Ep. 149 Bregman and Wettstein: Why is Death Important to Our Spirituality?

Before going off-air for the month of April, the In Good Faith podcast is foreshadowing their future episode format. With two guests per episode and an intermediate producers chat, you can expect great things! In this episode, Steve talks with Lucy Bregman and Howard Wettstein. Intermittent thoughts are offered by senior producer Heather Bigley and student producer Lia King. Lucy Bregman received her B.A. from Brown University, her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago Divinity School and taught at Temple University’s Religion Department in Philadelphia PA until her retirement in 2019. She taught a course on “Death and Dying” for undergraduates, and mentored graduate students to teach in this area. Howard Wettstein holds a B.A from Yeshiva University and a Ph.D. from City University of New York. He is currently a Professor of Philosophy at UC Riverside. His main research areas are the philosophy of language and the philosophy of religion.
