Jon Paul Sydnor is author of The Great Open Dance: A Progressive Christian Theology. The Great Open Dance offers a pastoral theology that celebrates our passage through time as movement toward the inclusive, egalitarian, and universalist Reign of Love. He is also Professor of Theology and Religious Studies at Emmanuel College and theologian-in-residence at Grace Community Boston. When not reading or writing, Jon Paul plays chess, soccer, and guitar, all with stunning mediocrity.
