Tom Berg Presents: "Obama's Theologian"

You can listen to (en edited version of) the Georgetown gathering this week on public radio's SPEAKING OF FAITH With Krista Tippet (here).  Check your local listings; the show plays in different locales on different days and at different times.

Obama's theologian, of course, is Reinhold Neibuhr.  One of the best scholarly interpreters of Niebuhr's "Christian relaism"--perhaps the best--is Robin Lovin, whose new book is available in paperback:  Christian Realism and the New Realities (Cambridge 2008) (here).
