Empire Goes All the Way Down: Joerg Rieger on What "Christian Nationalism" Misses

This is the first live Q&A for the new class, and Joerg Rieger came ready. Christ and Empire came out during my last year of div school, and that's why I was so excited to try to study with him, until Joerg promptly went on sabbatical. So this whole class is, in a sense, twenty years of making that…

Who Owns the Creed? Joerg Rieger on the Conservative Gimmick and the Surplus They Missed

Second live Q&A, and this week we went to Nicaea.

Here's why. Las Casas owned an encomienda. He had Native people work…

We Are the Miracle: Schleiermacher and Soft Empire

This is the fifth live Q&A for ⁠The Christ Empire Couldn't Keep⁠ in which Joerg and I got to Friedrich Schleiermacher: the father of liberal theology, the DNA of American mainline Christianity, and yes, a card in my theologian baseball card collection. (Joerg wants to trade for it. Negotiations are…
