Why “Supernatural Theism” Won’t Die (and Why It Must) | Jack Caputo - Second Saturday 12/13/2025

What if “supernatural” is the wrong category—and religion’s real power is poetic, not paranormal? In this Second Saturday Conversation, philosopher Jack Caputo challenges the idea of a God “up there” and invites us into a deeper vision of faith grounded in imagination, story, and symbol. Drawing on thinkers like Paul Tillich and Marcus Borg, Caputo reframes Christianity as theopoetics: not a system of doctrines, but a way of life shaped by the call of unconditional compassion and justice. Faith, he argues, is not about believing the right things—it’s about responding to what truly matters.
