An Imperfect Pairing
Trained in Christian theology, religious studies, and literary theory in three British universities, I have taught an iteration of my Bible course in three US faith-based colleges and schools for over thirty years. I am lost without an annotated Bible and an eye for honest doubt. Each semester I have required my undergraduate students to read several biblical texts, stories with which they are probably familiar. But here, we begin to explore them…
Louis de Wohl
Using files declassified and released to Great Britain's National Archives, this article shows how Britain's domestic spy agency, MI5, recruited Louis de Wohl (1903-61), a flashy Hungarian astrologer and Christian writer to create horoscopes for Adolf Hitler during World War II.

Differences among Rastas in Ghana a…
Jesus of Nazareth in Ghana's Deep Forest
Kazantzakis among the postmoderns
Following Friedrich Nietzsche, Nikos Kazantzakis gives mythopoetic embodiment to a way of looking at life that anticipates what we now see — attention to evolution, language, truth, perspective, and world enthusiasm — in various postmodern philosophies of religion. To show this alliance, my essay facilitates a broad but illuminating exchange between Kazantzakis and recent postmodern thinkers from around the western-oriented world: John Caputo (No…
