A Compass During the Storm
Teaching and learning in higher education is occurring, unavoidably, within the broader civic context of today’s extraordinarily polarizing political times. We seek to help students situate themselves with respect to and, above all, thoughtfully assess others’ as well as their own perspectives on issues of profound contention, without contributing to exacerbated polarization ourselves. Specifically, we offer students in our first-year exploratory…
Apophatic Entanglement” and the Politics of Unknowing
Catherine Keller, professor of constructive theology at Drew University, has crafted a tellingly cryptic book that challenges not merely the reader's intellect but also the validity of any forms of knowing that claim achievable certitude. Heeding Nicholas of Cusa's fifteenth-century exhortation for docta ignorantia, or “knowing ignorance” (17), Cloud of the Impossible (the title is derived from a phrase in Cusa's De vision Dei) serves to undersco…
Beyond Resurgent ‘Islamists’ and Enlightened ‘Secularists’
This article analyzes emblematic media, policymaking, and scholarly discourses depicting religion within states and societies affected by the Arab uprisings. By early 2011, supposed expert assessments emanating from outside the Middle East, as well as some voices within the region, postulated that the uprisings were about citizens’ worldly strivings, rather than clerics’ claims to transcendent truth—only to shift, subsequently, to plaintive asser…
Learning through Upheaval
The irreducible complexity and singular unpredictability of the upheavals that have roiled the Middle East since December 2010 challenge analysts-from university students to policymakers-to grapple with irresolvable questions; this, rather than analysts' superimposing their own visions of what might constitute the upheavals' driving forces, and what will, or should be the outcomes of the regional turmoil. Drawing on strategies gleaned from teachi…
Transcending Nationalist Divides
Nationalism's inability to yield peacefully coexisting forms of political identity in Israel/Palestine has persisted for more than a century. This is so whether one refers to strands of secular nationalism that composed predominating, modern historical foundations for Israeli and Palestinian political consciousness, or subsequent forms of nationalism that have become intertwined, ever more, with religion. Further, nationalism's failure to foster …
Helping Students See What Ordinarily Remains Hidden
Often, when teaching in fields focused on the exploration of human society, an instructor who is concerned with the pervasive societal importance of religion faces the challenge of students informed by a contrary cultural assumption about religion’s significance. The notion that religion is fundamentally severable from other spheres of life is taken for granted in modern liberal, secular society, but is, nonetheless, a highly problematic idea tha…
State Power as a Vehicle for the Expression and Propagation of Implicit Religion
The ‘war on terrorism’ spearheaded by the United States provides a telling example of how state power may act to express and propagate a specific mode of implicit religion, and, moreover, how this variety of implicit religion demonstrates the permeable boundaries between explicit religion and implicit religion. In representing a liberal, democratic capitalist, nationalist ideology that is peculiar for its conflation of evangelical Protestantism t…
