Dr. Wirzba grew up in a Canadian farming community. He is now a philosopher, theologian, and gardener. We talk about how agriculture and connection to land can impact how we understand ourselves as humans who are connected to the world around us. BONUS: My parents let you in on some family memories.
This week we talk about how theology, philosophy, and ecology can be amazing conversation partners. When our food is packaged and purchased at a store, we think of the products of the earth as a commodity first and foremost. We are disconnected from the reality about food and the connections we have with nature and with creatures, so how does that change how we interact with the biblical text?
