Theology in the Margins

Science EN ↓ 3 episodes

As a podcast dedicated to conversations at the edge of society, each episode is dedicated to sitting down with thinkers, practitioners and provocateurs to ask how theological ideas shape and are re-shaped by the lives at the margins of society.

These are conversations that cross-disciplines and defy easy categories, inviting listeners into an exploration of deeper questions around justice, power and faith in the 21st century.
