Here and there

Rory Shiner highlights the theological value of Christopher Hitchens’ atheism, while Patrik reflects on the constructedness of nationalism and patriotism. Inspired by Kim’s recent post, David has launched a new series on theology and film; and LeRon Shults has two excellent guest-posts on interdisciplinary theology.

Meanwhile, Paul Helm has posted a draft of his forthcoming essay on Barth and McCormack. Scott Prather, who is writing a dissertation on Barth and Yoder at Aberdeen, has started a new theology blog, Swords to Plowshares. And at GodSpy there is an excellent interview with William Cavanaugh “about the Eucharist, politics, consumerism, war, and how Catholics can repair the rift between faith and life.”
