In this episode, Dr. Hanna Reichel, an associate professor of Reformed Theology at Princeton Theological Seminary, shares their exploration of theology, faith, and social justice. Their upbringing in Germany, where their parents served as Lutheran ministers, provided them with a global faith perspective, emphasizing the interplay between the universal nature of theology and its diverse cultural expressions. Dr. Reichel’s experiences in both Catholic and Protestant contexts shed light on the challenges posed by doctrinal differences within religious communities.
The conversation extends to the intersection of theology with politics, economics, and social justice, with a particular focus on supporting LGBTQ+ individuals within religious settings. Dr. Reichel also discusses their book, “After Method: Queer Grace, Conceptual Design, and the Possibility of Theology,” and explores the metaphor of design theory in understanding theology’s impact on the world. The episode concludes with insights into the weaponization of the doctrine of sin and queer theological perspectives on solidarity, providing a thought-provoking journey through these complex themes in today’s society.
