I was invited to be on an interfaith panel focused on church state relationship in the US with most prompts focusing on first amendment and “edge” case scenarios

Any recommendations from folks on recent poli sci books / articles related to the topic?

I think I agree on the whole, though I notice when people read Bonhoeffer through Barth they tend to try to read the corpus like it’s CD, which tends to flatten the corpus.

DBW is more like LW where it’s more unruly and occasional and thus more fun

This really is sad news. A true giant who deserved more attention. He was incredibly humble and exuded kindness in every interaction I had with him

Owning the Bonhoeffer works is the only way to fill the Bonhoeffer works shaped hole in your heart.
