Christianity as a Way of Life with Prof. Kevin Hector

In this episode we are joined by Professor Kevin Hector, who is Naomi Shenstone Donnelley Professor of Theology and of the Philosophy of Religions at the University of Chicago Divinity School, to talk about his new book, Christianity as a Way of Life: A Systematic Theology (published by Yale University Press). Over the course of our conversation, Prof. Hector explains how his systematic theology is fairly unique because it attempts to account for Christianity as it is lived out in the lives of everyday Christians. As such, we talk at length about some of the key practices that are central to understanding Christianity as a way of life, including eating together, singing together, and more.
