in this episode, I have a conversation with Pastor Adam Morton. He is a Lutheran pastor in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and a PhD student at the University of Nottingham. His dissertation deals the "image of God." A wide-ranging and fascinating topic, Adam Morton addresses his research subject with characteristic wit, insight, and rigor. Even though this conversation deals with a dissertation, Pastor Morton is a very clear communicator, making his ideas accessible to all.
