Theology

“Most striking was [Gorsuch’s] ability to join theology into conversation with other intellectual disciplines in a way that allowed for mutual illumination, without permitting any one side to dominate the interaction. The thesis brought together an impressive array of non-theological disciplines, in order to explore their potential resonance with theology around his central theme of modes of relationality. He showed an astonishing ability to empathise with and ‘inhabit’ the logical and conceptual world of each and an impressive maturity in avoiding simplistic reductions of each to some common language.”
