Niki Wadinger Discusses the Work of Raymund Schwager on the RavenCast

Last updated on: September 8, 2017 at 12:26 pm By Adam Ericksen

I sat down with Niki Wadinger during the Colloquium on Violence and Religion to discuss the upcoming eight volume book series on the work of Raymund Schwager.

Sermon: Steeped in Mystery

Last updated on: September 7, 2017 at 10:25 am By Tom Truby

Pastors have a frequent question when they begin to discover mimetic theory. “That’s great. But how does it preach?” Reverend Tom Truby shows that mimetic theory is a powerful tool that enables pastors to preach the Gospel in a way that is meaningful and refreshing to the modern world. Each week, Teaching Nonviolent Atonement will highlight his sermons as examples of preaching the Gospel through mimetic theory. In this sermon, Tom explains how Jesus transforms our understanding of God. The disciples... Read more

How Do We Love Our Enemies and Those They Hurt at the Same Time?

Last updated on: September 11, 2017 at 7:32 am By Lindsey Paris-Lopez

The title question is not rhetorical, and I don’t have an easy answer. I am struggling with Jesus’s call to love both the “enemy” and the vulnerable at a time when the violent undercurrents that propel the United States on her reckless, destructive course are bubbling to the surface and erupting in conflict. I know that love is the only power that can transform hate. Yet, while the command to love neighbor and enemy alike is clear and the imperative... Read more

Who’s Responsible for Evil? – Exploring Thomas Merton, Hitler, and Kim Jong-un

Last updated on: September 8, 2017 at 7:13 am By Adam Ericksen

Thomas Merton was a young man during World War II. He was drafted by the military, but even as a young man, Merton didn’t want to kill in war. At this stage in his life, Merton thought WWII was a just war, so he applied for the status of “non-combatant objector.” This would allow him to serve in the medical corps, carry stretchers, or work in a hospital. He would do any of those things, he wrote, “so long as... Read more

Trump Pardons Arpaio – Are We at the “Bonhoeffer Moment”

Last updated on: September 7, 2017 at 10:30 am By Adam Ericksen

I have a conservative family member whom I love. We frequently discuss politics and religion. Over the years, his church has become more liberal than he is comfortable with, as some in his congregation believe we are at a “Bonhoeffer moment” in the United States because Trump has encouraged racism and white supremacy. “If they act on this ‘Bonhoeffer moment,’” he said, “then they better be right.” Are we at a Bonhoeffer moment? Donald Trump pardoned ex-sheriff Joe Arpaio last... Read more

In this episode of the RavenCast, I talk with Cesáreo Bandera at the Colloquium on Violence and Religion* about his friendship with René Girard.

How To Be a True Force for Peace

Last updated on: August 28, 2017 at 8:04 am By Adam Ericksen

President Trump delivered a speech on Monday night that broadly unveiled his Afghan war strategy. The war has lasted almost 16 years, the longest war in U.S. history. In his speech, Trump stated that, “We cannot remain a force for peace in the world if we are not at peace with each other.” This statement caught my attention because it’s partly true, but its partial truth makes it dangerously false. As my colleague at the Raven Foundation Lindsey Paris-Lopez recently... Read more
