Theology Drop – Hyper-Objects as a Theological Tool and a Canadian Case…

Hi friends:

I recorded this video last Friday and only now posting it here.   It’s a brief attempt to describe a concept called Hyper-Objects (H-Os) and to explore its utility for theology as a way of understanding the cosmic dimensions of sin.   I’m making some connections between the idea of H-Os as described in a recent YouTube video (Paul Vanderklay et al) and in a recent podcast (Paul Anleitner), which I came across at the same time as my parish was wrapping up a bible study on the Revelation.  In the latter part of the talk I try to see whether H-Os explain the symbols that John of Patmos uses to describe Rome, Sin and Death as cosmic adversaries of God, and then try a case study using the Reconciliation attempts with indigenous peoples and the Canadian churches to understand our complicated entanglement in the settlement of Canada.
