Richard W. Swanson is Professor of Religion (Emeritus) at Augustana University. He has written several books, all of which have the phrase “provoking the gospel” in the title. His most recent project was the creation of a play (with Grace Ahles and Hanna Beshai). The title of the play is This Is My Body, a phrase that shows up in sacramental theology and in every #MeToo story you have ever heard.
