iGod blog series
For the past three weeks I’ve included guest bloggers. The posts ranged from baptist/catholic orthodoxy to feminist, queer, and heretical posts. This series has been a great way to socialize folks into the intersection of theology and technology with a nod to critical pedagogy. How really do we deal w/ classic texts like Aquinas’ Summa [...]
Lara Leigh Kelland on Who God is and How do we know?
I know Lara Leigh from social networking. In fact, I know her best as conservadora on twitter.com. We know several of the same people in Chicago, but we’ve never crossed paths face to face, only virtually. Conservadora is a queer, radical, poly, public & academic historian pursuing a Ph.D. at the University of Illinois Chicago. [...]
Joe Duggan on Who God is and how do we know?
I met Joe thru the Postcolonial Theology Network, a Facbook Group committed to collaborative work in the area of Postcolonial studies. We’ve since began collaborating, along with another person, on an intersectional project that we call TheoTech. Joe is great. I love our exchanges and I look forward to seeing his dissertation published. I am [...]

Heike is in her second year of the Joint Doctoral Program at the University of Denver/Iliff School of Theology. Her interests are Religion and Violence and Sexual Ethics. She is a German-Thai co-production, white person of color [...]
Sela Finau on Who God is and how do we know?
Sela Finau says the following concerning social signifiers: I dislike having to identify myself because I hate to be labeled.

Margaret Robinson on Who God is and How do we know?
I met Margaret this past year at the American Academy of Religion in Montréal, Quebec, Canada. We attended many of the same panels and struck up conversation about all things related to theology, ethics, sexuality, religion, and the like. We exchanged information and have corresponded with one another since meeting last November 2009. Margaret is [...]
Jesse Perillo on Who God is and how do we know?
I can’t remember how I first met Jesse. But, our email dialogue and conversation over beer and dinner in Chicago was always a treat. I wish I had more time with him, but he’s in Chicago finishing up a Ph.D. in Theology, and I’m in Denver just starting a Ph.D. in Theology/Ethics. His reflection is [...]
Anne Dunlap on Who God is and How do we know?
Anne Dunlap is a thoughtful, deep-thinking, social justice type pastor. I’ve enjoyed connecting with Anne at La Communidad, a church plant of the United Church of Christ. But, to use social signifiers and situate Anne more concretely, she says herself the following: I am a 39-year old woman, although sometimes I feel like I’m 27. [...]
Deborah Creamer on Who God is and how do we know?
I have the pleasure and opportunity of working with Debbie Creamer. By far, she is one of the highlights of my time thus far at Iliff School of Theology. She is a professor and Associate Dean for the School of Theology. She is trained as a theologian who specializes in feminist theologies and is a [...]
