Embodying Secular-Liberalism
Schirin Amir-Moazami's Interrogating Muslims operates on at least three levels of increasing specificity: an epistemological level (the knowledge-production of scholars and states), a disciplinary level (the co-constitution of religion, race, and nation that has been a topic of scholarly examination at least since Talal Asad's Genealogies of Religion (1993)), and the embodied interactions of the representatives of the liberal-secular German state…
Divine Variations
Divine Variations is about the relationship of Christianity to modern scientific accounts of human origins and human difference, particularly race. A consensus is emerging that race is largely an invention of Christian theology (see J. Cameron Carter, Race: A Theological Account, Oxford University Press, 2008; Willie Jennings, Christian Imagination: Theology and the Origins of Race, Yale University Press, 2011; and Theodore Vial, Modern Religion,…

But one cannot infer from Chomsky's work, for example, that because our language performance depends on a language competence, that therefore the best model for understanding utterances is that we formulate representations of sentences and then use our will to make them public. And a full theory of language must complement Chomsky's generative theory with an account of the situ ation in which we speak and the meaning of…
Opposites Attract
Analysis of a change in a historical rite of passage, the baptism ceremony in Zurich in the 1860s, shows the relative strengths and weaknesses of recent developments in the field of ritual studies. Those who argue that ritualized action is an embodied negotiation of power relations are helpful in understanding why various groups in society fought either for or against the ritual change. But the weak structural component of these theories and an i…
Friedrich Schleiermacher on the Central Place of Worship in Theology
Suspicion raised by the Neo-orthodox movement concerning Schleiermacher's theological enterprise continues to cast its shadow. Karl Barth framed this suspicion perspicaciously in terms of an “either/or” in his “Concluding Unscientific Postscript on Schleiermacher”: Is Schleiermacher's enterprise concerned (a) necessarily, intrinsically, and authentically with a Christian theology oriented toward worship, preaching, instruction, and pastoral care?…
