Alumna Facilitates Discussion Between Prominent Theologians

Published: April 13, 2021

Greenville University alumna Maureen Knudsen Langdoc 02 recently facilitated a conversation between leading theologians Samuel Wells and Stanley Hauerwas to launch a new book titledIn Conversation: Samuel Wells and Stanley Hauerwas(Church Publishing, 2020).

The book captures a series of conversations between the theologians as they addressChristian life in the twenty-first century. Langdoc facilitated these conversations as well. Scheduled for release next month, it is the third title in theIn Conversationseries.

The hope of the book was that readers get to peek around the corner and listen in as two theologians who happen to be friends chat about their work, family, and perhaps even baseball, said Langdoc.

The conversation reveals their thoughts on the Trinity, parish ministry, non-violence, and intimate notions on marriage and family.

The publishers website says the book will help folks who follow Wellss and Hauerwass theological and homiletical works discover the theologians inspirations. It calls the book a fascinating read for Episcopalians and Anglicans, and those who enjoyed the first twoIn Conversationbooks.

Maureen Knudson Langdoc, a scholar and pastor, serves as university chaplain and associate dean at DePauw University. She holds a masters of divinity from Duke University and a doctorate in theology and religious studies from Kings College London. She majored in English and religion/philosophy at Greenville University
