Power & Politics in Theology with Laurel Schneider

Why should everyone care about theology? Laurel Schneider joins us this week for some good theo-nerding. We have too much fun tackling just a few non-controversal theological topics like…Politics, Culture, Power, Social Justice, Feminism, Church History, Economics, Freedom, Liberty, Queer Theory, Occupy Wall Street, Ayn Rand, Karl Barth, Capitalism, Democracy, and a few other goodies.

Laurel Schneider is Professor of Theology, Ethics, and Culture at the Chicago School of Theology. If you are wise you have surely gotten yourself a copy of Laurel’s edited volume Polydoxy: Theology of Multiplicity and Relation since both Catherine Keller and John Thatamanil have discussed it on previous episodes. Now you just got check out Laurel’s Beyond Monotheism: A Theology of Multiplicity.

Check out Lauerl’s “It Gets Better” video here.

Jeremy, thanks I didn't know that comments were to only reflect the views, and not the subjects, of the podcasts.

DMF, what's up with all these links? I know I can get off on tangents, but these links are only loosely related to the blog post. There's quite a gap separating Laurel Schneider and John Milbank. The Christian social vision beyond left and right? That's cute. Chances are it's closer to the right.

oops sorry the unbroken link is: http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/bigideas/theology-and-the-good-society/3958380

http://www.abc.ne"t.au/radionational/programs/bigideas/theology-and-the-good-society/3958380 Philip Blond and John Millbank viewing the big picture from down under: "For today's guests, it is the Christian social vision that represents a genuine 'third way' over against the bankrupt politics of the left and the right, beyond the welfare state and the supposedly unbridled free market."
