Joining Dr. John Anthony Dunne, Brandon Hurlbert, Tim McNutt, and Dr. Chris Porter for this discussion is our special guest, Jennie Riley, who recently submitted her PhD thesis in Theology at Durham University (England), focusing on the relationship between Evangelical Christianity and Medial Practice. As she explains in the episode, for her doctoral research...

Social Identity & Political Discourse (Podcast)

Oct 21, 2020

Continuing further our recent conversations on politics and political engagement from a Christian perspective (cf. the episodes entitled, “Faith and Politics with Rev. Baroness Maeve Sherlock” and “War & Political Theology with Michael Spalione”), Dr. John Anthony Dunne and Dr. Chris Porter discuss social identity theory and how our social identity shapes our present lack of bi-partisanship in the States and the degrading nature of our political discourse with those in the “out group.” Chris...

Faith and Politics with Rev. Baroness Maeve Sherlock (Podcast)

Oct 7, 2020

In this tumultuous election season in the States, in which partisan entrenchment often leads to a lack of kindness and respect across the aisle, we have brought in a guest from across the pond to help sort us out. Joining Dr. John Anthony Dunne and Brandon Hurlbert is special guest Rev. Baroness Maeve Sherlock, who is Curate at St. Nics Durham in England, and is also a member of the House of Lords in the...

Obama Wins: Now What? (Guest Post)

Nov 20, 2012

On November 6th, Barack Obama was reelected faster than Thai food was delivered to my election night party. Though it is still obvious that our country is split down the middle, the election easily went to the Democratic Party. The people have spoken, and I think it’s time for Americans to accept this shift of American culture. So the question is, what does this mean for the Christian? This past week I saw many reactions...

I’m (Obviously Not Really But Yeah Mostly) Democrat

Nov 5, 2012

In light of Bryan Magaña’s recent confessions, I begged The Two Cities to let me confess my own “struggles”. Yes, it’s true, I sometimes vote for Democrats. I confess, I did donate money to Obama’s campaign at the chance of winning a trip to meet the Commander-in-Chief and Beyoncé. I do idolize Michelle Obama for her passion to fight for healthy eating in America. And yes, I’m in love with Obamacare. Some may think I’m...

How Should Christians Vote? 1 of 10: Care for the Poor

Aug 23, 2012

Since this is an election year, I thought it be would pertinent to address issues that are of concern when deliberating which candidates for whom to vote. In the next ten weeks I hope to take a biblical look at issues such as religious and political freedom, stewardship of earthly resources, war, and personal and social sin to name a few. In these posts I will not endorse any candidate or political party, I am...

A Theological Critique of Conservative Politics

Aug 29, 2011

Disclaimer time: the views expressed here do not represent you know, whoever disagrees with them. Oliver O’Donovan’s The Desire of Nations is a difficult but spectacular book that seeks to ‘rediscover the roots of political theology’. It is essentially a long theological exposition of the concept of authority in the Bible, with a focus on the way in which earthly authorities are both established and relativized by the advent of God’s authority in Jesus. I...
