Julia interviews Matt about his book on sin as emergent in Paul's letter to the Romans, and what on earth that might have to do with his work at Yale as assistant research scholar and director for the Life Worth Living Program. Matt Croasmun is an Associate Research Scholar and the Director of the Life Worth Living program at the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School and a Lecturer of Divinity and Humanities at Yale University. He is also a staff pastor at the Elm City Vineyard Church in New Haven, CT. Matt’s deepest passion is for teaching. He believes education should help us learn, most of all, what it means to be human and how to discern the nature of true life. Matt earned his B.A. in Music from Yale College and an M.A.R. in Bible from Yale Divinity School. After the Divinity degree, he and his wife Hannah spent a summer at the Akrofi-Christaller Institute in Akropong-Akuapem, Ghana, studying with the great African theologian, Kwame Bediako, whose work has profoundly impacted the way Matt sees theology and culture. Matt then returned to Yale for his Ph.D. in Religious Studies (New Testament). Matt has also authored numerous books including: Life Worth Living: A Guide To What Matters MostThe Emergence of Sin: The Cosmic Tyrant in RomansThe Hunger for Home: Food and Meals in the Gospel of LukeLet Me Ask You a Question: Conversations with JesusFor the Life of the World: Theology That Makes a DifferenceMatthew Croasmun
