DIVINANIMALITY FF66339900..iinnddbb ii 77//2233//1144 1111::5599::1166 AAMM This page intentionally left blank TRANSDISCIPLINARY THEOLOGICAL COLLOQUIA Theology has hovered for two millennia between scriptural metaphor and philosophical thinking; it takes fl esh in its symbolic, communal, and ethi- cal practices. With the gift of this history and in the spirit of its unrealized potential, the Transdisciplinary Theological Colloquia intensify move- ment between and beyond the fi elds of religion. A multivocal discourse of theology takes place in the interstices, at once self-deconstructive in its pluralism and constructive in its affi rmations. Hosted annually by Drew University’s Theological School, the colloquia provide a matrix for such conversations, and Fordham University Press serves as the midwife for their publication. Committed to the slow trans- formation of religiocultural symbolism, the colloquia continue Drew’s long history of engaging historical, biblical, and philosophical hermeneu- tics, practices of social justice, and experiments in theopoetics.
