Show Notes
A Flexible Faith is a project aiming to create a theology of dialogue. Bonnie surveys the history of the Christian tradition to show how Christians have responded to life’s questions theologically. She presents topics from atonement theory to should Christians vote to women’s equality and offers various responses and discussion questions to help folks engage with one another. Also, throughout the chapters, Bonnie includes brief interviews with Christians from varied traditions such as Anabaptist, Pentecostal, Methodist, Womanist, Liberationist and many more. We discuss what sparked Bonnie’s interest in this project and how it has shaped her theology.
