Why would a perfect God create an imperfect world?
Ancient Gnostics had a radical answer: He didn't.
The biblical creator was actually a flawed cosmic entity unaware of higher divine realms.

On October 31 1517, Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg.
I find the humanist Erasmus much more congenial than Luther, so I regret that the failure of a humanist inspired internal reform of the church empowered fanatics both Protestant and Roman Catholic .
Neither Rome nor Geneva but...

I've just finished reading Jonathan Spence's "The Memory Palace of Matteo Ricci", an inventively organized study of the life of a leading early Jesuit missionary in Ming China.
Now I want to read something substantial on the Rites Controversy.
Suggestions welcome!

#Sex, #Sin and #Christianity
This video explores the deep and often controversial relationship between sex, sin, and Christianity. Why has sexuality been so tightly controlled by religious teachings? How did natural human desires become labeled as sinful?

Abraham Lincoln knew the Christian Bible well, but surprisingly, he was never baptized or joined any church. His approach to religion was influenced by the diversity of religious communities in #Springfield, #Illinois, something I learned while doing research for the National Park Service at the Lincoln Home National Historic Site.

#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.

Rebel Hearts is a hidden gem. It tells the story of the radical Catholic nuns in 1960s Los Angeles whose faith, defiance and activism turned the Church upside-down. They marched at Selma with MLK and they still fight for social justice today. Their story is incredible and it will fill you and your students with hope and fire. 4/n

#AbrahamLincoln had a puzzling relationship to #religion. For several years, I researched the role of religion in his life for the Lincoln Home National Historic Site in #Springfield, #Illinois. In 2021, my research focused on religion in the early decades of Springfield’s history through the period of Lincoln’s residency there, which had a formative impact on Lincoln’s own religious faith.

This week I submitted the index for “Sacred Wonderland: The History of Religion in Yellowstone”—my final task before publication. I began work on the book more than 20 years ago, and at times I wasn’t sure it would get finished. But now, it’s done. I still hardly believe it.
The book will be published in July by University of Nebraska Press – more information at:
