Abstract
This short volume is the transcription of three interview sessions conducted with Robert (“Bob”) Doran and three colleagues in the second half of 2020. The three involved were two of Bob’s former doctoral students, Joseph Ogbonnaya and Jeremy Blackwood, and his technical assistant Gregory Lauzon. The conversations range from his early life, his major theological contributions in relation to the notion of psychic conversion, his magnum opus, Theology and the Dialectics of History, and his more recent project in systematic theology, the three-volume work The Trinity in History (the last volume published posthumously), as well as his pastoral work with people living with HIV in Toronto. For those of us who have benefited enormously from Bob’s theological contribution and shared many conversations and conferences with him, this is an insight into the person—to his life and passions—not just his ideas. Bob died some four months after the last of the interview sessions. The theological community can be grateful to the three editors for creating this personal memorial for a great theologian.
