Here are comments about Vital Theology from some of our readers:

“In the current U.S. religious milieu of ideological poison and dumbing down, Vital Theology is a breath of fresh air. It features reliable and daring interpreters engaged with hard and urgent issues. The journal insists that thinking clearly belongs to responsible faith. Its offer is a welcome and hopeful presence among us.”

Walter Brueggemann
William Marcellus McPheeters Professor Emeritus of Old Testament

“Vital Theology offers an excellent way for ministers, lay people, and academics to take advantage of the sharpest Christian thinking on the most pressing moral and cultural issues of our time, yet without wearisome treatises, but rather by way of pithy and pointed reports.”

Ralph C. Wood
University Professor of Theology and Literature
Baylor University

“Vital Theology is doing a great job bridging the gap between scholars and those that scholars ultimately serve—the church as a whole, and the broader culture. Here some of the most important currents of contemporary theological and ethical thought are explored and communicated in an accessible way. I highly recommend this tool.”

David P. Gushee
Distinguished University Professor of Christian Ethics
McAfee School of Theology at Mercer University

“Vital Theology is theologically creative and culturally relevant. Best of all, the articles are edgy, thoughtful, and fun. I look forward to reading future issues.”

Douglas A. Hicks
Associate Professor of Leadership Studies & Religion
Jepson School of Leadership Studies
Director, Bonner Center for Civic Engagement

“If God is real and alive, nothing could be more important to understanding and engaging our world than to realize how God might be at work in it. Too often, however, theologians talk mainly to one another, and journalists rarely think about God. Vital Theology vitally and theologically addresses this vacuum, bringing keen thought about God to bear on the pressing issues of the day. We have waited too long for a newsletter just like this.”

Rodney Clapp
Editorial Director
Brazos Press

"In this era of increasing stridency -- even violence -- among the adherents of the world's major religions, a voice of calm reason has come on the scene in the form of Vital Theology, taglined "Helping People Think Theologically."
