"Christ rejects the riches and pomp of this world. From this, we conclude that those who gather up riches for themselves in his name slander him greatly since they use him to cloak their own greed and wantonness." - Zwingli's 67 Articles, #23

Parts of his system were assigned for an intro to ST course at Luther Seminary. So I think Lutherans still read him. I also see his work discussed by people who identify as "exvangelical" or who say they've "deconstructed" their faith. The PT society is still active. Otherwise, I'd be curious, too!

New video. A short look at Isaiah 53 and a few other texts to argue for the Bible's condemnation of the rich as wicked and inequality as unjust.

There's No Substitute for Time: AI, Education, and Liberation Theology - Stephen D. Morrison

Stephen D. Morrison @morrisonsdm.bsky.social · Jun 23

AI is a threat not only to theological education but to any movement striving for justice and liberation. We must actively resist it.

Stephen D. Morrison @morrisonsdm.bsky.social · Jun 19

In 1912, Karl Barth preached a fascinating sermon on the sinking of the Titanic where he blamed capitalism for the tragedy. I examine the sermon in my new video:

Gaza will be concentration camp, declares Netanyahu

I will be presenting a short paper at the Barth conference this year (during the concurrent sessions). It’s surreal to see myself on the conference page! My paper is called, “I Am Because We Are: Karl Barth and the Prison Letters of Leon Benson.”

Israel has announced Gaza's survivors will be driven into a concentration camp.

They will be left with a choice: leave Gaza, or die.

No genocide was so documented or confessed to as it actually happened 👇

His colleague, meanwhile, says Gaza will be destroyed. Genocide in plain sight

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda.

Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them.

I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

“There are certain types of government that cannot be condoned by the Christian: fascism, for instance. There is no analogy between fascism and the Kingdom of God.” - Karl Barth

(Sadly, this isn’t so obvious to every Christian today!)

Thanks for that! And yeah, I get being hesitant with all the mess going on. Unpredictable times. But if you do go, it’d be great to meet!

If previous attendees/presenters have any advice for a first-timer, I'd love to hear it! The whole conference feels overwhelming, but I am excited to meet a variety of scholars, many of whom I've looked up to or read from afar!
