Douglas Ottati: Reformed Theology for the 21st Century

Douglas Ottati joins the podcast for his 5th visit to discuss his new book, A Theology for the Twenty-First Century. This is one of the most significant Protestant Systematic Theologies in years. I absolutely loved it. Of course, I talk about Ottati's Christology in my recent book so I am a bit of a fan. Ottati is the Craig Family Distinguished Professor in Reformed Theology and Justice Ministry at Davidson College in Davidson, North Carolina. In our conversation we discuss: the nature and role of piety for Christian theology the historicity of religious traditions CS Pierce and the practice of musement how the enlightenment has shaped our engagement with the world  the power of market & religious liturgies why Jonathan Edwards gets a bad wrap the task of being in a living tradition how monuments work with history theological anthropology reasons to keep a thick doctrine of sin why Schleiermacher is so awesome for thinking Christ & community thinking theologically about the fissures and tensions in the life of the church and culture how pastoral questions & challenges lead to economic and political critique the problematic relations between church & academy Previous Visits to the Podcast  Douglas Ottati on a Liberal Christian Christology Why Write a Liberal Theology? w/ Douglas Ottati Liberal Christian Piety with Douglas Ottati The Genealogy of Liberal Theology Follow the podcast, drop a review, send feedback/questions or become a member of the HBC Community.
