Theology Matters explores how theology matters in the contemporary world, by engaging the matters of theology. Brought to you by the Center of Theological Inquiry in Princeton, New Jersey. The Center of Theological Inquiry in Princeton, New Jersey, is an ecumenical institute for interdisciplinary research in the field of religion. James I. McCord founded it in 1978 to cultivate a theological renaissance through dialogue. Our mission is inspired by McCord’s vision and values – dedication to scholarship, openness to new ideas, generosity of spirit, and commitment to fresh thinking. Views expressed in the podcast are those of the participants and not of the Center of Theological Inquiry.
