Christianity didn’t Destroy the Classical World, it Rescued it. In Conversation with Rafe Kelley

This is my third conversation with Rafe Kelley. You can find a playlist with all of our conversations. Rafe wants to talk about the challenge of the Enlightenment promoters to Christianity.

Notes 
Decades in which nothing happens, and weeks within decades happen

Hero vs warrior

Pursuit of self-transcendence

Becoming a sage is an expression of heroism as well

Having to live within a story

Vervaeke, the story is secondary to dialogue and practices

Optimally balanced between challenge and competence

The rise of superman

R Scott Baker, philosopher, fantasy novels, The Darkness That Comes Before

The Second Apocalypse

Factions that have different answers to that question

Sole purpose is to become the self-moving soul, become causal to everything else

Red Cedar Circle revival of Native American beliefs

Two levels of implicit religion

Moral ethic
Religions provide a cultural grammar that informs norms, institutions, 

3 levels explicit

Without the supernatural claims, act it out explicitly
You enter into a practice with other Christians
Accepting the Xian epistemology or ontology of the nature of being, Christ's death and resurrection
