I Want Them to Question. I Just Didn’t Want Them to Question the Faith!”
Religion” and the Human Thing
Paleolithic cosmos-dwellers likely understood their environment in an integrated fashion–the realm of the gods and the realm of everyday life were not two separate spheres of activity. Religion has been abstracted in modern thought into a set of beliefs, practices, or activities that reside “outside” of or aside from the natural world in which human beings live. This abstraction makes it difficult to fully imagine how pre-modern humans conceived …

Religion and Foreign Affairs
The recent rediscovery in the study of international relations that beliefs, practices, and communal relations rooted in religious traditions play a role in the complex, interdependent world of nations has led to a plenitude of new monographs, essay collections, and journal articles in the general area of “religion and international relations.” Not surprisingly, what that role of religion might be, what the important questions are, and how to int…
Beyond Secularization
“Religion” has retaken a front seat in the news. Its presence in the media is echoed in the concerns of policymakers, whence it is more strongly felt again in the thinking and writing of social scientists. Concerning religion, “resurgence” is a word that shows up in many a social science title of late. For scholars such as sociologist Rodney Stark, this language is merely further evidence of a deep-seated secularist inattention in the social scie…
Realism, Narrative, and Happenstance
Neorealism and some versions of realism seek to furnish nomothetic theories of the international system at the same time that they also strive to prescribe policy for political leaders. Insofar as practical advice is insufficiently articulated by means of either nomothesis or the structural theoretical framework that (neo-)realist paradigms supply, these two aspirations seem contradictory. This essay is an examination of what contemporary realism…

Theological and Secular Meta‐Narratives of Politics
Until recently, scholars both friendly and hostile to Anabaptism have agreed that its origins and development to the present time could be rendered in a coherent, continuous narrative, making Anabaptist identity relatively unproblematic. This consensus has broken down. The present essay seeks to show how newer, ostensibly “objective” social‐science accounts of Anabaptism in fact offer a secular counter‐narrative to the Anabaptists’ accounts of th…
Locating a Moral/Political Economy
A growing number of scholars now assert that economic activity cannot be understood fully apart from the moral core beliefs that inform it. This article supports these contentions by examining the sixteenth-century Anabaptists' conception of political economy. Starting from a unique political theology, the Anabaptists offered an alterntive to the economic conceptions of both nascent free-market liberalism and magisterial Christianity in both its …
Anamnetic Tales
Although “story” and “narrative” are frequently mentioned in Voegelin's account of the structure and dynamics of human consciousness, neither he nor his commentators have closely analyzed in a direct fashion the importance of these terms to that account. This article examines their significance to Voegelin's extended analysis
On Being Ethical Without Moral Sadism
In the Platonic dialogues, The Apology of Socrates and Crito, Socrates teaches his Athenian audience generally and his friend, Crito, specifically, an important lesson: individual survival is not the highest good nor the highest purpose for human beings. Other human ends and purposes may supersede it. Principled integrity or obedience to a deliberately accepted ethics may be higher ends than physical survival itself.1 This essay explores one of t…
Science, Philosophy, and Resistance
When and in what way does it make sense to think of philosophical and scientific activity or simply the act of thinking as acts of resistance to political corruption? This article examines Eric Voegelin's extended answer to that question. Voegelin gradually developed a conception of scientific inquiry that distinguished between science, philosophy, and the wider context within which these activities take place. He showed thereby that scientific i…
