On Monday, April 12, Wilson College will host the 2010 Orr Forum on Religion: Toward a Theology for the 21st Century, with Dr. Douglas F. Ottati of Davidson College. Professor Ottati was selected as this year's Orr Scholar for his work in contemporary theology and ethics. He is the author of Jesus Christ and the Christian Vision, Reforming Protestantism: Christian Commitment in Today's World, Hopeful Realism: Recovering the Poetry of Theology,and Theology for Liberal Presbyterians and Other Endangered Species. He was recently elected the President of the Society of Christian Ethics for 2010. His Orr Lectures will stem from his current work in developing a two-volume systematic theology deeply informed by the Christian tradition but also responsive to contemporary concerns and insights.
