“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist.” — Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

My #AARSBL25 paper 2 had a full room at 8:30am on the final morning of this year’s American Academy of Religion. Grateful for a lively and engaging Q&A, supportive colleagues and many guests and new friends. My paper, “The American Theology of Winning: Trump, Peale, and the Metaphysical Tradition,”

Thank you to the Reverend Dr. Sarah Jobe for her field-making ethnography on prisons and prison chaplaincy and to Ryan Schellenberg and friends at Chaplaincy Innovation Lab for gathering such an incredibly talented panel, with Drs. Jerusha Neal, Shelly Rambo, and Jason Evans. #AARSBL25 #SBLAAR25

See you all soon 🎟️ #aarsbl25 #sblaar25 @aarweb.bsky.social @sblsite.bsky.social
