Bring That Hammer Down

This is a recording of a talk given at Samford University, Birmingham, Alabama, on 18th October 20204. I was invited to talk on the theme of ‘Resisting the Machine and Renewing the Church.’ In response, I talked about J. R. R. Tolkien, Arthur C. Clarke, D. H. Lawrence, robot priests, the Garden of Eden, Steve Jobs, Sir Wilfred Thesiger, the abolition of nature, and how to take a hammer to your smartphone.

You can also watch a filmed version of the talk at the video link above. More videos like this can be found on my Youtube channel.
