Collaborative Inquiries Podcast

By: Collaborative Inquiries in Christian Theological Anthropology
  • Summary

  • This podcast comes to you as part of the “Collaborative Inquiries in Theological Anthropology” project funded by the John Templeton Foundation and Villanova University. The Collaborative Inquiries Project has assembled a community of research fellows, mentors, and scientific advisers who are working together over a three-year period. Our aim is to stimulate innovative scholarship within theology that engages with cutting-edge scientific research relevant to topics and debates within contemporary theology. Our hope is that this scholarship will have a lasting effect on the contemporary theological landscape.  

    This podcast series will introduce you the listeners to the Collaborative Inquiries project fellows and mentors as well as other established scholars whose research deals with topics such as human nature, virtues and vices, economics, race, disability, memory, human psychology, sin, and grace. We hope that they will be illuminating!
