Welcome!

I’m Beth Felker Jones, and I teach theology at Northern Seminary, near Chicago, where theology meets real life in a vibrant, welcoming community. You can find my books here.

I also write fiction, exploring how stories make us human. I’m a word nerd with a sweet tooth, and I thrive on swapping book recommendations. I write best with a glass of cold Coca-Cola in hand and Dwight, my #theologycat, curled up next to me. He’s equal parts wisdom and fluff.

If you’re passionate about pursuing goodness, beauty, and truth, join me here for bookish musings, theological insights, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of life with a theology cat.
