Autorenporträt
Barnabas Aspray is Assistant Professor of Systematic Theology at St. Mary's Seminary and University, where he teaches doctrine of god, christology, ecumenism, interfaith relations, and fundamental theology. He is interested in the way Christian belief and practice interact with the concerns and questions of contemporary Western society and is committed to making theology accessible and relevant to everyday life outside academia. He is the founding host of the "Faith at the Frontiers" podcast. David Elcott was trained in political psychology and Middle East affairs at Columbia University and in Judaic studies at the American Jewish University. Dr. Elcott served as the Taub Professor of Practice in Public Service and Leadership at the Wagner School of Public Service at NYU, directing the advocacy and political action specialization. He is now a Columbia University-SUNY professor teaching incarcerated college degree students at a maximum-security prison as part of a program run by Hudson Link for Higher Education in Prison.
