Guide to Theological Terms: Theology

Show Notes

Theology: the study of the nature of God and religious belief.

Hope & Heresy is a show all about theology, and our entire last season focused on visions of the Divine (check it out!), so why do we need to define the term? Excellent question. On this episode, Reverend Sarah and Reverend Peggy argue that defining theology in a liberal-religious context is a necessary ingredient to gaining greater understanding of your own beliefs. Discussing theology is deeply personal -- perhaps even more personal than discussing sex! -- and being prepared with language and vocabulary can facilitate deeper and more meaningful conversations.

What is Hope & Heresy: Life on the Religious Left?

Hope & Heresy: Life on the Religious Left is a podcast for everyday people who want to live meaningfully without letting arbitrary doctrine or oppressive religious practice prevent them from asking big questions about our complicated world. Hosts Reverend Peggy Clarke and Reverend Sarah Lenzi discuss a series of contemporary issues, using history and theology as their guides. The initial episodes of Hope & Heresy were recorded on-site at Community Church of New York, a Unitarian-Universalist congregation in Murray Hill, Manhattan.
