Description
Résumé:Practical theology is inherently interdisciplinary. However, this interdisciplinarity is most often engaged through the intellectual work of a single person. In our work on “neighbor love,” the fields of social-cognitive psychology and practical theology have been brought together through the collaborative work of two scholars to better understand the dynamics of dehumanization, the opposite of neighbor love. Our work together has proved challenging and yet deeply rewarding as we have come to insights together that we never could have alone. In this article, we identify the specific places of tension within our project, highlight the insights that were made possible through our interdisciplinary collaboration, and propose a way forward that builds on methodological reflections from a similar, but failed partnership.
