#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.

The New Apostolic Reformation represents a significant and controversial development within the charismatic renewal movement. It has roots in the political engagement of Falwell’s Moral Majority and the theological framework established by C. Peter Wagner. As with all religious movements, it is important to study its impacts and implications with a critical and informed perspective. #NAR #HistoricalTheology #ChristianNationalism #CharismaticMovement #Dominionism #USReligiousHistory #Project2025

When I taught History of Pentecostalism, I covered the New Apostolic Reformation in one section of my lectures on the charismatic renewal movement.
