audio resources for theology (free)
*Updated as of 1/26/10
I am currently in the process of finding all the best .mp3 , podcast, and even video I can find on the 'net. I am interested in lectures, especially class lectures, by theologians, especially the postmodern, post-Barth, systematic, kind. <--I don't know what that means either, but Google will.... Thus far, I have a number of links to Rowan Williams, some T.F. Torrance, some Hart and even some Jensen. I've already scoured Faith&Theology as well as some related links, but would love to be more comprehensive. All kinds of lectures are welcome. The iTunesU pages are woeful and pretty much impossible to find. When I think of how many wonderful lectures I attended that went unrecorded, I'm motivated to dig some out! Do you know of any? Any professors who allow their lectures out in the wild? If so, post 'em up in the reply section here, or email me!

ReplyDeleteThanks!

I would check out the Veritas Forum if I were you--might be something of interest.
ReplyDeletewww.veritas.org
Many Tom Wright links at http://www.ntwrightpage.com/
ReplyDelete@Richard: Doh! Thanks.
ReplyDelete@Amber: Thanks Amber, that's a great suggestion. I confess I am conflicted about the Veritas Forums. One of my good friends is on it, but in general it does not really represent the kind of lecture I am looking for: there's a whole lot of natural theology lovin' in there, which I'm not too excited about. Perhaps I should just link to the forum page. Any thoughts on how to proceed?

ReplyDeleteConcordia Seminary in St. Louis (The Lutherans) have some spot-on stuff on their iTunesU. http://itunes.csl.edu.
ReplyDeleteA number of lectures recorded at Seattle Pacific University. Available on their iTunes U site. Includes Moltmann, Richard Hays, Kallistos Ware, and my personal favorite: a debate between Mark Driscoll and SPU's own NT Professor Rob Wall on gender roles and the Bible.

his lecture on Chrisian Witness in an Age of Globalization at
http://www.fiftyeight.net/ramanchandra.mp3
The T. F. Torrance lectures won't download - something to do with Switchpod I think... I've emailed Ben Myers about it, but he hasn't responded (I gather he gets a lot of correspondance regards his blog). Anyone sugget how I might be able to get hold of these lectures?
ReplyDeleteDavid Bradshaw - Chair of Philosophy at the University of Kentucky. This is a recording of him at the Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies speaking concerning The concept of Divine Energies in Eastern Orthodox Christianity. Pts 1 and 2. This is from a Colloquium discussing subjects related to his book Aristotle East and West: Metaphysics and the Division of Christendom. See Also http://www.snvteam.com/iocs/videos/

I appreciate that you linked to my site, but just an advice: your Žižek links are a bit messed up, you would have saved the trouble by simply linking to my blog. For example, I'm the one who uploaded the Žižek/Cornell debate and it's also 'gathered together' on my blog. And by doing that you would see that along with that lecture goes a lecture Cornell had with Badiou. On my blog you can also find Žižek having debates with others, not just Milbank & Cornell. And "lacanian plea..." can be found in video format on my blog (although admittedly video is a bit poor) and "the ignorance of chicken" is also available there along with tons of other video lectures by Žižek.
ReplyDeleteOk, this was a bit of shameless self-promotion on my part.. and again, I really appreciate the link!
OMG~I can't wait to listen to some of this stuff!!!
ReplyDeleteTHANKS ERIN!!!

ReplyDeleteThe last Vanhoozer lecture at Westminster is now a broken link
ReplyDeletebummer - you're right. I can't find it at the archive any longer. I'll leave it up and mark it broken in case a later search can uncover it. Thanks for the heads-up.
ReplyDeleteHere is a good talk by Peter J. Gomes:
