Looking forward to reading this for review — Christian Churches & Postwar Society
(Cool cover image, and nice title font… not a very readable combination of the two, though!)

I wish people would stop using the word "think tank" when they mean "advocacy organization."
There are some edge cases, I'll grant, but come on people.

This is a great book (so far - I’m ~100pp in) for untangling an important philosophical-theological conversation.

Many downsides of No Kings rally skewing older here but someone blasting Dylan Guthrie CCR etc from their truck is not one of them.

We were literally hiding from the excavator on the opposite side of the mound that it was piling earth.
Lots of mosquitoes there too!

I remember there was a construction site down the street from us and we’d literally climb down the mud pit when they dug the foundation but before they poured the concrete and play around down there.
No, This ls Not Exaggeration!

An excellent new paper on Du Bois and economics. I'll be presenting with Guy and Sandy Darity on a Du Bois panel at the History of Economics Society at the end of the month for anyone that will be in attendance.

This ends up feeling like, often, MODERNITY (esp LATE MODERNITY) is the real thing enslaving us, rather than Sin and Death, of which there are distinct modern forms. The deep RETVRN vibes fail to seem to see that there were as many culturally embedded manifestations of sin and death in all pasts.

I love being part of committees at my church. My mission in life is to get you to believe that church committees are the heartbeat of the Spirit’s in-breaking, covenant keeping, kin-dom inaugurating, cosmic reconciling love. Power must always remain in the pew!

Looking forward to this summer project… review essay on three recent studies on Charlemagne and religious politics.

Theologians need to stop using words like “unreservedly” or “robustly” or whatever. Just do what you’re going to do and we can decide how trinitarian or Nicene or whatever you are. Those adverbs aren’t going to stop the naysayers from criticizing you as unorthodox, in any case.

Disappointing to see that Troeltsch isn’t mention at all in this paragraph about Weber’s circle in Max Weber at 100.
Joas’s chapter, thankfully and unsurprisingly, is the only one that mentions Troeltsch (according to the index).

Looking forward to reviewing this book. Honestly not sure what I’ll think of it, based on the description I’ve read. Timely topic in any case, whether they’re wrong about it or not. 😂

Two books I always need a copy of at home and at the office because I never know when I’ll find myself needing to refer to them: Critique of Pure Reason, and the Glaubenslehre.

This is timely as I finish up my reply to your book… I downplay what I describe as a “premeditated communitarian scheme to rewrite history” in evangelicalism & argue it is generally more reactive/haphazard, but of course you’re right that in important cases it really is a scheme to rewrite history.
When I wrote Who Is a True Christian? I devoted a section to discussing Trump's EO establishing the 1776 Commission, DeSantis's Stop WOKE Act, and the Dobbs decision—all examples of a mythmaking distortion of history that Christianity had long perfected in its quest for historical continuity.

My wife just ran across this on a random fb reel and I was super proud to say “I know that dude, you know.”

We’ve had a ton of great submissions for our Faithful Resistance call for @earthandaltarmag.com, but I’d still love some pieces looking at direct antecedents to American Christian Nationalism including Dominionism, the Seven Mountains Movement, Christian Identity, and slaveholder religion.
