Prophesies of Godlessness

Prophesies of Godlessness explores the surprisingly similar expectations of religious and moral change voiced by major American thinkers from the time of the Puritans to today. These predictions of "godlessness" in American societysometimes by those favoring the foreseen future, sometimes by those fearing ithave a history as old as America, and indeed seem crucially intertwined with it. This book shows that there have been and continue to be patterns to these prophesies. They determine how some people perceive and analyze America's prospective moral and religious future, how they express themselves, and powerfully affect how others hear them. While these patterns have taken a sinuous and at times subterranean route to the present, when we think about the future of America we are thinking about that future largely with terms and expectations first laid out by past generations, some stemming back before the very foundations of the United States. Even contemporary atheists and those who predict optimistic techno-utopias rely on scripts that are deeply rooted in the American past. This book excavates the history of these prophesies. Each chapter attends to a particular era, and each is organized around a focal individual, a community of thought, and changing conceptions of secularization. Each chapter also discusses how such predictions are part of all thought about "the good society," and how such thinking structures our apprehension of the present, forming a feedback loop of sorts. Extending from the role of prophesies in Thomas Jeffersons thought, to the Civil War, through progressivism, the Scopes Trial, the Cold War and beyond, Prophesies of Godlessness demonstrates that expectations about America's future character and piety are not an accidental feature of American thought, but have been, and continue to be, absolutely essential to the meaning of the nation itself.

Evil and the Augustinian Tradition

Evil and the Augustinian Tradition

This explores the 'family biography' of the Augustinian tradition by looking at Augustine's work and its development in the writings of Hannah Arendt and Reinhold Niebuhr. Mathewes argues that the Augustinian tradition offers us a powerful, though commonly misconstrued, proposal for understanding and responding to evil's challenges. The book casts light on Augustine, Niebuhr and Arendt, as well as on the problem of evil, the nature of tradition, and the role of theological and ethical discourse in contemporary thought.

What has Washington to do with Jerusalem? In the raging debates about the relationship between religion and politics, no one has explored the religious benefits and challenges of public engagement for Christian believers - until now. This book defends and details Christian believers' engagement in contemporary pluralistic public life not from the perspective of some neutral 'public', but from the particular perspective of Christian faith, arguing that such engagement enriches both public life and Christian citizens' faith themselves. As such it offers not a 'public theology', but a 'theology of public life', analysing the promise and perils of Christian public engagement, discussing the nature of civic commitment and prophetic critique, and the relation of a loving faith to a liberal politics of justice. Theologically rich, philosophically rigorous, politically, historically and sociologically informed, this book advances contemporary discussion of 'religion and public life' in fundamental ways.

Charles Truett Williams worked in the Fort Worth area from the late 1940s through 1966, spending twenty of his forty-eight years involved in intense artistic production. Before his death in 1966 he contributed immense vitality and acted as a catalyst for the emerging contemporary art scene in North Texas. An entire sculptural range can be seen in the legacy of his work. Eighteen months spent in France with the Army Corps of Engineers 1945-1946 allowed Williams to meet artists and see art only previously read about. Picasso, Braque, Brancusi, and Miro, and the African and Pre-Colombian art all influenced Williams. Fort Worth collector Ted Weiner gave Williams his initial important sculptural commissions, including Earth Mother, made for the Weiner's garden from five large blocks of Carthage marble. Metals also captured Williams' attention as did work with found objects. In his transformative hands, discarded carburetors became Mayan ballplayers, a Model A Ford jack became a portrait of Jim Love. Williams completed many public and commercial commissions. The Ridglea Country Club, Fort Worth, was an early patron. Numerous works were designed for Ted Weiner's garden. Other commissions included Hanging Screen, c. 1961, for the Sheraton Hotel in Houston; and a garden sculpture for St. Martin's Episcopal Church in Houston. With Dallas sculptor Octavio Medellin, he collaborated on mosaic murals for Temple Emanu-el, Dallas, and for the Texas Turnpike Authority, Arlington. Fine commissioned works, most notably fountains, were also done for many private homes and gardens across Texas and Oklahoma.
