A Christianity Worth Believing -- Interview with Doug Pagitt: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (297)
On the eve of publication of Doug Pagitt’s new book, A Christianity Worth Believing, Doug and Bob Hyatt sat down at the National Pastors’ Convention for a chat about how Doug thinks of his critics, about pressure from the left and right, that infamous interview with Way of the Master, and what’s next- a career in politics?
They started off talking about tattoos (part of the conversation we’ll save you from…) but a sun/moon/stars/Psalms tattoo led us to talking about Scriptural cosmology and how some people see/deal with Scripture… and that’s where we jump into the conversation…
It might be best if he just doesn’t do these interviews often. This is painful.
I thought in listening I would hear what Doug Pagitt thinks about things, not the 90% of the time that Bob Hyatt took to share his own thoughts in this supposed interview of Pagitt.
This post would be better titled “Doug Pagitt Listens to Bob Hyatt.”
What is this??? This is definitely not an interview with Doug Pagitt. Bob Hyatt enjoys listening to himself talk way too much. How about a do-over?
I have to disagree. Most of who I heard talking was, in fact, Doug. It is Doug who starts out asking the question, “Have you heard of the new Geocentrists?” and it’s he who poses the most thoughts…although they’re often in question form.
True, this wasn’t your typical ‘interview’…just a conversation. But that’s how these things work best I think, imho…and, since I’ve interviewed Doug myself, I can say that’s how he likes ‘interviews’ to go too. Dialogue. I liked feeling like I was just sitting in on a conversation.
Also keep in mind when you read an interview in text, you’re getting the distilled/edited version of things. That’s not what this audio is.
