About this episode

The episode discusses the concept of sin with The Rev. Dr. Patrick Cheng, focusing on its implications for marginalized communities and his book on queer theology.

This is a rerun because we love this episode so much and want to listen to it again! The idea of "sin" has been weaponized, especially against marginalized folks. We've brought our colleague, friend, and brilliant theologian The Rev. Dr. Patrick Cheng to speak with us on sin, and why we're not giving up on the idea of sin even as liberated Christians. Father Patrick is a prolific writer, thinker, and leader in the church; in this episode, we're talking especially about his book, From Sin to amazing Grace: Discovering the Queer Christ. If you like this episode, read his books! And tell your friends! You can find more from Father Patrick on his website here: https://www.patrickcheng.net
