Activist Theology Podcast

(Recorded live at the American Academy of Religion)

Dr. Roberto and Rev. Anna got to spend some time together in Denver, CO during the American Academy of Religion. This event, the largest gathering of academics whose studies are centered on religion, gave us the opportunity to record several episodes with guests that we should all be paying attention to. For each of these guests, we ask them one, big question.

This episode introduces you to Steed Davidson, a native of Trinidad and Tobago, with a Ph.D. in Hebrew Bible from Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York.. They are the Dean of the Faculty and Vice President of Academic Affairs at McCormick Theological Seminary. In this conversation, we ask Steed the question "how do we read the Bible well and without harm?"

We had one thing planned and got sidetracked in every way. So we talk about economics, the midterm election outcomes, marriage equality, and a host of other things. Sometime these "catch all" episodes become our favorites.

Roberto had an interesting Uber ride while in Chicago. Stemming from that conversation, we ponder the question: is the Church helping us be, do, act better? Or is the Church complicit in our demise? As you might imagine, the answer isn't a simple one.

Since 2016, we have watched our democracy take hits that we thought were firsts. We don't have a historical memory for where we have been and it results in us thinking that we have never seen times like this. Roberto and Anna are both big fans of the new podcast "Rachel Maddow Presents: Ultra" and were stunned to hear how much of the fascism we are experiencing in these days were also a part of the national conscious in the 1940s.
