Interview with theologian Dr A.J. Milbank

In this interview with Fr Antoniy Borisov, Professor Milbank, Director of the Centre for Theology and Politics at Nottingham University, discusses religion in modern and ancient everyday life, the place of romanticism in theology, and "Radical Orthodoxy".

Such a lovely summary by Milbank of his central social thesis in his response to the question about romanticism. Now if I could put that together with his ontology of peace, I'd understand the outlines of his work, I think. My thanks to whomever posted this; it is a valuable interview.

I`m trying to work my way through his Theology and Social Theory at the moment, difficult but really enlightening.

Brilliant answer to his question about "romancy". But I would have responded with 2 words:
Hagia Sophia

The idea of the Knight from the Middle Ages is useful. And similar to the movement in the West of New Monasticism. I think that should be fully developed.
*Right Desire*

Depersonalization is the right word for Christianity without activism.

8:40 Florensky: The first work of postmodern theology?

[cross]

A very helpful summary of RO. Very much preaching to the converted - the emaciated liturgy and aesthetics of Western churches seek what has always been in Eastern and Russian Orthodoxy; as seen on any given Sunday. RO could be seen as one raft between the two.

I think Russian Orthodoxy would frown on Milbank's underlying vitalism as a form of decadence and naturalism.
