YouTube description
In this video, Catholic theologian, author and priest James Alison discusses oddness. This sequence is part of the Christian Adult Education Video Course, The Forgiving Victim, where, using anthropology, a mimetic understanding of how desire and violence work, and old fashioned common sense, James invites us to transform how we think about God, how we pray and worship and how we go about being good Christians.
