Episode 189 - Liberation Theology, Drugs, and the Americas with Dr. Bill Walker: Part 1

Who's ready for some Theology revolving around the Drug War: Globalization, Violence, and Salvation?

Based on Dr. Bill Walker's book, “A Theology of the Drug War” (2019), this 2 part podcast is a political and theological reflection on the violence and injustice that has taken place in Mexico and Central America since 2006 as a result of the drug war. In order to understand and respond to this conflict in the age of globalization, Dr. Walker presents a theology of the drug war that transcends both a Eurocentric conception of the world and a merely political account of salvation.

So, get ready! Grab a drink, bust out those earbuds, & get situated, friends!

Bill Walker currently serves as the Director of Hill House, a Christian Study Center in Austin. Dr. Walker is a lecturer in theology and ethics at Baylor University and Truett Theological Seminary. He received his PhD in philosophy of religion and theology from Claremont Graduate University and his MDiv from Truett Seminary. His research interests include political theology, economic ethics, and postcolonial studies.
