Dr. Paul Hoard, PhD, professor at Seattle School of Theology, will lead a virtual reading/consultation group beginning Friday, October 16, 2026. This 8-session series explores Eucontamination: Disgust Theology and the Christian Life, a book co-authored by Paul Hoard and Billie Hoard. The group is open to clinicians, theologians, clergy, and students, and no prior session attendance is required.
This reading group examines how disgust psychology has shaped Christian theology and practice, often reinforcing fear, exclusion, and protectiveness rather than the radical welcome modeled by Jesus. Drawing on psychoanalytic theory and theological reflection, the series will move chapter by chapter through the book with short presentations and open discussion, inviting theological, psychological, and personal reflection.
