Amorous Entanglements
Panentheism and Process Theism
This article examines the relationship between the concept of panentheism and process theism, a theological movement inspired by the philosophies of A. N. Whitehead and Charles Hartshorne. Following a brief account of process thought, process theism is defined in terms of two key claims: 1) God is essentially dynamic and interrelated with the world, rather than changeless and independent of the world; and 2) divine power is essentially persuasive…
Political Theology on Edge
In Political Theology on Edge , the discourse of political theology is seen as situated on an edge—that is, on the edge of a world that is grappling with global warming, a brutal form of neoliberal capitalism, protests against racism and police brutality, and the COVID-19 pandemic. This edge is also a form of eschatology that forces us to imagine new ways of being religious and political in our cohabitation of a fragile and shared planet. Each of…
Nightmares of a Dying World and the Dream of a Counter-Apocalypse
In common parlance, an apocalypse refers to a calamity that signals the end. It represents a closure. But the original meaning in the biblical Greek is the opposite. Apocalypse means "revelation" or disclosure. It offers hope, not despair. For the early Christians facing persecution by the Roman Empire, hope was disclosed in a coded narrative that showed the hidden weakness of their tormentors. The "beast" of imperial power and the "great whore" …
Can governments push providers to collaborate? A comparison of hospital network reforms in France and the United States
Common Goods
In the face of globalized ecological and economic crises, how do religion, the postsecular, and political theology reconfigure political theory and practice? As the planet warms and the chasm widens between the 1 percent and the global 99, what thinking may yet energize new alliances between religious and irreligious constituencies?This book brings together political theorists, philosophers, theologians, and scholars of religion to open discursiv…
Connolly at 80
Connolly at 80 Catherine Keller (bio) That there is room in this conversation for a theologian testifies to the generocity of William Connolly's "deep pluralism." It is, as with certain trees much older than 80, a depth of immense width. At this depth the binary of root and rhizome, of depth and surface, disintegrates. The depth, however vertiginous, does not come down to verticality. It does suggest mystery, both as epistemic incertitude and ont…
Political Theology of the Earth
Amid melting glaciers, rising waters, and spreading droughts, Earth has ceased to tolerate our pretense of mastery over it. But how can we confront climate change when political crises keep exploding in the present? Noted ecotheologian and feminist philosopher of religion Catherine Keller reads the feedback loop of political and ecological depredation as secularized apocalypse. Carl Schmitt's political theology of the sovereign exception sheds li…
“Theology's Multitude
And Truth—So Manifold!’—Transfeminist Entanglements
How are we theologically imagining feminism’s further becomings at this juncture of multiple intertwined uncertainties? Aided by a poem by Emily Dickinson, this meditation on a transfeminist (not postfeminist) potentiality within and beyond Christianity plies a trinity of entanglement (relationality), mystery (apophasis), and multiplicity (polydoxy)
Cultural adaptation, compounding vulnerabilities and conjunctures in Norse Greenland
Norse Greenland has been seen as a classic case of maladaptation by an inflexible temperate zone society extending into the arctic and collapse driven by climate change. This paper, however, recognizes the successful arctic adaptation achieved in Norse Greenland and argues that, although climate change had impacts, the end of Norse settlement can only be truly understood as a complex socioenvironmental system that includes local and interregional…
Connolly's Mysterious Trinity Machine
Drawing Connolly's work into a conversation with Christian theology of a feminist and process persuasion, this article explores and builds upon the way in which Connolly offers a third way between the theistic certainties of George Bush's "Christian America" and the crass secularism of those who are and were appalled by the latter's religious fundamentalism. Discerning a secret Trinitarian structure in Connolly's immanent naturalism, though not t…
Strange Wonder
Furs, Fish, and Ivory
Why did the Norse Icelanders colonize Greenland in the late tenth century A.D., and why did they explore the coasts of Labrador and Newfoundland? Was it a desperate search for farmland at the margins of the known world, or was it a market-driven economic strategy applied to sub-arctic territory? To address these questions, the author gives a brief introduction to the Norse expansion and economic strategies in three regions: the Sami territory in …

Graves and Churches of the Norse in the North Atlantic
Was there a sacred Norse geography in the North Atlantic region during the Viking and Early Middle Ages? In this study, the locations of Late Iron Age pagan Norse graves in West Norway and Iceland are analyzed and compared. The analysis also includes medieval church-sites in these regions, as well as in Norse Greenland. The approach is that of landscape archaeology, and two sets of analyses are used: an attribute analysis where the locations of p…
The Apophasis of Gender
If academic feminism suffers from an institutionalized overfamiliarity, it is also the case that its language of gender has never ceased to shift, bifurcate, and enfold other discourses. In its attention to its own aporias, feminism at points resembles a mysticism of knowing ignorance. This paper effects an improbable resonance between a particular tradition of apophatic cosmology and a feminist theology that resists at once its own idolatry and …
Toward a Theology of Eros
What does theology have to say about the place of eroticism in the salvific transformation of men and women, even of the cosmos itself? How, in turn, does eros infuse theological practice and transfigure doctrinal tropes? Avoiding the well-worn path of sexual moralizing while also departing decisively from Anders Nygren's influential insistence that Christian agape must have nothing to do with worldly eros, this book explores what is still largel…
Norse Greenland Settlement
Changing economies and patterns of trade, rather than climatic deterioration, could have critically marginalized the Norse Greenland settlements and effectively sealed their fate. Counter-intuitively, the end of Norse Greenland might not be symptomatic of a failure to adapt to environmental change, but a consequence of successful wider economic developments of Norse communities across North Atlantic. Data from Greenland, the Faroe Islands, and me…
The Role of Climate in Settlement and Landscape Change in the North Atlantic Islands
In order to assess possible contributions of climate change to the human ecology of the Faroe Islands, proxy climate data from the Greenland Icesheet Project 2 (GISP2) are evaluated in relation to settlement and landscape \nchanges in the Faroes and other North Atlantic islands. Our aim is to identify \ntimes of unpredictable change in the context of cultural and environmental \n'memories'. A pan-Atlantic perspective is used to assess the utility…

Family Burden During Exacerbation of Schizophrenia
Background/aims: Family members of people with schizophrenia are heavily burdened. Thus, we aimed at quantifying the amount of additional efforts during the two weeks before hospitalisation of acute exacerbating psychosis compared to the time before. Methods: By means of the semi-structured ‘Interview for Measuring the Burden on the Family' we interviewed relatives of people with schizophrenia. To quantify additional burden we asked how much time…
Territory, Terror and Torture
Beginning from the apocalyptic work, Hardboiled Wonderland and the End of the World, this article explores the Christian Apocalypse through dream-reading the imagery in the context of American responses to 9/11. The apocalyptic figures of the Whore, the Messiah and the Beast appear in interaction with each other. Apocalyptic language, like the tension between nationalism and globalization, both deterritorializes and reterritorializes, unleashing …
Richard Kearney’s endless morning
The Face of the Deep
This is a groundbreaking, highly original work of postmodern feminist theology from one of the most important authors in the field. The Face of the Deep deconstructs the Christian doctrine of creation which claims that a transcendent Lord unilaterally created the universe out of nothing. Catherine Keller's impassioned, graceful meditation develops an alternative representation of the cosmic creative process, drawing upon Hebrew myths of creation,…

The Heat is On
1998 was the warmest year since reliable records have been kept, according to studies by both NASA and the World Metereological Association. This marks the 20th consecutive year with an above normal global surface temperature. The fourth angel poured his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch men with fire; men were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God (Rev. 16.8). ‘Nothing is going to happen.’ ‘I know nothing’s goi…

Why Apocalypse, Now
“So, why involve ourselves in apocalypse? Perhaps the answer must be that we are already involved in apocalypse, involved in such many-layered and multivalent complexities of image and reality, of judgment and hope, and of illusion and disillusionment that we had best meditate upon apocalypse now and again. The proliferating smorgasbord of end-of-the-world scenarios (dispensational fundamentalists, contemporary interpreters of Nostradamus and the…
More on Feminism, Self-Sacrifice, and Time; Or, Too Many Words for Emptiness
I thank Masao Abe for seriousness with which he has engaged my earlier comments in The Emptying God (Maryknoll, New York: Orbis Press, 1990). I had suggested that, while such conceptual common ground for interreligious dialogue as God, faith, transcendence, and the Good disintegrates on closer examination, one unmistakable common denominator remains standing. The religions-by contrast to some indigenous traditions-share a patriarchal foundation o…
