Making Trouble with Tickle, McLaren, and Winner

Since I posted last week, we’ve made a couple changes to the next D.Min. cohort that I’ll be leading. I booked Phyllis Tickle to co-teach year one, and Lauren Winner and I will co-teach year three in New York City. Here’s the rundown:

Year One (May 11-20, 2015, Los Angeles)
The History and Theology of Christian Spirituality
Tony Jones with Phyllis Tickle

By surveying the history, practice, and traditions of Christian Spirituality, students will begin their exploration of spirituality and the development of their theology of Christian spirituality.

Year Two (TBD 2016, Minnesota)
Christian Spirituality and the Doctrine of Creation
Tony Jones with Brian McLaren (tentative)

In the second year, the class will meet in Minnesota and explore the connection between Christianity spirituality and nature during a one-week trip into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, with a special emphasis on Jürgen Moltmann’s theology of creation.

Year Three (TBD 2017, New York City)
The Spirituality of Creativity
Tony Jones with Lauren Winner

The nexus of Christian spirituality, creativity, and culture will be the theme of the third year, with a focus on cultural hermeneutics and explorations in literature, art, and film from a Christian perspective.
