A new book by GTU Emerita Professor of Historical Theology
Margaret R. Miles
Bodies in Society: Essays on Christianity in Contemporary Culture, Cascade Books, 2008
Miles finds that Christianity, critically appropriated, provides ideas and methods for thinking concretely about life in North American society.
Ted Peters, professor of Systematic Theology at the GTU and Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, was named the Martin E. Marty Professor of Religion and the Academy at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota. Martin Marty is a renowned observer and historiographer of 19th and 20th century American Religion.
Peters — ethicist, author, and scholar focusing on the interplay between theology and science — will teach, sponsor colloquia and dialogues with faculty and students, and lead a faculty seminar at St. Olaf during the 2009 calendar year.
Peters is the author, co-author, or editor of more than a dozen books, including The Stem Cell Debate; and Can You Believe in God and Evolution?: A Guide for the Perplexed. He is the editor of Dialog: A Journal of Theology, and co-editor of Theology and Science, the scholarly journal of the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences in Berkeley.
