Books - Polyglossia

A series intended for conversation among academics, ministers and laypersons regarding knowledge, beliefs and the practices of the Christian faith.

It is a form of theological reflection that blends patient vulnerability and hermeneutical charity with considered judgment and informed criticism. The books in this series will emerge out of conversations with contemporary movements in theology, as well as philosophy, political theory, literature, and cultural studies.
