Roger Haight is a prolific theologian, American Jesuit, and an excellent example of the Chicago School of theology. Standing in the tradition of greats like Paul Tillich and David Tracy, Roger seeks to articulate Christian theology for and to the cultural context. In 
his career he has focused his attention on the postmodern context of the West, those who wrestle permanently with doubt and stand on the boundary of the church with their questions. In addressing these people Dr. Haight reveals what is possible when the beauty of the Christian tradition is correlated with the questions and anxieties of people today. In this conversation we discuss his work in Christology but end up touching on a whole number of other issues including religious pluralism, ecclesiology, the nature of Orthodoxy, and the application of the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises for the entire church.
As you may know, Roger Haight has had a quarrel with the Vatican over his Christology. As we begin a series here at 
the podcast on Christology, I imagine you will begin to notice through comparison and increased understanding of the theological context and questions present today, that Roger is a faithful Christian theologian attempting to contribute constructively to the thought and practice of a church he loves. Of course you can decide yourself!

This was an amazing conversation. I can’t believe this Christology is troublesome. I thought it was an excellent account of the tradition for us today.
Looking forward to more of the series!
Great podcast! Thanks so much. On a side note, did anyone else feel like Roger sounds exactly like Hauerwas (voice wise, that is)? Weird.
Peace,

@Jamie, I don’t know if I would ever associate Haight and Hauerwas together…… Other than they both like Jesus I am not sure they would have much else in common. Is his voice really that similar? I guess we will need to get Stan on the podcast to find out!
Oh, I was completely referring to the sound of his voice. Not exact, but surprisingly similar. I’d love to have to hear you guys chat it up with Stan. Again, thanks for the great resource this site is.
Peace,
Jamie
@Tripp we would definitely lose our clean rating if we got Stan on.
Sorry, this just does not grab me as a strategy even for survival. Please put Stan H. on!
Hauerwas and Haight may not have much in common. Haight would probably relate to Tillich more, and Tillich and Hauerwas would have to struggle to find common ground.
