Hospitality Mat

Welcome!

The Theology Studio provides a forum for engaging voices and movements in the discipline of theology that seek to serve the church, engage tradition, resist commodification, and reclaim the primacy of the good, the true, and the beautiful.  Above all, we endeavor to explore the theological, philosophical, moral, and political significance of Thomas Aquinas' dictum: Gratia non tollit naturam sed perficit—grace does not destroy nature but perfects it.

To that end, we're putting together a library, posting interviews, profiling scholars in the field, and podcasting monthly about life in theology.  Check in every week or so for our blog postings about the lives and times of theology in the academy.  You can listen to our podcasts here, or you can download them from iTunes.

Keep up with us by liking our Facebook page and by following us on Twitter.  Take a listen to our latest podcast

The Studio Wishes to Thank: Multi-Media Partners for designing this site, Seminary of the Southwest for donating space and equipment, and the Evangelical Education Society of the Episcopal Church for the start-up grant that got us rolling.

Revolutionary Continuity

By Anthony D. Baker

This January as I’ve been preparing for another round of “invitation to theology” lectures and discussions, I’ve spent some time pondering a line that Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote from prison to his Godson, on the occasion of the latter's baptism:

“In these words and actions handed down to us we sense something totally new and revolutionary, but we cannot yet grasp it and express it” (389).
