Rethinking Faith

When Theology Goes Bad - With Leah Robinson


Listen Later

This week I was joined by my friend Dr. Leah Robinson to discuss her work around Bad Theology. We talk about the importance of contextuality in theology, personal experiences that shape beliefs, and the complexities of faith in modern society. Leah shares her insights on how theology adapts to different contexts and the challenges of navigating personal and academic identities. We take a look into the complexities of practical theology, exploring its implications for human flourishing and the criteria for good and bad theology. Lead demonstrates how bad theology can manifest in real-world scenarios, emphasizing the need for self-reflection and a commitment to promoting equality and justice within theological frameworks.
