The other night a couple of friends and I were enjoying some beers at the local English pub, the Horse Brass (about as authentic as they get outside of the UK) and were having fun rhapsody-ing on about all things theological. In the course of the evening we came up with our own, purely comedic version of Radical Orthodoxy, which as you may know, I have lamooned on this blog several times before, with various responses. But, regardless we have come up with an excellent new book series proposal that I think all RO-minded thinkers would find captivating:
“Radical Mythology: Repristinating the Pre-Modern without Apology”
Forthcoming titles include:
Methexis & Metanoia: Reclaiming the Humors in Christian Bioethics
Theological Alchemy after the End of History
Leechcraft and the Christological: The New Debate
Lest You Fall Away: Living on Flat Earth amongst Nihilistic Spheres
Divine Creationality: On Reclaiming Ptolemaic Cosmology
Tiamet Reconsidered: Demononological Strivings and/as Origin of the Cosmos
In Defense of the Crusades, Or, Why Islam is Nihilism
Phileo and Fellatio: An Augustinian Theology of Orgasms
The Erotics of Redemption: Temple Prostitutes Vindicated!
Now that is indeed humor at its best! Reclaiming Ptolemaic Cosmology–I’m still laughing.
Hasn’t Catherine Pickstock already written most of these?
This is second only to the “Shit Happens” post in terms of humor. Hilarious post!
