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

SUMMARY:Capitalism and Love of Neighbor: Can They Be Reconciled?
DESCRIPTION:Chesterton Perspectives brings you: \nCapitalism and Love of Neighbor: Can They Be Reconciled?\nA Conversation with Sarah Estelle Associate Professor of Economics; Hope College \nApril 10th\, 2023\n7:30pm ET in person at 111 The Knoll Rd\n7:45pm ET via Zoom\n\nRegister Here \nTypically Christians who focus on the morality of markets and economics see the problem as “taming” markets to mitigate the unjust outcomes they tend to produce. Classically libertarian views are not usually looked upon favorably by Christian theologians who engage in economic questions\, being too fixated on individualism at the expense of the common good. Prof. Estelle has taken a different view\, defending the libertarian political economy inspired by F. A. Hayek and classical Christian thinkers such as Augustine and Aquinas. On her view\, markets can actually serve as an instrument of love\, and finds a surprising compatibility with Augustinian concerns of the classical Christian tradition. Join us in conversation with Sarah as we hear about her own journey in finding an unlikely synthesis between these approaches.\n\n\nSarah Estelle Associate Professor of Economics; Hope College\nProfessor Sarah Estelle is an associate professor of economics at Hope College. Because she believes economics can be useful everywhere and used by everyone\, she enjoys extending the theories and empirical techniques of microeconomics to questions located along the “imperialist” frontier of economic research. For example\, Professor Estelle has published work on criminal justice reform\, higher education\, risky adolescent behaviors and parents’ investments in children. More broadly yet\, Professor Estelle is intrigued by the role of government in human flourishing and is especially fascinated by the big ideas of Nobel Laureate economist F.A. Hayek related to knowledge and information\, cultural evolution\, and order not of design but of human action. \nMost recently Professor Estelle has undertaken work bridging the principles of traditional Christian teaching and classical liberal economics and especially applying the lessons of economics to the Christian virtue of love\, thickly construed. She is the director of Religious Liberty in the States\, a brand-new statistical index that measures the legal safeguards for the free exercise of religion in the United States. \nProfessor Estelle is the founding director of Hope’s Markets & Morality student organization\, which explores economic issues through a Christian lens and brings speakers and film screenings to campus to enrich the Hope community’s understanding of markets. Markets & Morality celebrates its 10th year in 2022–23. \n\n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Can Capitalism Be Christian? Economics and Social Hierarchies
DESCRIPTION:Chesterton Perspectives brings you: \nCan Capitalism Be Christian? Economics and Social Hierarchies\nA Conversation with Jonathan Tran Associate Professor of Philosophical Theology and George W. Baines Chair of Religion \nMarch 27\, 2023\n7:30pm ET in person at 111 The Knoll Rd\n7:45pm ET via Zoom\n\nRegister Here \nWhat if it turned out that even well-intended attempts to remedy social and economic injustice actually made things worse? Jonathan Tran\, a theological ethicist at Baylor University\, has argued just this. On his telling\, an overly narrow focus on racial biases\, bigotry\, and interpersonal microaggressions (what in modern parlance goes by “antiracism”) unwittingly entrenches the very economic structures that allow racial oppression to persist.\n\nBut what if instead the goal that antiracism seeks in vain is better found in a revolutionary Christian ethic? What Christians most need today\, Tran argues\, is a kind of economic revolutionary spirit\, one that goes beyond mere Marxism\, which lacks the framework required for moral judgment and just action. On his view\, Christianity can supply just this sort of economic revolutionary spirit\, one that would be better suited to address oppressive social structures of what he terms “racial capitalism” by pushing for a Biblical vision of a just social order. Join us in conversation with Jonathan about theology\, social hierarchy\, and economic justice.\n\n\nJonathan Tran Associate Professor of Philosophical Theology and George W. Baines\nOriginally from Southern California\, Jonathan received his BA from University of California\, Riverside and his M.Div. and Ph.D. from Duke Divinity School where he studied under Stanley Hauerwas.

SUMMARY:Love of Neighbor and the Dismal Science: Economics for Christians
DESCRIPTION:Chesterton Perspectives brings you: \nLove of Neighbor and the Dismal Science: Economics for Christians\nA Conversation with Chris Barrett Stephen B. and Janice G. Ashley Professor of Applied Economics and Management and International Professor of Agriculture\, Cornell University \nMarch 6th\, 2023\n7:30pm ET in person at 111 The Knoll Rd\n7:45pm ET via Zoom\n\nRegister Here \nChris Barrett will be joining a live gathered audience at The Knoll. \n\nJesus’ commandment to love our neighbor as ourselves (MT 22:39) invites action. We then inevitably confront the difficult foundational questions of economics: Scarce resources necessitate tradeoffs\, so what is the best use of limited time\, talent and treasure? Since individual actions respond to structural incentives and constraints and may be dwarfed by broader (market or other) forces\, how should we act and assess others’ actions? Given human sinfulness\, what policies can induce behaviors that reduce material suffering of the poor? Join us in conversation with Chris Barrett\, Prof. of Applied Economics and Management\, of Agriculture\, and of Public Policy as we learn about development\, agricultural and resource economics\, poverty traps\, food insecurity\, how economic models can inform and mislead\, and more. \n\nChris Barrett Ph.D\, Professor of Applied Economics and Management and International Professor of Agriculture\, Cornell University\nChris Barrett is Stephen B. and Janice G. Ashley Professor of Applied Economics and Management\, and an international professor of agriculture at the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management\, as well as a professor in Jeb E.

SUMMARY:Markets\, Morality\, and the Medieval Christian Mind
DESCRIPTION:Chesterton Perspectives brings you: \nMarkets\, Morality\, and the Medieval Christian Mind\nA Conversation with Mary Hirschfeld Professor of Economics and Theology at Villanova University \nFebruary 20th\, 2023\n7:30pm ET in person at 111 The Knoll Rd\n7:45pm ET via Zoom\n\nRegister Here \nMary Hirschfeld will be Zooming in to a live gathered audience at The Knoll. At the conclusion of the event\, in person attendees will partake in post conversation lead by Executive Director Dr. Vivek Mathew \n\nProf. Mary Hirschfeld\, trained with her doctorate from Harvard in economics\, had become an accomplished professor in a tenured post at Occidental College. But then as a faculty member she had an adult conversion to the Christian faith\, which then prompted her to reflect on the foundations of the modern economic discipline as a moral enterprise. \nHer questions on how to approach economics from a Christian perspective led her to leave a prized tenured post and begin a second doctorate in theology from Notre Dame. Now a professor of theology at Villanova\, she is one of the few very few scholars in the world who have a bi-cultural literacy through two very different lenses on the world. Join us as we gain perspective and insight on navigating what it means to live a virtuously economic life. \n\nMary Hirschfeld\, Professor of Economics and Theology at Villanova University\nMary Hirschfeld earned her Ph.D. in economics from Harvard University in 1989\, specializing in the fields of macroeconomics and economic history. She was a professor of economics at Occidental College from 1988 to 2003 and she also served as Chair of the Department of Economics and as a member of several committees\, including the institution’s Educational Policy Committee. Following a conversion to Catholicism\, she left her position to study moral theology at Notre Dame\, earning her Master of Theological Science degree in 2005. She is currently a Ph.D. candidate in the field of moral theology at Notre Dame. Her dissertation focuses on a Thomistic framework for thinking about economics\, with an emphasis on consumption. \nIn the field of economics\, Professor Hirschfeld has explored research interests in feminist economics and heterodox approaches to economic theory. She has taught a variety of courses on topics that include the development of capitalism\, macroeconomics\, financial markets\, economics and philosophy\, European history\, and persecution in America. She is the author of several articles on economics in the Review of Economics and Statistics\, the Journal of Economic Education\, and History of Political Economy\, as well as a recent article on moral theology in the Journal of the Society of Christian Ethics. In 2010\, Professor Hirschfeld was awarded a Charlotte W. Newcombe Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Economic Justice in the Bible: Debt\, Capital\, and the Feast
DESCRIPTION:Chesterton Perspectives brings you: \nEconomic Justice in the Bible: Debt\, Capital\, and the Feast\nA Conversation with Michael Rhodes PhD\, Lecturer in Old Testament; Carey Baptist Seminary \nNovember 14th\, 2022\n7:30pm ET in person at 115 The Knoll Rd\n7:45pm ET via Zoom\n\nRegister Here \nDr. Michael Rhodes will be Zooming in to a live gathered audience at The Knoll. At the conclusion of the event\, in person attendees will partake in post conversation lead by Executive Director Vivek Mathew \n\n\n\n\nThe Hebrew Scriptures are some of the earliest texts in history to set forth a moral stance toward distributional justice which orders economic goods for the flourishing of a whole community. But how did (or would) it deal with crippling debt\, poverty\, taxation\, redistribution\, and other contemporary questions of economic justice? Joins us in conversation with Old Testament scholar and pastor Michael Rhodes of Carey Baptist Seminary as he takes us through the Hebrew Bible’s counterintuitive approach to economic justice. From debt forgiveness to a practice of communal feasting of meals\, Dr. Rhodes helps us understand the contextual complexities and how they might help inform the challenging policy and lifestyle questions we face today. \n\nMichael Rhodes Ph.D\, Lecturer in Old Testament; Carey Baptist Seminary\nMichael started at Carey in 2021. He teaches Carey’s undergraduate Old Testament courses and also co-teaches courses in the postgraduate program and supervises MA theses. \nMichael holds a PhD in Divinity from the University of Aberdeen/Trinity College Bristol. His dissertation explored how the Deuteronomic tithe meal and Corinthian Lord’s Supper served as morally transformative feasts that shaped the community for holiness\, justice\, mercy\, and solidarity. Prior to coming to Carey\, Michael spent 7 years working for Christian community development programs\, first in Kenya\, and then in the economically impoverished South Memphis community where his family lives. In addition to this extensive community development experience\, he has also been involved in racially and economically diverse church plants since 2009\, and is an ordained pastor in the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. Michael’s passion is to help the church hear and respond to God’s call in Scripture to become a community that embodies Jesus’s good news for the poor. As a result he has studied and published works on economic discipleship\, racial justice\, and poverty in Scripture\, at both the academic and popular level. \n\nRegister Here \n\n

SUMMARY:When Science Meets the Real World: Covid\, Climate Change\, & the Challenge of Authority
DESCRIPTION:Religious communities are sometimes deeply divided about the role of science and scientists in society. On the one hand\, some Christian (and particularly white evangelical) churches are perceived as not taking COVID and climate change seriously\, which manifests as vaccine resistance and disinterest in conservation efforts.  This can lead to tragic death and inaction in areas of urgency for the common good.\n\n \nOn the other hand\, Christians with high levels of education and privilege are often accused of regarding their less educated religious compatriots with moral condescension or even outright contempt.  The perceived lack of intellectual humility has been connected to the censorship or even punishment of those who question scientific consensus.\n\n \nJoin us as we sit with two senior scholars\, campus leaders\, and thinkers at the nexus of faith and science. From their respective disciplines of ecology and molecular biology they have unique perspectives on how the fractures mentioned above play out in the research world and in lay communities across the country.\n\n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:God\, Politics\, and the Healing of the Nations | Spring Course
DESCRIPTION:Is it possible today to act in faith as a follower of God and participate in modern politics? Will religion misshape and misdirect our efforts to achieve justice? Or will political engagement misshape and misdirect our efforts to follow God? This course takes us on a journey through some deeper historical currents of Christian reflection on politics\, and their attempts to answer these questions. A number of special guest visitors will introduce a few systematic approaches to the church’s relation to the state (e.g. Augustinian\, Lutheran\, Reformed\, Catholic social thought\, Anabaptist etc.). Rather than focus on immediate political questions of today\, we will step back and hear from these traditions in their own time\, and their attempts to take a complex Biblical inheritance and apply it to social and political dilemmas in front of them. Our aim is to refresh our hopes\, visions\, and commitments both to God as well as to fallible human communities and governments. This mini-course has short weekly readings. \nREGISTER NOW\nSpeakers: \n  \nJohn Owen- “God and Politics: Three Christian Views. \nJohn M. Owen is Amb. Henry J. and Mrs. Marion R.
