，Alex O'Connor还讨论了诺斯替福音的发现及其对早期基督教研究的意义。他认为，诺斯替福音的发现有助于我们了解早期基督教的异端思想，以及人们对基督教教义的不同理解。 Chris Willx: 本期节目主要围绕着近年来基督教在一些意想不到的群体中（公共知识分子和Z世代）重新流行起来的现象展开讨论。主持人Chris Willx与Alex O'Connor就新无神论的局限性、基督教复兴的政治维度、以及人们对基督教教义和伦理的不同理解等问题进行了深入探讨。 Chris Willx对基督教复兴的政治维度表示关注，并探讨了基督教复兴是否是保守主义的复兴，还是对其他社会运动的回应。他认为，基督教复兴在一定程度上是对新无神论创造的文化真空的回应，而回应者多为保守主义者。 此外，Chris Willx还对基督教复兴的意义和价值进行了反思，并探讨了人们对基督教教义和伦理的不同理解。他认为，人们对基督教的认同可能出于对当前政治和文化趋势的不满，也可能出于对个人意义和价值的追求。

Shownotes Transcript

Alex O’Connor is a YouTuber, writer and a podcaster.

Christianity is nothing new. But it's seeing a resurgence in popularity among some unexpected groups - public intellectuals and Gen Z. What is going on that only shortly after it was cool to be an atheist, it's now cool to go to church on a Sunday again?

Expect to learn whether we are actually seeing a Christian revival, if the new wave of Christianity is just right wing conservatism in disguise, whether you can ‘choose’ to believe in God, if new atheism was a failure, why there is not a current muslim revival, what happened to the gospels that were missing from the original bible, whether there's two Gods in the Old Testament and much more...
