  1. #Histodons and other scholarly #Humanities folks --

    Has anyone done any serious work on Charles Erskine Scott Wood's religious thought and life? (Or anti-religious, as the case may be...)

    I may be overlooking something obvious and don't have all my books with me... I could see him potentially surfacing in Leigh Eric Schmidt's work on religious liberalism, for instance, or maybe even Lears' No Place Of Grace.

    But off the top of my head, I don't recall anything extensive.

    Spent part of the morning reading excerpts from CESW's long poem "The Poet in the Desert," and while the work is super stodgy, the thought is fascinating, esp. alongside his "Heavenly Lectures." I'd love to read something that tries to place him in a broader intellectual/religious context.

    Any tips are welcome, feel free to boost.

  2. Have a student who is looking for access to Southern Baptist Convention constitutions and bylaws from the 1970s but is having trouble finding them, in physical or digital formats.

    Anyone know where they might look, or what (exactly) to look for?

  3. In a gesture of procrastination, I grabbed this book of Jonathan Z Smith interviews off the shelf and started reading. I have owned it for a while but never read it - and the first interview (from UChicago's newspaper in 2008) has me over here absolutely rolling on the floor w/laughter.

  4. Ok, I'm thinking that I'm going to write a series of posts about #deconstruction and #reconstruction of faith and belief. Should I do an accompanying #podcast series and/or video series?

    Tell me dear
    #fediverse what should I do?

  5. CW: TLDR: has anyone done any work toward a reception history of Bonhoeffer?

    The long version:

    In the Secular City Debate volume (1966), in addition to a response to the collected essays from others, Harvey Cox also offers a short essay: "Beyond Bonhoeffer - The Future of Religionless Christianity."

    In it, Cox suggests Bonhoeffer foreshadowed and was enlivened by many of the issues animating/bedeviling American theologians in the radical 1960s. But what's interesting is that Cox is a bit embarrassed to suggest Bonhoeffer as an important source to continue to study and learn from (quote on next toot):

  6. The only link I could think of, regarding Passover and Qingming crossover that’s happening today is ancient graves of ancient Egyptian royalty.
    (By the way, The Pyramids were not built by slaves!)

  7. Is there already a consensus on whether MDPI’s journal “religions” should be considered predatory? @religion #religiodons

  8. The moment you realize that you have a legitimately good reason to assign some #PhilipGlass listening in a non-music class -- that is a good moment!

    Using Glass's #Akhnaten opera in a #History of #WorldReligions
    survey with hopes that it will encourage students to also think critically about stories/metanarratives of #Religion and our participation in its construction as students/scholars. We'll enjoy the main Hymn to the Sun aria but also use its presentation, along with the discussion of Akhnaten in the #AriaCode podcast and our course readings, to consider what story is being told about religion more generally -- and what other possibilities are perhaps obscured by those choices.

    Trying to find ways to infuse a critical approach with some subtlety (i.e. no/few theoretical readings, minimal jargon).

    The Aria Code podcast episode on the Akhnaten Hymn is one of my favorites of the series!

  14. Is there any connection between the fact that both #Channukah and #Christmas are marked/begin on the 25th of the month (December and Kislev respectively)? Connected to Sol Invictus perhaps? #Judaism #Christianity #Religiodons

  15. Huh, just received a notification that our project “metaphors of #religion” is now on Mastodon. Whoever was behind this, shout-out to my great colleagues at @sfb1475! #religiodons
