We're kicking off Season 6 with a mini-series on Women in Theology! 

In this episode, we hear from Dr. Janet Soskice, who delivered the 2025 Laing Lectures at Regent (Feb 4-6, 2025) on the topic "God and Creation: An Urgent Teaching for Today." In this engaging conversation, Janet shares about her time as a Regent student, her work on the doctrine of creation and the names of God, and her experience as a woman in theology.
