What are your favourite examples of theological themes in pop culture? Could be music, film, tv, anything at all... Crowdsourcing ideas for a lecture I'm giving later this term. Would love to hear yours! 🎶🍿📺

Simone Weil died on August 24, 1943 aged just 34 years. 81 years after her death, there is a renaissance in Weil scholarship ongoing. Watch this space for more events soon!

It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of E. Jane Doering, a member of our community for over 30 years and an influential and artful scholar of Simone Weil's thought.

David Bentley Hart’s new book, ‘All Things Are Full of Gods’, a 500+ page Socratic dialogue, is out today: 27th August—Hegel’s birthday. Is this a coincidence or signifying the completion of the system of German idealism?

I am continually fascinated by the postmortem cancelling of Weil. Most attempts rest on what seem wilful misreadings of paradox as contradiction. Paradox -- esp. Weil's way of welding it -- is *really* hard to do well and even harder to parse adequately. Cf. Blanchot on Weil.

As the academic study of religion was developing in the late 19th c, European and Euro-American Protestant scholars constructed hierarchies with Indigenous religions at the bottom. One of the ways they justified this was the purported lack of ethics among Indigenous traditions.
