Christian Theology and Nonduality

The Tao of Christ is a podcast which explores the mystical, intuitive, and contemplative side of Christianity. In particular it explores what has been historically called the unitive life and union with God. I call it Christian nonduality, nondualism, and unitive awareness. As a Christian, one issue that is continually raised in conversation is the relationship between Christian doctrine and mysticism. How does nonduality relate to Christian theology? Does traditional Christian doctrine contradict or rule out the type of spirituality that Christian nonduality speaks of? Conservative Christians consider the contemplative or mystical approach to the spiritual life to be heresy. That is because they mistake the mystics’ use of religious language to be theology. It is not theology; it is a description of one’s awareness of God. In this episode I show how traditional Christian theology can be used to express nondual awareness. As an example I discuss the Christian doctrine of the Virgin Birth and show how it communicates the reality of union with God. View Marshall's books here:https://www.amazon.com/stores/Marshall-Davis/author/B001K8Y0RU
