In this episode Dr. Shepherd interviews Dr. Gary Dorrien, who currently serves as the Reinhold Niebuhr Professor of Social Ethics at Union Theological Seminary, and Professor of Religion at Columbia University. An Episcopal priest and multisport athlete, professor Dorrien is the author of 14 books and more than 250 articles on ethics, social theory, theology, philosophy, politics and history. Princeton University philosopher Cornel West calls him, "The preeminent social ethicist in North America today," and Boston University's Robert Neville says professor Dorrien is "The most rigorous theological historian of our time, moving from analyses of social context and personal struggles through the most abstruse theological and metaphysical issues." Put on your thinking cap and join us as Dr. Tom and his guest make some deep ideas accessible to everyone. |
