Thursday, September
30: The Biblical Prophets as Political Commentators
The Reverend Robert Owens, Professor of Old Testament. Much of the material preserved
in Scripture connected with individuals such as Amos, Isaiah, and Jeremiah has to do
with political criticism of the government and dominant institutions of their day.
This session explores the values and convictions which brought them into harsh and
sometimes dangerous conflict with the "establishment."
Thursday, October
7: Religion and 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? How have these understandings
changed over time? How does this long history affect present day discussions of religion
and the social order? 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, Professor 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.
Thursday, October
28: Rhetoric, Religion, and the Presidency: Symbolic Dimensions of
Campaign 2004.
The Reverend Mitties McDonald DeChamplain, Trinity Church Professor of Preaching. Presidential
campaigns are inescapably religious, and this presentation will explore the ways in
which candidates use various media to establish their fitness to be high priest and
prophet of the civil-religious tradition in America.
