Is Basil Wrong? On Teaching Historical Theology

Last updated on: October 18, 2024 at 9:54 am By Adam Renberg

Basil of Caesarea is often praised as a champion of the Holy Spirit, defending his divinity against the Macedonians and the Eunomians in his On the Holy Spirit. And my students gleaned as much, as we read the text together a few weeks ago. But this was not the only reading under discussion that day—students also read Gregory of Nazianzus’ Epistle 58. In this letter to Basil, Gregory records an embarrassing situation that arose during a dinner party—after someone praised... Read more

The real ghouls? The Evangelical Voter

Last updated on: October 22, 2024 at 10:08 am By Erica Ramirez

Good society is generally certain there is something wrong with the mentality of evangelicals. We’re only weeks before an election that could see Donald Trump back into the Oval, but the verdict is already in on evangelicals. They think wrong and vote wrong. Should Trump win, left leaning outlets of the press will lay heft blame at the feet of evangelicals (though Trump also draws the Catholic vote by a slim majority) –lamenting that so many religious actors could fail...

Forging Franciscan History: Nahuas, Games & Devotional Texts

Should those of us who work on religious history, particularly Christian texts from the past, consider publishing devotional as well as scholarly editions of our work? Friars Quarters and Conference Meeting Rooms, Mission Santa Barbara This is a question I asked myself last weekend during “‘In the Footsteps of “the Twelve’: The 500th Anniversary of the Franciscan Arrival in Mexico,” a conference at Mission Santa Barbara sponsored by the Academy of American Franciscan History, a research institute affiliated with the...

How a Mediterranean Spiritual Movement Went Global

This column represents a contribution to Hispanic Heritage Month, and before anyone mentions it, I am a couple of days past the deadline. Bear with me. The topic matters! I teach at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. When I first explored the neighborhood where I live, I naturally visited a pretty Catholic church with the romantic name of St. Francis on the Brazos, and I saw something there that amazed me. A plaque on this nondescript church recalls that this... Read more

Preface I am currently in the third year of my PhD program in history, which means I am studying for my comprehensive exams. To non academics, this is a time when one reads more than is possible, attempting to retain as much as one can. At the end of the process, four professors will test me to ascertain if I am qualified to be called an expert in the four fields I am studying. For me, these fields are Colonial... Read more

America’s Other Universities

Last updated on: October 8, 2024 at 4:02 pm By Thomas Albert Howard

As anti-Israel protests convulsed American campuses in the spring semester—reappearing this fall—one might be forgiven, judging from the headlines, for thinking that the Ivy League and a handful of major state universities constitute the entirety of American higher education. Not infrequently, even commentators on these events hailed from the same set of schools. But accepting this view distorts reality. America’s experiment in ordered liberty has, in fact, generated a rich tapestry of smaller and mid-size private colleges and universities—a notable... Read more

Is Decline Real?

Last updated on: October 10, 2024 at 10:17 pm By Lisa Clark Diller

Nothing sets me off in the classroom like discovering the students’ textbooks have referred to the “decline of the Ottoman Empire” or “the decline of the Islamic societies.” I’m sure I can blame taking an entire class in graduate school called “The Decline of the Spanish Empire” whose purpose was to deconstruct what decline means and demonstrate that there are few ways of measuring it with any precision. Decline implies fault. Hidden within the discussion is the idea that if... Read more

You Want It Darker: Leonard Cohen and October 7, 2023

We decided to put our two sons in swimming lessons last Fall. The boys always seemed like fish out of water, but we still wanted them to gain more confidence in their aquatic abilities. I usually took a book with me when I drove them to their lessons. Early October last year I decided to read Matti Friedman’s book Who by Fire: Leonard Cohen in the Sinai about Cohen’s trip to Israel during the 1973 Yom Kippur War. As I... Read more
