Summary

Douglas Ottati joins the podcast for his 5th visit to discuss his new book, A Theology for the Twenty-First Century. This is one of the most significant Protestant Systematic Theologies in years. I absolutely loved it. Of course, I talk about Ottati's Christology in my recent book so I am a bit of a fan. Ottati is the Craig Family Distinguished Professor in Reformed Theology and Justice Ministry at Davidson College in Davidson, North Carolina. In our conversation we discuss: the nature and role of piety for Christian theology the historicity of religious traditions CS Pierce and the practice of musement how the enlightenment has shaped our engagement with the world the power of market & religious liturgies why Jonathan Edwards gets a bad wrap the task of being in a living tradition how monuments work with history theological anthropology reasons to keep a thick doctrine of sin why Schleiermacher is so awesome for thinking Christ & community thinking theologically about the fissures and tensions in the life of the church and culture how pastoral questions & challenges lead to economic and political critique the problematic relations between church & academy Previous Visits to the Podcast Douglas Ottati on a Liberal Christian Christology Why Write a Liberal Theology? w/ Douglas Ottati Liberal Christian Piety with Douglas Ottati The Genealogy of Liberal Theology Follow the podcast, drop a review, send feedback/questions or become a member of the HBC Community.

0:19.3	We're since the year of 2008, not just any part of 2008, but March. That's right. We're turning 15 years old.
0:28.0	Uh-huh. We've been bringing you audiological goodness interviews with some of the best thinkers, scholars, theologians, philosophers, biblical scholars, and such.
0:35.6	Right to your earbuds so that we can think with you,
0:38.9	not for you, as you ask the biggest questions of the cosmos and faith.
0:45.0	And today on the podcast, we're getting a return visit from one of the greatest reformed
0:50.5	theologians alive on planet Earth today, Douglas O Totti. He is the Craig family distinguished professor of reformed theologians alive on planet Earth today, Douglas O. Totti. He is the Craig family
0:56.5	distinguished professor of reformed theology of justice at Davidson in North Carolina. He is the
1:04.1	author of a brand new massive one volume systematic theology. It is called a theology for the 21st century. Oh yeah,
1:14.5	and this is liberal Protestant theology at its finest, and we're going to have ourselves a

1:29.0	barrel-aged podcast feeds, some of the greatest hits. You could say it's a separate feed,

1:40.1	Ministry Conference five or six years ago, where we did a little genealogy of liberal
1:45.5	Protestants going through all sorts of different liberal Protestant theologians where he shared
1:50.0	rather briefly right as we're flying through some of the biggest ideas different thinkers brought
1:54.5	and most recently he joined to talk about the framework for contemporary liberal theology.
2:03.4	And we referenced that a bit in this conversation.
2:06.9	So if you dig this and you want to find out more about his method and vision for doing systematic theology, go check it out because, oh, it's good.
2:16.6	Now, before we jump into the podcast today, I just want to make sure you all know that we are on the eve of something exciting.
