Director's Insights
Dr. William Storrar shares his insights on the life and work of CTI.
|
In my Director’s Insights video this month I am delighted to tell you about our Spring Research Workshop on Religion and the Natural Environment. Twelve workshop members are meeting digitally in a weekly seminar, sharing work in progress. Our research group is both international and interdisciplinary, and includes our first ever Artist in Residence, as well as policymakers on environmental issues.
In this issue of our newsletter, you can also learn more about one of the research scholars in our natural environment workshop, Mark Douglas, hear an excellent podcast with Yale architect Kyle Dugdale, as well as join three authors discussing Architecture After Abraham in our March webinar series.
Spring is on its way in Princeton, not least here at CTI.
Thank you for you continuing interest and support.

THEOLOGY MATTERS PODCAST
Raising Theology's Relevance on Global Concerns

Architecture as a Recurring Figure in the Biblical Narrative
Season 5, Episode 4
Kyle Dugdale, Architect & Historian and Lecturer at Yale, discusses with host Josh Mauldin two areas of his research: Why do we return to the Tower of Babel throughout our history? And, how the notion of the modern city being godless is not necessarily true; we have simply shifted our devotions to other authorities who influence our lives as the old gods did.

MEET THE TEAM ON RELIGION & THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
Member Highlight: Mark Douglas
|
|
Every year, CTI convenes a cohort of scholars in theology and other disciplines from around the world to collaborate on an issue of global concern. During the current academic year, 2021-22, CTI is focused on the issue of the natural environment, exploring how resources from religious and theological traditions might be brought to bear on ecological issues. We will be highlighting Members of this Inquiry Team monthly. |

Mark Douglas is a Professor of Christian Ethics at Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Georgia, whose research and writing focuses on the intersection of environmental issues and conflict studies. Over the past decade, Douglas has been writing a three-volume project exploring the impacts of climate change on war from a Christian theological perspective. His first volume has been published by Cambridge University Press: Christian Pacifism for an Environmental Age (2019), and the second volume on the just war tradition and the environment is now in press with CUP.
“Once completed,” Douglas explains, “the trilogy will, I believe, cap a project that reaches a wide academic audience and shapes conversations for years to come as the need to attend to the intersections of environmental crises, violence, and religion becomes increasingly pressing in the Anthropocene.”

Our Mission:
We convene leading thinkers in an interdisciplinary research environment where theology makes an impact on global concerns, and we share those discoveries to change the way people think and act.
