Theology through Poetry

with Christian Wiman and Lauren Winner

How does poetry participate in the work of theology? What does theology offer the work of making and receiving poetry? What might poets and theologians need to learn from each other? Poet and author Christian Wiman and Professor Lauren Winner will touch on these questions in their conversation together. After an introduction to his work, Wiman will offer a reading of his poetry. The session will conclude with a discussion between Wiman and Winner about particular poems that speak powerfully to these questions.
