Dr. Dwight N. Hopkins was born and raised in the segregated south, but through the support system of his loving family and the African American church community, he grew to become a renowned theologian. Hopkins is the Alexander Campbell Professor of Theology at the University of Chicago Divinity School. Graduating from Harvard, Hopkins went on to earn PhD's from Union Seminary and the University of Cape Town (South Africa).Those of you who listen to this program regularly know that I have credited Dr. Hopkins as being the one who's work first exposed me to the idea of culture as spirit, aesthetic, and labor. In today's conversation, I talk with Dr. Hopkins about:-his personal journey of faith and calling into theology -how his experiences in African American church communities shaped his interest in cultural theology -culture as spirit, aesthetic, and labor; and if "spirits" aren't just psychologically symbolic-how he would theologically and personally evaluate the recent phenomenon of the tearing down statues and monuments throughout America (his answer surprised me!)-and more!

The Bible isn’t just a book for church and theology. It’s a book designed to orient all of our lives and culture. A narrow theology has led us to a narrow faith. And failure.
Why Listen? This is perhaps the most important episode of the show we've done. Ex nihilo means "from nothing". This site is all about recovering some of what we lost in the Garden of Eden. This includes our bodies, our diets, or prayer/meditation life, but it also includes how we treat one another. We call that "community". How do we relate with one another? That's a big question we need to answer We know that racial tension is high today in the US, and our guest gives us some very hardcore truths about the realities of the solution to these problems. They are very real truths that are hard to hear, but important for us to reconcile with one another. Guest Bio Derwin Gray is the founding and lead pastor of Transformation Church, one of the fastest-growing churches in America. TC is a multi-ethnic, multi-generational, mission-shaped community with three campuses near Charlotte, NC. Working toward his doctorate at Northern Seminary, Derwin is the author of four books, including The High Definition Leader, a book on developing leaders to aim towards multi-cultural churches.
