Thursday, September 30: The Biblical Prophets as Political Commentators
The Reverend Robert Owens, Professor of Old Testament.

Thursday, October 7: Religion & the Meaning of America: 1630 to the Present
R. Bruce Mullin, SPRL Professor of Church History. How do religious concepts and understandings contribute to an understanding of what it means to be an American?

These and other questions will be addressed in this lecture.

Thursday, October 14: Can the Church Be Too Political? Reflections on Levels of Personal, Clerical, Parochial and Denominational Political Involvement.
The Reverend William Doubleday, Prof. of Pastoral Theology. Both history and contemporary events suggest a variety of approaches to the question of how religious individuals and institutions can or should engage in politics at the local, state, and national level.
