Summary
Dr. Thornton recently finished her Ph.D. in Systematic Theology at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, where she currently serves as associate director of Ph.D. Studies and director of the Th.M program. Christy also served as a missionary in Morocco, which sparked her interested in the conversation about how best to reach Muslims (i.e. the C1-C6 spectrum).
In this conversation, we discuss the C1-C6 spectrum, Moorocan culture, and missions, and then we discuss her shift from Missiology to Systematic Theology, discussing different theological methodologies, epistemology, ontology, and Christo-centric Trinitarian theology.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, friends. Welcome back to another episode of Theology in the Raw. I have on the show today, |
| 0:04.4 | Dr. Christy Thornton. Christy just recently completed her PhD at Southeastern Baptist Theological |
| 0:12.2 | Seminary, and she currently serves as the Associate Director of PhD Studies and Director of the |
| 0:17.8 | THM program at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. And we had a wonderful conversation |
| 0:23.3 | talking about Missiology. Christy served as a missionary in North Africa in Morocco for a number |
| 0:30.4 | of years. And so we talk about kind of different Missiological approaches to reaching Muslims. |
| 0:35.5 | And then we also talk about her main theological interest in taking a, what she calls a |
| 0:40.1 | Christocentric, trinitarian approach to understanding God. And we unpack what exactly that means. |
| 0:45.6 | And we talk about other things related to ontology, epistemology, and life as a female |
| 0:52.0 | evangelical academic. And I just had such a delightful time talking to Christy. |
| 0:57.6 | We've only corresponded through email before. And so this is our first conversation together. |
| 1:01.8 | And I absolutely love talking to her. I think you will like listening to her. We did have some |
| 1:08.0 | audio glitches along the way. I think there was a poor internet connection. As you guys know, |
| 1:13.6 | it's usually on my end. I think this time it was on Christy's end. So you'll see some glitches |
| 1:17.5 | along the way. And there's one time it kind of cut out. And my audio engineer is going to clean |
| 1:22.4 | up as much as he can. But there still might be some, a couple of bumps here and there. But it didn't, |
| 1:27.4 | I didn't really take away from the content. There was nothing she said that was completely missed |
| 1:31.5 | through the various glitches. So I didn't want to trash this conversation because it was such a rich |
| 1:36.8 | conversation. If you would like to support Theology Narah, you can go to patreon.com forward slash |
