Ματαιοδοξία ματαιοδοξιών! Όλα είναι ματαιοδοξία.
I enjoyed this collection of essays by David Bentley Hart so much and found them so engaging that I just had to share. More people need to know the works of this brilliant man.
Here is a (Zoom of course) discussion with him about his book. It is a wonderful chat but the book is SO much more.
About the book:
"The essays within this volume are divided into five sections: the nature of theology, the relations between theology and science, the connections between gospel and culture, the literary representations of and engagements with transcendence, and the New Testament. Hart responds to influential books, theologians, philosophers, and poets, including Rowan Williams, Jean-Luc Marion, Tomáš Halík, Sergei Bulgakov, Jennifer Newsome Martin, and David Jones. Drawn from live lectures delivered in various settings, these essays show how Hart’s mind works with the academic veneer of more formal pieces stripped away. Theological Territories contains new and expanded material previously unpublished by Hart and will appeal to both academic and non-academic readers interested in the place of theology in the modern world."
Theological Territories
Hart is of Eastern Orthodox tradition but draws from many and not just Christian. You can read the names of the essays at Amazon:

I hope you enjoy the video. They discuss a variety of topics. The later part of the chat on science and religion is very good, though just a tease; the essays on the subject are much much more. The first essay on tragedy and the Christian Gospel was something new for me to think about.
