SUMMARY:Singing the Blues: A Moral Alternative to Vengeance and Apathy?
DESCRIPTION:Chesterton Perspectives brings you: \nSinging the Blues: A Moral Alternative to Vengeance and Apathy?\nA conversation with Angel Adams Parham\, Associate Professor of Sociology and senior fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture (IASC) at the University of Virginia\nNovember 11\, 2024\n7:30 pm EST in person at 111 The Knoll Rd\n7:45 pm EST via Zoom \nRegister Here \nMany of America’s most tense public battles over the last decade hinge on disputes about rival readings of history. Yet we have irreconcilable accounts of what happened and why\, let alone who is responsible and how to move forward. These historical stalemates foster an increasingly polarized culture. \nBut what if our disputes brought together not only what we think happened in the past\, but how and why we choose to remember it? A fuller exploration uncovers the way history is shaped by our moral imagination\, bringing together emotions such as anger and optimism. As a sociologist and trenchant commenter on the ways social communities shape their own stories\, Angel Adams Parham looks to a deeper vision of history that goes beyond simplistic stories. \nCould we “sing the blues” as Angel Adams Parham phrases it? A different way of understanding history could help us move forward in hope without forgetting the sins of our past. \nAngel Adams Parham; Associate Professor of Sociology and Senior Fellow\, Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture at the University of Virginia\nAngel Adams Parham is Associate Professor of Sociology\, senior fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture\, and Associate Director for the major in Political and Social Thought at the University of Virginia. Through her research in historical sociology\, she engages in inquiry that examines the past in order to better understand how to live well in the present and envision wisely for the future. Her first book\, American Routes: Racial Palimpsests and the Transformation of Race (Oxford\, 2017)\, received several awards. Her latest book\, co-authored with Anika Prather\, was published in 2022 and is entitled The Black Intellectual Tradition: Reading Freedom in Classical Literature. Parham has published articles on the intersection of Black writers and classical liberal education in popular outlets including the Washington Post\, Wall Street Journal\, Public Discourse\, Comment Magazine\, The Hedgehog Review\, and Common Good Magazine. Her work finds expression in the community in her capacity as the co-founder and executive director of Nyansa Classical Community\, an educational organization which provides curricula and programming designed to connect with students from diverse backgrounds\, inviting them to take part in the Great Conversation\, cultivate the moral imagination\, and pursue truth\, goodness\, and beauty. Parham has been a member of the School of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton\, as well as the recipient of a Fulbright grant. She received her bachelor’s degree from Yale University and completed her doctoral work at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

SUMMARY:Puncturing the Myth of Equality
DESCRIPTION:Chesterton Perspectives brings you: \nPuncturing the Myth of Equality\nA conversation with Brad Littlejohn\, Fellow at Ethics and Public Policy Center\nSeptember 30\, 2024\n7:30 pm EST in person at 111 The Knoll Rd\n7:45 pm EST via Zoom\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\nNo ideal has dominated modern political thought more than equality. Yet apart from political philosophers and economists\, few of us give equality any serious thought. We tacitly accept inequalities that seem necessary for society to function: parents and children\, teachers and students\, politicians and citizens\, etc. We even celebrate massive inequalities between ourselves and others like olympic athletes\, musicians\, doctors\, and poets. And yet\, we appeal to equality to protect the common dignity of being made in the image of God. When should we push towards greater equality\, and when should we instead accept hierarchical inequalities and celebrate difference?\n\nJoin us as we host the political theologian Brad Littlejohn who will help us navigate our way through myths and merits of equality.\n\n\n\n\nBrad Littlejohn; Fellow at Ethics and Public Policy Center\nBrad Littlejohn (Ph.D\, University of Edinburgh) is a Fellow of the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC)\, where he helms a project for renewing an authentically Protestant contribution to American civic renewal. He is also the founder and President Emeritus of The Davenant Institute\, where for ten years he helped create resources and courses to form Christian leaders in wisdom to navigate our increasingly challenging cultural moment. A leading voice in Protestant ethics and political thought\, he is the author or editor of nineteen books\, including The Peril and Promise of Christian Liberty (2017) and the forthcoming Called to Freedom: Retrieving Christian Liberty in an Age of License. He is a weekly columnist at WORLD Opinions\, and publishes widely in other journals including First Things\, National Affairs\, American Affairs\, Plough\, Mere Orthodoxy\, The American Conservative\, Ad Fontes\, and more. You can find his latest work and regular commentary at bradlittlejohn.substack.com. \n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Chesterton Perspectives: Danielle Treweek
DESCRIPTION:Chesterton Perspectives brings you: \nUnraveling the Meaning of Singleness\n\nA Conversation with Danielle Treweek Christian Theological Researcher\, Author\, and Speaker\n \n\n\nMarch 25th\, 2024\n7:30 pm EST in person at 111 The Knoll Rd\n7:45 pm EST via Zoom\n\n\nRegister Here \n\n\n\nSingleness: the unloved waystation on the road to marriage. Mainstream Christian figures from Tim Keller and Albert Mohler to James Dobson and John MacArthur would have us believe that marriage is the preferred state for everyone\, singleness the unfortunate consolation prize or the waiting stage before something “better”. But\, what if there’s something “better” about singleness that gets overlooked today? Christian scripture and tradition teach us that singleness and marriage are equal callings with their own riches and pains and with complimentary roles foreshadowing the eternal life that awaits us. Dani Treweek proposes that we turn from these shallow and contemporary caricatures to retrieve a richer and fuller sense of what it means to be human\, both here and in eternity. \nDanielle Treweek; Christian Theological Researcher\, Author\, and Speaker\nDanielle Treweek\, Rev’d Dr Danielle Treweek (BA\, B.Div (Hons)\, PhD)\, is an ordained deacon within the Sydney Anglican Diocese. After serving as an assistant minister at St Matthias Anglican Church\, Centennial Park\, she completed doctoral research into theology of singleness for the contemporary church through St Mark’s National Theological Centre in Canberra. She is the author of The Meaning of Singleness\, is commencing commentary work on 1 & 2 Thessalonians for Hodder & Stoughton and writes for publications including Christianity Today\, Themelios\, Mere Orthodoxy\, and ABC Religion & Ethics.

SUMMARY:Chesterton Perspectives: Abigail Favale
DESCRIPTION:Chesterton Perspectives brings you: \nFeminism and the Family\n\nA Conversation with Abigail Favale Professor of the Practice\, Women’s Studies\, at University of Notre Dame\n \n\n\nFebruary 19th\, 2024\n7:30 pm EST in person at 111 The Knoll Rd\n7:45 pm EST via Zoom\n\nRegister Here\nWhat if the key to achieving female equality lies in embracing what makes women different from men instead of competing to be the same? Notre Dame Professor Abigail Favale was among the strongest feminist scholars in America\, when a religious transformation moved her to reassess the viewpoints she found herself defending. This reassessment led her to the conclusion that feminist theory has lost its way by trying to constantly conform to shifting trends in popular culture. The dominant culture today imposes the idea that women’s bodies are merely abstract objects of performance\, not necessarily related to “family.” From a young age\, girls are taught to strive to “keep up with the boys\,” as this is what is needed to create an “identity” for themselves—one that asks the question “What can females do\, build\, compete for\, and achieve?” without acknowledging or honoring the divine gift bestowed on them in creation. \nCoinciding with a rapid increase in girls preferring to be boys\, and the shocking rise of depression\, anxiety\, and self-harm among teens\, our culture has deviated from the creational uniqueness of women. While holding true to feminism’s vision of female equality and dignity\, Favale’s “Catholic Feminism” seeks to restore a theology of human identity grounded in family\, harmony\, wholeness\, and divine gift. \nAbigail Favale; Professor of the Practice\, Women’s Studies\, at University of Notre Dame\nAbigail is a writer and professor whose work lies at the intersection of Catholic theology\, literature\, and women’s studies. Her abiding interest as a writer and scholar is the meaning and dignity of woman\, and her work explores sexual difference and embodiment in the Catholic imagination. Her first book\, Irigaray\, Incarnation\, and Contemporary Women’s Fiction (Palgrave 2013) was awarded the 2014 Feminist and Women’s Studies Association Book Award. Her second book is Into the Deep: An Unlikely Catholic Conversion (Cascade 2018)\, a spiritual memoir that traces her journey from birthright evangelicalism to postmodern feminism and\, finally\, to the Catholic Church. Abigail’s most recent book\, The Genesis of Gender: A Christian Theory\, was published in 2022 by Ignatius Press and has already been translated into multiple languages. Her numerous essays have appeared in MICL’s Church Life Journal\, The Atlantic\, First Things\, Public Discourse\, Comment\, and elsewhere. Abigail is also a fiction writer and was awarded the J.F. Powers Prize for Short Fiction in 2017. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Chesterton Perspectives: W. Bradford Wilcox
DESCRIPTION:Chesterton Perspectives brings you: \nFamily Drama: Does Marriage Matter?\n\nA Conversation with W. Bradford Wilcox Professor of Sociology and Director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia \n\n\nNovember 13th\, 2023\n7:30pm ET in person at 111 The Knoll Rd\n7:45pm ET via Zoom\n\nRegister Here\nIn today’s world\, the nuclear family unit seems to be a relic of the past. Culture has moved on to the flexibility of loving partners\, same-sex relationships\, open marriages\, and single parenting. But\, recent sociological data paints a more complicated picture… Marriage appears to make for happier people\, and children raised by two birth parents are doing better socially and economically than their peers. On the other hand\, the number of marriages is declining among middle and lower income populations. Children in these demographics are increasingly falling behind their peers. \nThe vast majority of young adults in this country want to get married\, yet the pool of “marriage-able” partners is dwindling… making the search for a compatible partner increasingly more difficult. Does marriage matter as we plan for our future and does getting married really impact our lives? Join us as we think through this urgent and multifaceted social dilemma. \nW. Bradford Wilcox; Professor of Sociology and Director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia\nBrad Wilcox is Professor of Sociology and Director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia\, the Future of Freedom Fellow at the Institute for Family Studies\, and a nonresident senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. The author of Get Married: Why Americans Should Defy the Elites\, Forge Strong Families and Save Civilization (Harper Collins\, 2024)\, Wilcox studies marital quality\, marital stability\, and the impact of strong and stable marriages upon men\, women\, and children. The author and editor of six books\, Wilcox has written for scientific journals such as The American Sociological Review and The Journal of Marriage and Family\, and The New York Times\, The Wall Street Journal\, The Atlantic\, and National Review. A Connecticut native\, he now lives in Charlottesville\, Virginia with his wife and family. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Gender\, Family\, and Patriarchy In Ancient Israel
DESCRIPTION:Chesterton Perspectives brings you: \nGender\, Family\, and Patriarchy In Ancient Israel\n\nA Conversation with Cynthia Shafer-Elliott Associate Professor of Hebrew Bible / Old Testament at Baylor University \n\nSeptember 25th\, 2023\n7:30pm ET in person at 111 The Knoll Rd\n7:45pm ET via Zoom\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\nThe Bible is often assumed by traditionalist conservatives to enshrine an idealized notion of “family”. Progressive Christians counter with assumptions about ancient gender inequality and patriarchal dominance that anachronistically project current notions onto ancient historical cultures. But recent archeological and social-historical studies suggest both of these fail to understand the ancient world of the Hebrew Bible on its own terms. \nWhile family inheritance was usually passed along through male heirs and patriarchy was a reality\, the average household was larger and more complicated than many recognize\, allowing for a more fluid sharing of authority and responsibility among the men and women in a community. Join us as Prof Cynthia Shafer-Elliott introduces us to the latest research of ancient households. \nCynthia Shafer-Elliott Associate Professor of Hebrew Bible / Old Testament at Baylor University\nDr. Cynthia Shafer-Elliott joined the Religion Department at Baylor University in 2022 from her native California. Her expertise and research focus on the historical\, cultural\, and social contexts of ancient Israel and Judah as reflected within both the archaeological record and the Hebrew Bible (with a particular interest in the Former Prophets). More specifically\, Dr. Shafer-Elliott’s research emphasizes household archaeology and issues of food\, gender\, religion\, and social memory. She is an experienced field archaeologist and is part of the archaeological excavations at Tel Halif and Tel Abel Beth Maacah in Israel. In 2018 she was the Ernest S. Frerichs Annual Professor at the W. F. Albright Institute of Archaeological Research (Jerusalem). Furthermore\, Dr. Shafer-Elliott is involved with the American Society of Overseas Research (ASOR)\, the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL)\, and the Albright Institute of Archaeological Research (AIAR) in Jerusalem.\n\n\nRegister Here
