Episode: Edgardo Colón-Emeric on Hispanic Theology
Co-hosts Mickey and Bishop Todd welcome author and theologian Edgardo Colón-Emeric of Duke University to the podcast, in celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month. Edgardo highlights several theological practices within Hispanic cultures—fiesta, family, hospitality and the “holiness of the ordinary”—that the global body of Christ can embrace in their everyday lives.
Edgardo Colón-Emeric is dean of Duke Divinity School, Irene and William McCutchen Professor of Reconciliation and Theology, and director of the Center for Reconciliation. He is the author of Wesley, Aquinas, and Christian Perfection: An Ecumenical Dialogue (Baylor University Press, 2009) which received the 2008 “Aquinas Dissertation Prize Winner” from the Aquinas Center for Theological Renewal at Ave Maria University and Óscar Romero’s Theological Vision: Liberation and the Transfiguration of the Poor (Notre Dame University Press, 2018), which received first place in the 2019 Catholic Press Association award for books about newly canonized saints. Colón-Emeric has served as dean of Duke Divinity School since July 2021.
