    Theology Now!: The Katallagete with Dr. Jonathan McGregor

    In this episode we explore Will Campbell, the Committee of Southern Churchmen and the Katallagete; a journal promoting nuanced, theological discussions of major political, cultural, and social crisis in the 20th century. Our guest for the episode is Dr. Jonathan McGregor, Lecturer in the Department of English at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. Dr. McGregor researches the Christian Left from a literary studies lens. In this fascinating interview McGregor encourages us to interpret The Katallagete as a kind of literary and theological aesthetics. Unlike certain left wing Christian public theology that focuses on the tragic dimensions of human life Campbell and the Katallagete adopt a more comedic aesthetic focusing on the redemptive potential of human life and God's act of dismantling structures of evil through God's relentless acts of Grace. McGregor shows us that the Katallagete offers Christians a true alternative to right wing Christian nationalism and the more typical seriousness of a Christian socialism.

    Theology Now!: Dorothee Soelle With Dr. Sarah Pinnock

    In this, the second in an occasional series of podcasts exploring major themes and resources from the Project's 22-year history, we are going to do something a little different and focus on one particular lived theologian, the radical, feminist, liberation theologian Dorothee Soelle. We have an exciting interview with Dr. Sarah Pinnock, professor of contemporary religious thought at Trinity University in San Antonio. Dr. Pinnock is the author of many articles and books on theology, theodicy, Holocaust studies, and of course the thought and theology of Dorothee Soelle. The interview with Dr. Pinnock features a rich conversation about Soelle, her contributions, and what we can learn from her provocative theological voice. Dr. Pinnock even shares with us a little bit of what it was like to live with Dorothee Soelle for a short time in Germany. You will not want to miss this interview.
