Join us as we chat with Dr. David Nikkel, Professor and Chair of the UNCP Department of Philosophy and Religion. Dr. Nikkel shares his love of teaching, and his work with our students, helping them practice thinking critically as they are introduced to the writing of leaders and philosophers across the world’s religions. An active Pastor, Dr. Nikkel earned his Bachelor of Arts from Yale University, a Master of Divinity from Methodist Theological School (Delaware, Ohio), and his Doctor of Philosophy from Duke University.
A University of North Carolina Board of Governors’ Award for Teaching Excellence recipient, Dr. Nikkel has published twenty peer-reviewed journal articles or chapters, in addition to his book, Radical Embodiment. More than 1000 libraries hold copies of this book, which discusses embodiment in religion, and the concept of panentheism. From the original Greek meaning ‘all in God,’ this idea illustrates the belief that the divine is found in all aspects of creation, which Dr. Nikkel discusses in this episode. Join us as we step into the classroom with Dr. Nikkel to discuss his career sharing belief systems, and their importance in our lives, with students and the community.
