“The post-theological era is one in which theology is released from the academic prison to which it had been banished. It is a time when theology returns to the context in which it rightly belongs: the community of faith, the church.” || Stanley J. Grenz, Renewing the Center: Evangelical theology in a post-theological era
TheologyPub is a space for the Vox Dei Community (and beyond) to do theology. These conversations are not held with the expectation of answering questions, enlightening our minds, nor prescribing a particular theology. TheologyPub will however deconstruct what you thought you knew, make you unsure of many things, and allow you the space to think and reflect on God in a creative, communal and missional context. In a word (or eight), these conversations will release the inner theologian that has been suppressed.
There are four ways to enter the TheologyPub conversation:
- Pub Gatherings: informal conversation held at a local pub (usually the Jose Pepper’s of Belton, MO). there is no agenda to these gatherings, except for asking questions of ourselves and others. An article or two will will usually be available for pre-reading to use as a starting place for discussion.
- TheologyPub Colloquium: a rigorous conversation that will require more extensive reading and work on the part of the participant.
- blog: the blog will highlight any upcoming Pub Gatherings or Colloquiums as well as a being a space to offer theological meditations and what not.
- bookshelf: here you will find a smattering of resources that are hopefully polyphonic, organized around our conversations.
Peace and blessings!
