Frank Schaeffer on Art, Music, Irony, and Satire




Tripp Fuller show

Summary: The HBCC crew is back down to three as Jess the Intern and Philip the Page are movin' on up. Christian, Amy, and Andy hold down the fort, though. Today's show features an interview with artist, author, film director, theologian, and all-around badass, Frank Schaeffer. He has a new book out, Why I am an Atheist Who Believes in God, and joins the show to talk a whole range of topics, from art to music to fundamentalism and more. Christian and Frank explore the difference between irony and satire, finding it difficult to come up with any hard and fast rules. They explore the work of glass sculptor Dave Chihuly and contrast that with Marcel Duchamp's absurdist sculptures. Frank talks about his new book and why he's never met an atheist or an evangelical.
