    Israel, Redefined: Understanding Ezekiel through Migration Studies

    The book of Ezekiel speaks to a group of deportees taken to Babylonia in 597 BCE, where they were resettled in the ancient equivalent of a rural refugee camp. The book depicts a community made up largely of former residents from Jerusalem, which Ezekiel overwhelmingly calls ‘Israel’. The book is in many ways a strange […]

    Resisting Deficit Discourses in Christian Theological Accounts of Gender Diversity

    Deficit discourses assume that someone has a problem, or deficit, which needs to be mitigated. For example, deficit discourses might paint new students starting at university as lacking in the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in their degrees – or as empty vessels which need to be filled up by those responsible for […]

    Through numerous international agreements, states promise their respective treaty partners to accord foreign investors and their investments protection from unlawful state encroachments as well as violence by third parties.

    “How did hesitation, equivocation, compromise, and serendipity give shape to a Reformation driven by a handful of determined people?”

    Paul’s Gospel of Divine Self-Sacrifice

    What is the center of the apostle Paul’s message of good news about God? According to this book, it is something God did and continues to do through Jesus Christ.

    Are we happier now?

    The late Gilbert Sorrentino once told me that “even Kafka has to write ‘He opened the window.’” It took me some time to feel the force of this remark.
