Religious Naturalism
Three separate sessions were held for the Fall 2017 Seminar on God and the Human Future and this audio set includes all three sessions. Single sessions can be purchased separately in MP3 format, please see the product listings below.
The Seminar on God and the Human Future tackled topics of Atheism, Religious Naturalism, and Christian Nationalism. In the first two sessions, spiritual leader Bart Campolo advocated religious naturalism for its relational approach to spiritual practice and its potential to provide an alternative for a nonbelieving or non-religious audience. In dialogue with John D. Caputo of Syracuse University and Carol Wayne White of Bucknell University, the panel explored religious naturalism in light of “weak theology,” and connected it to critical race theory, highlighting it as a resource for contemporary social movements.
