We want to introduce you to those who forgot everything except Jesus Christ and him crucified. We all struggle with fear of being last, lost, least, littlest, and dead, and so we are here to encourage, challenge, provoke, and maybe even offend you by introducing you to theologians who at one time or another were banned by their church, declared dangerous, or simply vilified for daring to confess that Christ alone is the way, truth, and life. Welcome rebel children, holy mischief makers, and fools for Christ. This podcast is for you.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/banned-books-1005383"},"episode":{"title":"423: Graff - Rationalism's war on everything \"magical.\"","slug":"423-graff-rationalism-s-war-on-everything-magical","published_at":"2026-01-09T23:24:38+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/banned-books-1005383/423-graff-rationalism-s-war-on-everything-magical","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/banned-books-1005383","url":"https://www.1517.org/podcast-overview/423-graff","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bannedbooks/BB_423.mp3?dest-id=697691","summary":"Who Made Who. In this episode, Gillespie takes the wheel and steers us into tradition, liturgy, worship styles, and the various \"-isms\" that have sprung up within the churches over the centuries. What's the purpose of the Divine Service? What is the fundamental meaning of Christian meaning? Have we jettisoned mystery for sensible explanations that find no seat pulled out for them in God's house? Is Christian worship, polity, and piety about what we know, experience, feel, or conformity to specific doctrines? Why is the old magic not welcome amongst sensible worshippers? What's the place of hymns, prayers, preaching, and Scripture in Christian worship? Is liturgy a delivery mechanism or a tool?
