Why Theology Matters - Interview with Stanley Hauerwas
Monday Jun 25, 2018
Monday Jun 25, 2018
“Theology is the constant attempt of Christians to speak well whether we be laity or clergy.”
— Stanley Hauerwas
Jonathan Totty interviews Stanley Hauerwas about why being informed about theology is important for all Christians. And, how as Christians we are obligated to engage in theology so as to make sense of our own humanity in relation to God. This is the first of a series of podcasts titled “Why Theology Matters.” In this series Jonathan explores how theology is the “Queen of the Sciences” and the broadest horizon in which we understand and make sense of reality by interviewing theologians, pastors, and lay people who are engaged in the work of theology.
