Strategically Implementing the “Z” (for Zoom)-Option in Graduate Education: How Covid Helped Revivify a Sputtering MA Program in the Humanities
The Department takes a look at how academic programs in our field adapt to the changing landscape of higher education. In this edition, Carl Raschke shares how and why the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Denver developed a remote option for their M.A. program. The “Z”- Option, as they call it, addresses social, cultural, and economic trends in U.S. universities with a forward-thinking and researched proposal that should be on…
Neoliberalism and Political Theology: From Kant to Identity Politics
Shatters the common academic myth that neoliberalism is simply free market fundamentalism plus political conservatism Explains how neoliberalism is a regime of culture and values – far more than political economy Turns much of today's progressive politics upside down by showing that many of the would-be liberators are really the exploiters: as Marx and Engels declared, the 'ruling ideas' of our era must be unmasked as 'the ideas of the ruling cla…
"Religious Studies as Neoliberal "Triple Mediation: "Toward a Deconstruction of Its "Colonial Difference
This article makes the case, citing the work of David Chidester, Achille Mbembe, Tomoko Masuzawa, and Walter Mignolo, that the academic study of religion (often known as "religious studies" in the Anglophone world, Religionswissenschften or sciences religieuses in Continental Europe) remains both historically, and to a large extent contemporaneously, a "colonial" discipline derived from what Michel Foucault termed the structures of "power/knowled…
The Kingdom, the Power, the Glory, and the Tawdry: Neoliberal Hegemony and the “Undoing” of the Demos
This article explores Giorgio Agamben!s celebrated “double paradigm of sovereignty”, which introduces the Christian idea of oikonomia (“economy”) as a foundational political concept in Western thinking. It argues that Agamben!s far-ranging discussion improves our understanding of how Foucault!s notion of biopower actually develops historically from the matrix of early Christian theology and how it becomes its own kind of “political theology” to u…

Forget Schmitt! Political Theology Must Follow Agamben’s “Double Paradigm” of Sovereignty
It was the German juridical theorist and philosopher Carl Schmitt who gave us the term “political theology.” But Schmitt’s legacy has been, to say the least, both fraught and often underrepresented
Force of God: Political Theology and the Crisis of Liberal Democracy
For theorists in search of a political theology that is more responsive to the challenges now facing Western democracies, this book tenders a new political economy anchored in a theory of value. The political theology of the future, Carl Raschke argues, must draw on a powerful, hidden impetus—the “force of God”—to frame a new value economy. It must also embrace a radical, “faith-based” revolutionary style of theory that reconceives the power of t…

Globalization and Theology
The buzzword "globalization" has dominated academic discussions in philosophy and the social sciences for almost a quarter century now. But what do, or should, theologians have to say? This article first explores the controversy over the general meaning of the term "globalization", then discusses the somewhat recent historical tendency of theologians to contribute largely in a reticent or reactive way to the debates, and finally outlines three st…

The Human Potential Movement
“Elaborate attention and, frequently, adulation have been heaped on the movement by magazines and media. The popularity of the trend is confirmed wherever paperback books are sold. Visibility and popularity, however, do not necessarily certify the worth or soundness of the movement over the long haul. Interestingly, few theological critiques of the Human Potential Movement have appeared.”
Meaning and Saying in Religion: Beyond Language Games
So much commentary and discussion concerning the significance of religious language has been marketed for consumption during the two decades since Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations first altered the grounds of inquiry in contemporary philosophy of religion that any new contribution to the subject is apt to kindle as much excitement as the average Sunday sermon. The progressive exhaustion of the topic, it may be argued, has resulted larg…
