The first talk in our “Faith, Law and Culture Speaker Series” at Seton Hall Law School will be held today, September 15, at 4:30 p.m. in the Faculty Library. The speaker series will feature theologians whose work focuses on the connections between faith, reason, law, reconciliation, and justice. Today’s speaker is Dr. Stephen Long of Marquette University (bio here: http://www.marquette.edu/theology/long.shtml). He describes himself as follows: “Steve was baptized by the Anabaptists, educated by the evangelicals, ordained and pastorally formed by the Methodists and given his first position as professor of theology by the Jesuits, which makes him either ecumenically inclined or theologically confused.” Dr. Long’s topic for today’s talk is “Being a Christian in Modernity: Nominalism, Politics and the Christian Life.”
The year-long series schedule is available here: http://law.shu.edu/About/News_Events/faithlawculture/index.cfm. All of our speakers, including Dr. Long as well as Miroslav Volf, David Bentley Hart, and Nicholas Wolterstorff, are distinguished and internationally recognized theologians.
Whether you’re a theologically-minded person or someone who thinks “faith and reason” is an oxymoron, we think you’ll find these talks stimulating. There is still time to register and attend.

Sounds exciting… Too bad my schedule won’t allow me to zip over from NE Texas and hear it. Any chance a recording will be available via podcast?
Hi — yes I do plan to make the talk available via podcast. Watch this space for more info.
Do you have an idea when the podcast might be available?
