We discuss Keith Giles's new book, "Jesus Unarmed."
0:00:00 - Introduction
0:07:43 - Why should we care about the early church?
0:11:48 - How do we pick and choose what we draw from the early church and what we leave behind? Why nonviolence but not misogyny?
0:16:43 - How do we pick and choose what is literal from the words of Jesus? Why nonviolence but not gouging out our eyes?
0:25:08 - How was Constantine so effective at overhauling the church so quickly?
0:32:58 - What is the relation of nonviolence to poverty?
0:39:23 - Discuss how Constantine split society into a sacred and secular one, and how he divorced orthodoxy from orthopraxy.
0:43:38 - What is the importance of incarnation and discipleship to nonviolence and the Christian life?
0:53:13 - How is understanding mimesis helpful for the Christian life? Is the church failing because the world is so alluring to mimic, or because the church is failing to offer a counter-mimesis?
1:00:48 - If mimesis is so important, then protecting the purity of the church is important. How do we balance church discipline with inclusivity and acceptance?
1:08:23 - Protecting the reputation of the church is loving one another.
1:12:08 - Do you have any insight on how we determine what we should consume and be influenced by?
1:22:13 - Closing remarks
