#46: The Social Network

Sunday Morning Matinee

On this week’s episode, Matt and Adam talk with Steve Thorngate, associate editor of The Christian Century, about David Fincher’s 2010 movie, The Social Network. In the first segment, “Justification by Faith,” the group talks about facebook, ambition, and the creation myth of the tech geek. In the second segment, “Preaching to the Choir,” the group discusses the intersection of The Social Network and the lectionary texts for May 27th, 2018, Trinity Sunday, focusing on Isaiah’s heavenly vision, the themes of belonging in Romans 8, and the moral center of The Social Network. Finally, in the last segment, “Postludes,” Adam discusses a hidden moral problem that plagues our social media and Matt plays Tetris.
