Join Joseph W.H. Lough, Professor of Political Economy at the University of California, Berkeley, in this brand new course offered at Saint Mark’s Episcopal Church, Berkeley.
Political Theology builds upon the writings of Jeffrey Sharlett, author of the run-away bestsellers C Street and The Family. Both studies examine the emergence of a new virulent political theology at the beginning of the 20th century along with its rapid proliferation over the last half century.
Along with Jeff Sharlett’s writings, we will view and discuss Jesus Camp, a documentary that examines right wing political theology’s targeting of American youth.
Where: Saint Mark’s Episcopal Church, Berkeley (meet outside the Church Library)
When: Wednesday Evening, beginning October 5, at 6:00 pm
