How to Pursue Religious Depth with John D. Caputo (Part 2)

In our final episode of this season, Ilia Delio asks philosopher-theologian Jack Caputo more about religious depth in light of what he calls weak theology. Plus, Jack compares AI to angelology, and Ilia asks how theo-poetics can help us respond to the challenges posed by technology and the crises of our day.

ABOUT JOHN D. CAPUTO
