My latest: a review of Ross Douthat’s new book, in CT
A link to my review of Douthat’s new book on religion in Christianity Today.
Conversions, Protestantism, and a new mainline
Reflections on the appeal of Catholicism rather than Protestantism to public intellectuals as well as the possibility of a new conservative Protestant mainline in America.
A therapeutic church is an atheist church
Reflecting on recent writing by Richard Beck and Jake Meador on functional atheism and the therapeutic turn in contemporary church life and teaching.
Religious theism or irreligious atheism
Timothy Jackson teaches Christian ethics at Emory University. I was fortunate enough to take a class with him when I earned my MDiv at Candler School of Theology, the Methodist seminary on campus. I’m currently reading his latest book for a review I’ll write later this month; the book is about the Shoah, anti-Semitism, and Christian supersessionism.
