"Confessions of an Irreligious Christian" by David Bentley Hart — Aaron Thiessen

Rather than continue through the Narrative Lectionary, over the summer months REC is continuing our tradition of offering 'recycled' sermons. Rather than create something new each week, speakers are instead invited to choose a sermon that they have heard in the past that has stuck with them, for whatever reason. Then, at the pulpit, they share the story of why the sermon stood out for them, and then offer a 'recycled' version of that sermon once again, retaining the original author's voice as much as possible.This week, Aaron kicks us off with a heavily edited version of David Bentley Hart's "Confessions of an Irreligious Christian," which draws on the resurrection account in 1 Corinthians 15:4-8
