Thandeka [1][2] is a Unitarian Universalist minister, an American liberal theologian,[3] and the creator of a contemporary affect theology.
Thandeka's affect theology grounds religious knowing in human feeling,[4] combining concepts from nineteenth-century theologian Friedrich Schleiermacher with insights from affective neuroscience.[5] Thandeka is the founder and CEO of Love Beyond Belief, a non-profit organization.
