This is the third segment of my interview with Dr. Glenn Kreider, professor at Dallas Theological Seminary, about art and Christianity. In this part, we talk about facing the evilness in this world and bringing in the hope of the day when God will set everything right.

And we talk for a moment about Sweeney Todd, my favorite musical!

At seminary, while I learned much from my systematic theology classes, I probably learned more theology through my cultural anthropology and missions classes. I realized in those classes that theology is not static. Previously, I thought you learned theology then applied it to your life. As I studied the history of the Church, missions, and the global Church, I realized that theology is a conversation between God and humanity, and because humanity changes and is limited by culture, the shape of the conversation changes.
