Скачать или смотреть Becoming a Theologian: How I Got Like This | Process Explorations

Gary Dorrien describes his presentation as “a memoir of my early life as an autodidactic bumpkin jock, my education and early career as a solidarity organizer, and my second-career move into the academy as an unlikely theological scholar.“ The session offers a window into the life of one of the most influential theologians and ethicists of the present era.
