Woke Theology, with Dr Jacqueline Service and Dr Amy Erickson

<p>In a first for the show, Jonathan hosts two guests. The topic? Woke theology. The trio explores the definition of woke theology before embarking on a critical engagement of three articles characterisable as woke theology: one on queering Jesus, one in feminist Christology and one on whiteness and Jesus. The three conclude with a discussion of how best to respond to woke theology.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Dr Jacqueline Service is Lecturer in Systematic Theology in the School of Theology, Charles Sturt University.
