Yuckman, Colin H. – Teaching Theology & Religion, 2022
Perceptions about remote theological education inevitably cluster around questions of embodiment, community, and unity. The letters of the apostle Paul have quite a bit to say about these themes. This essay examines Paul's treatment of distance in the formation and education of Christians, focused around the image of the "body of Christ"…

Hankela, Elina – Teaching Theology & Religion, 2020
A lively conversation has arisen in recent years among theologians concerning ethnographic theology.

This article addresses the question of employing ethnographic…

This article details one experience crafting two class sessions for an…
