Theology and Theologians

Theology is the study of religious faith, practice, and experience; the study of God and God’s relation to the world. Theologians lead this study, and many significant theologians and scholars of the church have been recorded while teaching at seminaries and speaking at church gatherings. Their thoughts and wisdom has been preserved on these recordings.

Description: Dr. Henri Nouwen speaks at the Scarritt Bennett Center in Nashville. Introduction by Maxine Beach, Interim Director of the Scarritt Bennett Center. This talk was presented near the end of the first Gulf War (Operation Desert Shield), and makes many references to that war. From Wikipedia: Henri Jozef Machiel Nouwen (1932-1996) was a Dutch Catholic priest, professor, writer and theologian. His interests were rooted primarily in psychology, pastoral ministry, spirituality, social justice, and community. Over the course of his life, Nouwen was heavily influenced by the work of Anton Boisen, Thomas Merton, Rembrandt, Vincent van Gogh, and Jean Vanier. After nearly two decades of teaching at academic institutions including the University of Notre Dame, Yale Divinity School, and Harvard Divinity School, Nouwen went on to work with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities at the L'Arche Daybreak community in Richmond Hill, Ontario.
