Dr. Lucille MacGillicuddy, aka the "Theologian to the Common Man" was born in Arizona, Dr. MacGillicuddy moved in her 20s to the ancient Babylonia, located in modern-day Iraq, to study the physical evidence of a global flood and Noah's Ark. In the process, and following a near-drowning experience after she tried to construct an ark of her own but failed to convert cubits from metric to imperial, she had an unexpected spiritual revelation. Following that, she devoted her life to making theology more accessible to the average person, with the aid of an industrial-strength thesaurus and pencil illustrations by Garth Williams. She likes to say that she went to the seminary of hard knocks, eschewing a conventional theological education in favor of extreme confidence and a mail-order degree in business. She calls herself a doctor of divinity, however, as she has successfully completed both a CPR certification program and a read-the-Bible-in-a-year study plan. Dr. MacGillicuddy now hosts the podcast My Favorite Eschatology, in which she referees a weekly cage match of conversation between leaders in premillennialist, postmillennialist and antimillennialist thought, polling the audience American Idol-style to determine a winner. She spends eight hours a day seeking spiritual experiences on mountaintops, and most of the remainder of her time arranging often complicated transportation logistics back down the mountain. She is the author of "Mom! Little Joey Is Trying to Immanentize the Eschaton Again:" How to Resolve Minor Theological Conflicts Among Family Members." Dr. MacGillicuddy is also working on a memoir, provisionally titled, "Don't Eff with the Ineffable: My Journey From Foolishness to Faith, and Back Again, and Back Again." Please Enjoy this episode!
