Hello Kobus,
Hierdie is al voorheen aangeroer maar nog nie uitgevoer nie, toe ek in ‘n brief verwys het na programme wat ek geniet het en van die veronderstelling af uitgaan dat jy dit ook dalk waardevol sal vind.
Die eerste program verwys na die volgende:
God and Science: Andrew Marr discusses the wonders of the universe with cosmologist Lisa Randall, biologist and author Richard Dawkins and Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks en kan hier gevind word. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b015yr4h/Start_the_Week_God_and_science_with_the_Chief_Rabbi_Jonathan_Sacks_Richard_Dawkins_and_Lisa_Randall/
Dit word veral ook aangebied aangesien dit drie baie goeie denkers is, alhoewel jou dunk van Richard Dawkins nie hoog is nie.
Saam daarmee kan ‘n gesprek van ‘n dekade terug ook oorweeg word, waarin Stephen Jay Gould, nou oorlede, sy argument van “Non overlapping Magisteria” bespreek en verduidelik waarin die veld van studie verdeel word. “In other words ‘science studies how the heavens go, religion how to go to heaven” en kan hier gevind word. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p005479y
John Haldane, “Professor of Philosophy, University of St Andrews and Stanton Lecturer in Divinity, Cambridge University” kom met ‘n argument vorendag waarin hy na die latynse Scienza terugkeer en formuleer dat Godsdiens ook ‘n “Scienza” is aangesien dit ‘n proses is waarvolgens die waarheid ondersoek en formuleer word.
Die derde program verwys na ‘n bepreking oor die sondeval en kan hier gevind word: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p004y27p
Genesis tells the Bible’s story of creation, but it also carries within it a tale of the ‘fall of mankind’. After their primal transgression, Adam and Eve are banished from Eden and cursed by God:
“Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life.”
What effect has this passage had on western culture, and how did the concept of an ‘original sin’ influence gender and morality in Christian Europe?
Die laaste program gaan oor redding en kan hier gevind word. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00548vp
In St Paul’s letter to the Galatians, he wrote:
"Christ has set us free; stand fast therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery". This conception of Redemption as freedom from bondage is crucial for Judeo-Christian thought. In Christianity, the liberation is from original sin, a transformation from the Fall to salvation – not just for mankind but for individual human beings. The content of that journey is moral, gaining redemption by becoming better.
So why is the idea of transformation so appealing to human beings? To what extent were Christian views of Redemption borrowed from Judaism? How did philosophers such as Marx reinterpret the concept of Redemption and can redemption retain its value in a world without God? Does its continuing power signify a deep psychological need in humankind?
Hierdie programme word nie aangebied omdat daar ‘n veronderstelling is dat jy hoegenaamd enige iets geleer kan word nie, jy ken jou Bybel te goed daarvoor en sal dit grootliks bekend wees aan jou.
Ek het dit egter as stimulerende programme ervaar en bied dit in daardie gees aan en veral omrede daar ‘n geleentheid is om nou by hierdie tipe van programme te kom oor die vakansie.
Baie dankie
Wouter
