Listen "Cultural Observances: Celebrating Easter with Scenes from Goethe's Faust (Part 2 of 2)"
Episode Synopsis
Today, my former students, Ann, Diego, Ife, Mason, and I complete our discussion on our Easter reading of Part I of Goethe's Faust. We try to get some of the details of Part II right, talk about why Faust was so arrogant with the Erdgeist, what it means to be made in the image of God, what magic and King Solomon (from the Bible) have to do with each other, and existential dread related to academia.
