Academic Substack
Essays on theology, science, and the future church. New essays weekly.
- Joseph Needham was a devout Anglo-Catholic and a lifelong Marxist. Asking which he really was is the same mistake I wrote about last week. This is post 8 in “Science and Religion, from Everywhere.”
- The war never happened. Neither did the friendship. Both stories need something that was never there. This is post 7 in “Science and Religion, from Everywhere.”
- I stood in a church cut out of solid rock in Ethiopia, and the singing got past my training before I had anywhere to put it. This is post 6 in “Science and Religion, from Everywhere.”
- It is a real question, and people ask it seriously.
- A church walked into one of the world’s most scientifically and technologically advanced empires on earth and went to work on its medicine.
