The Secular Pastoral
At a moment when the academic study of religion is as relevant as it has ever been for understanding civic life, political and economic forces mystify material relationships between religion and society, making it increasingly difficult for scholars to explain the relevance of the discipline to a public audience. But as the academic study of religion seems less intelligible to students at public universities, an increasing number of students are …

The business suit
This article invokes the analytical concept of transitional phenomena, as inspired by the psychoanalytical theories of Donald Winnicott, to develop a materialist model for comparing religion. Transitional phenomena are persons, places, or things that mediate material reality and discursive representation. The article focuses on the case study of the business suit at the 1893 World’s Parliament of Religions to show how the psychological duality of…

The System Will Not Be Labeled
This article examines the lack of transparent labeling for Genetically Modified ( gm ) foods to show how the marketing of biotechnology obscures the relationship between the production and consumption of industrial agriculture. On the side of production, biotech corporations directly market gm seeds to farmers, to promote brand loyalty and protect proprietary claims. On the side of consumption, however, the biotech industry resists labeling gm in…

Playing for God
Playing is believing. This is the central argument of Annie Blazer’s Playing for God, to date one of the best ethnographic studies of American evangelical lived experience. Focusing on women’s part
An Author Meets His Critics
Good teaching is a craft. It requires constant honing. While perfection eludes most of us most of the time, our best days are intellectually generative, meaningful, and often quite fun. I intend this essay as a gesture in that same spirit
Corporate Chaplaincy and the American Workplace
Corporate chaplains are religious ministers trained in pastoral care, most often clinical pastoral education, paid by a company or staffing agency to serve the emotional and spiritual needs of workers at their jobsite. In the early 21st century, the secular vocation of corporate chaplaincy is a growing business and a booming enterprise. This essay traces the historical development of corporate chaplaincy from its earlier industrial forms and argu…
Righteous Indignation
Pillars of Faith
The God Strategy
More than Belief
In the last two decades, a growing number of religious studies scholars have broadened their interpretive gaze beyond the study of sacred texts to include the study of lived religion or everyday religious practice. While that ethnographic turn has been widely celebrated within the discipline, particularly among those in the subfields of religion in the Americas, religion and transnational migration, and diaspora studies, few scholars have provide…
Allegories of Progress
This essay argues that the emergence of new factory systems and market cultures in the United States included the promotion of “industrial religion.” Industrial religion is a discourse that attributes suprahuman power to raw materials and the mechanical technologies employed to convert those materials into consumer goods. Through descriptions of coal production in the Appalachian Mountains, factory supervision in the South, and soap promotions in…
Parades and Processions
Since the early 1990s, the American South has changed drastically and Siler City, North Carolina reflects those changes. Like larger southern cities, Siler City has received a significant number of migrants from Latin America in a short amount of time. New migrants, many but not all of them Roman Catholic, bring diverse sets of ethnic, cultural, and religious practices to a town traditionally dominated by Baptists and Methodists. One of the most …
