Why did Kevin Vanhoozer become a theologian? What is theo-drama and why did it prove to be the model Vanhoozer needed for his students? Is doctrine a guide for right performance of our holy script? Why is it so critical that theologians see every doctrine of the faith through a trinitarian lens? How should theology influence our interpretation of scripture?
In this new episode of the Credo podcast, Matthew Barrett is joined by Kevin Vanhoozer to discuss why Vanhoozer first became a theologian and what influenced him to rethink theology under the spotlight of performance.
