Welcome!

Hello and welcome to the New Perspectives blog. 




The New Perspectives Reading Group


Anslem of Canterbury called theology 'faith seeking understanding'. The New Perspectives Reading Group is about understanding seeking integrity. We meet together once a month to:


- eat cake
- share experiences 
- discuss a short paper/book chapter
- figure out how to be theologians

We don't have a set book, or a set topic - we pick our readings from a variety of disciplines and areas, and suggestions are always welcome.  We want to think critically about what theology is, and what it's for, and what it means to be a good theologian.  We're particularly interested in liberationist, feminist, queer, black, womanist and mujerista theologies, and the questions these raise for us.  Anyone, from any discipline, is welcome.  Come and eat cake.  Bring your head and your heart.





Our first meeting is tonight, email new.perspectives.edin [at] gmail [dot] com for info.
