Abstract:

AbstractIn this interview Christian Joerges reconstructs his intellectual biography. A childhood marked, like that of his entire generation, by the Second World War, a harsh post-war period and, from an early age, a complex relationship with German identity on the shadow of Nazi crimes. A high school and university education in a Frankfurt where intellectual life is thriving amidst the ruins. And where a young Joerges discovers the beauty of theory thanks to Wiethölter. The experience in the United States where a pluralistic student movement is energised by the opposition to the Vietnam war. T

Abstract:

The political impact of Dr. Eleanor Lansing Dulles has not been assessed in her capacity as a power broker who brought her theological understandings to Cold War United States policy. The deep influence of both her brothers—Allen, Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, and John Foster, Secretary of State under Dwight D. Eisenhower—on global affairs and diplomacy has been the topic of myriad studies. Works draw extensively on family biography, noting that both “nature and nurture” brought religion to US foreign policy. Including Dr. Dulles in the analysis provides nuance and complexity to

Abstract:

AbstractBetween 1886 and 1931, Christian publishing houses in the United States offered an unprecedented biographical profile of the contemporary American evangelist as an unambiguously modern figure. Sold at tabernacle tents, Christian bookshops, and church fund-raisers, these texts simultaneously document concerns with the modern landscape as they regale readers with the styles and stories of headlining American Protestants, including Dwight Moody (1837–1899), Sam Jones (1847–1906), Reuben Archer Torrey (1856–1928), J.

Abstract:

This essay analyzes Pope Francis’ social teaching on relationality within his 2020 encyclical letter Fratelli tutti [Brothers all]. The relationship between the Church and modern nation-states is an important macro-level social dynamic, and Francis explains it by placing Church–State relations into a broader spiritual context of human communication and interaction. He articulates norms of fraternal contact growing from the bottom-up, that is, from interpersonal encounters through groups and movements on to countries and the United Nations.

Teaching historians often assign biography to supplement reading lists for the introductory survey classroom, even though selecting which life to share might be a difficult process. Biography represents a unique form of history and literature, inviting a reader to come to terms with the significance of human agency.

The single organizing fact of the Cold War was “the bomb.” In our present age of unipolarity, globalization, and the clash of civilizations, it is useful to remember that our current complexities exist only because the previous age of stark simplicity has passed into history. The decades from the end of World War II until the fall of Communism were years shaped by a nuclear standoff. The threat of nuclear conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union framed the politics and culture of the age. This framing was especially apparent in the 1950s and 1960s, before arms-control agreements

In this paper I outline what Christian nationalism is, how it is strongly correlated with the desire for a traditionalist social hierarchy, and how they are both strongly correlated to support for Trump.

This paper examines the influence of American Christian Zionism as a religious-political movement on changes in US-Israeli relations.

Nevertheless, the reasons for this support have a certain direction, finding supporters among ideologues of desecularization, religious extremists and anti-Semites, especially through the words of prominent pastors and leaders of th

Abstract:

Hispanic pluralism is a challenge for the Christian churches in this era of “New Evangelization” or “New Reformation.” This article addresses the identifiable issues of Hispanic identity, religiosity, and ecumenism as challenges of Hispanic pluralism that face the United States churches in their attempts to evangelize a cultural group that historically has received minimal pastoral attention. The author suggests that if these issues are dealt with effectively, the present configuration of the Christian churches in the United States could be greatly transformed.

Examination of their performance, agendas, and candidate profiles, coupled with survey data on British attitudes to mixing religion and politics, suggests that the major difference between the United States and Britain lies in the degree of secularizatio

Christian Nationalism is a phenomenon specific to US political culture.

Indeed, Russia has a long tradition of political Orthodoxy and entanglement between spiritual and temporal powers—what is called, in the Byzantine tradition, the symphonies of powers, or sobornost’ in Russian—that may take some contemporary forms similar to what

Through a commitment to ensuring sexual minorities are excluded from civil rights protections, white evangelicals have contributed to a cultural and legal landscape conducive to anti-LGBTQ structural violence.

Persecution, repression, and exile have defined their existence and history, and tens of thousands eventually left Burma and resettled in the United States after they had lived in India and Malaysia as refugees for years.

In the process, it makes two major points.

Abstract:

Anna Komnene’s account of the First Crusade in her work The Alexiad provides invaluable insight into the Byzantine perspective of this pivotal event defining the 11th century. While shunned in a monastery, she wrote her celebrated work known as The Alexiad. Anna’s primary motivation for writing the biography stems from her desire to emphasize the accomplishments of her father, especially in regards to protecting the Byzantine Empire against invaders, both Latin and Turkish. For Anna, the crusade functions as a Western pretext for taking land away from the Byzantines. Comparing specific sieges

Abstract:

It has become increasingly common for students and scholars to criticize Rawls’s work as irrelevant, or worse, when it comes to issues of race and justice. Though he clearly judges both structural and systemic racial hierarchy and interpersonal racial disrespect to be non-controversially unjust, Rawls does not much explore, either in his ideal theory or in his non-ideal theory, issues at the intersection of race and justice. In this essay, drawing from both his texts and biography, I highlight some of Rawls’s thoughts on, and the seriousness with which he approached, these matters. Though I do

Abstract:

Robert Adams celebrated his 70th birthday on July 23, 1996. Forty years ago American Antiquity published his first journal article, which helped launch a remarkable career. Adams has influenced not only fundamental aspects of social evolutionary theory and archaeological reconnaissance surveys but also the structure of support for science in the United States and abroad. At the 1996 meetings of the Society for American Archaeology, Adams was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal. This essay traces the intellectual influences on Adams, the progress of his fieldwork, and the exposition and dev
