The Origins of Critical Race Theory
Explores the lives and intellectual influences of the creators of Critical Race Theory Critical race theory (CRT), a vital movement and discipline in American legal scholarship, has transformed our understanding of systemic racism. Yet despite insightful analysis revealing the threads of racism embedded in American institutions and society, it has been demonized by opponents at every turn, with numerous state legislators now seeking to ban its us…
Acknowledge the land
Western Christian theological support for resource extractivism is interwoven with theological support of settler coloniality. Christian theology is therefore an essential site for the defense of Indigenous land claims. Replacement theology, also known as supersessionism, should be understood as involving Jewish‐Christian‐Muslim relations and as imbricating the ideologies and theologies supporting political and material coloniality, including ext…
Critical approaches to Christian Zionism
In the context of American religious history up to the time of President Trump, this paper outlines various America Christian attitudes towards the State of Israel, and the roots of contemporary Christian Zionism and its influence on recent US policies towards the Holy Land
The unprecedented coupled ocean-atmosphere summer heatwave in the New Zealand region 2017/18
During austral summer (DJF) 2017/18, the New Zealand region experienced an unprecedented coupled ocean-atmosphere heatwave, covering an area of 4 million km2. Regional average air temperature anomalies over land were +2.2 °C, and sea surface temperature anomalies reached +3.7 °C in the eastern Tasman Sea. This paper discusses the event, including atmospheric and oceanic drivers, the role of anthropogenic warming, and terrestrial and marine impact…
Bonhoeffer Moment(s)
Recent claims that we live in a “Bonhoeffer Moment” traverse the ideological spectrum of the United States. This discourse, while enlightening, has unintentionally reproduced a limitation in Bonhoeffer’s own thought. In 1979, Gustavo Gutiérrez observed that “the absence of social analysis prevented Bonhoeffer from carrying his intuition to its mature theological implications.” Building on Gutiérrez’s observation, I propose a reading of Bonhoeffer…
Sanctifying the Settler-Colonial Gaze
American Christian pilgrimage to the Holy Land started within a historical and ideological context shaped by American territorial expansionism. The settler-colonial impulses informing that expansionism were carried to Palestine, where Palestinians were encountered as “savages” compared explicitly to American Indians. Erasure of the Holy Land’s Indigenous inhabitants is thus sanctioned. Herman Melville’s Clarel and Mark Twain’s Innocents Abroad re…
Comprehending Christian Zionism
The issue of Christian Zionism is one that is fiercely debated within theology, the church, politics, and society. Comprehending Christian Zionism brings together an international consortium of scholars and researchers to reflect on the network of issues and topics surrounding this critical subject. The volume provides a lens on the history of Zionism within Christian theology and offers a constructive, multidimensional path for assessment and in…
More Desired than Our Owne Salvation
This book shows that popular American affinity for the State of Israel draws from the taproot of apocalyptic hope informing American identity and national vocation from the revolutionary era to the present. The English Protestant tradition of Judeo-centric prophecy interpretation informing these American adaptations of apocalyptic hope was first developed in the early Elizabethan period and refined through the first half of the seventeenth centur…
Effects of instrumentation changes on sea surface temperature measured in situ
Measurements of sea surface temperature (SST) are an important climate record, complementing terrestrial air temperature observations, records of marine air temperature, ocean subsurface temperature, and ocean heat content. SST has been measured since the 18th century, although observations are sparse in the early period. Historically, marine observing systems relied on observations made by seafarers and necessary information on measurement metho…
