Faith Beyond Dogma with Addison Hodges Hart | Created In The Image of God 194
Description
Addison Hodges Hart has spent decades writing at the intersection of theology, history, and the contemplative life. Across twelve books—ranging from his studies of the Gospels to his philosophical meditations and even his fictional experiment Confessions of the Antichrist—he has returned again and again to a single question: what remains of faith once the scaffolding of doctrine has been stripped away?In this conversation, Hart draws on his long career as a priest, scholar, and spiritual essayist to examine how belief evolves when it is tested by experience rather than upheld by obligation. He reflects on the tensions he has observed within Christian communities, the limits of dogmatic certainty, and the quiet resilience of a faith grounded in intellectual honesty. With the same clarity that animates his Substack The Pragmatic Mystic, Hart argues that the spiritual life matures only when it learns to breathe outside the structures built to protect it.What emerges is not a dismissal of tradition, but a more demanding version of it—one that asks for depth over compliance, and for courage in the face of unanswerable questions.
