A helpful review from Jamie Smith of Schuringa's "A Social History of Analytic Philosophy." This gets at some of my skepticism around the increasing prominence of Analytic Theology (at least in my circles) as a sort of safe, conservative mode of achieving intellectual rigor. tinyurl.com/36n3urr8

I don’t have many (any) political answers to the sweeping changes to immigration policy we've seen this past week, but I am grieved that so many of us in the Christian church seem to be missing the heart of Christ in these conversations. So, I wrote about it.

Congratulations to the JWHC's own Dr. Lanta Davis! I know her!

More from me over on substack, this time on churches and renewal and whether "becoming a movement again" is even a particularly good goal for a denomination. open.substack.com/pub/deolaude...

New Kendrick just before the holiday? God is good.

I'm thinking a bit this week (over on my substack) about my own tendency to avoid conflict by sticking to the Center, at least publicly. open.substack.com/pub/deolaude... #theology #newtobluesky
