      <description>&lt;p&gt;This article (PDF coming soon!) presents a GIS-based analysis using R which analyses the footprint of several environmental groups in Scotland against standard demographics. This is my first attempt to use RMarkdown in a sustained way, so it&amp;rsquo;s taking a long time. Bear with me!&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>The Theology of Craft and the Craft of Work: From Tabernacle to Eucharist</title>

But is this a new phenomenon? In &lt;em&gt;The Theology of Craft&lt;/em&gt; I explore the Hebrew bible and Greek New Testament in conversation with other ancient craft narratives to see whether there is a model for good work embedded there. Through an examination of themes such as agency, aesthetics, sociality, skill, and the material culture of work, I argue that the church (or ‘new temple’) is both the product and the site of moral work and furthermore that Christian worship provides a moral context for work.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Changing Uses of Old and New Media in World Christianity</title>
      <link>https://jeremykidwell.info/publications/media_world_christianity/</link>
      <pubDate>Fri, 20 May 2016 00:00:00 UTC</pubDate>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Abstract&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Through a series of case studies we analyze different ways in which “old” and “new” media are being used in world Christianity. Cases considered include Russian Orthodox attitudes towards television, colonial engagement with media and Christianity in Africa, use of television by Pentecostal preachers in South America, film production in Nigeria by independent Pentecostal or Charismatic churches, the use of radio in El Salvador, portrayals of Jesus in Indian film productions, and receptions of television in India. Through these and other studies, we investigate the dynamic use of media by Christians around the world who have appropriated different media in both creative and traditional ways to teach, evangelize, perform, and communicate their forms of Christianity. This dynamic use of media is evolving, remarkable, and yet also consonant with the diverse texture of Christian communities across the world.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Hybrid Encounters in Reconciliation Ecology</title>
      <link>https://jeremykidwell.info/publications/hybrid_encounters/</link>
      <pubDate>Tue, 01 Mar 2016 00:00:00 UTC</pubDate>
      <author>Jeremy Kidwell</author>
      <guid>https://jeremykidwell.info/publications/hybrid_encounters/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Over the past century, environmental scientists have developed a range of conservation approaches. Each of these, from management to restoration has embedded within it certain dualisms which create exclusive spaces or agencies for “human” and “nature.” I begin with a critique of these binaries as they occur in philosopher, Florence R. Kluck- hohn’s influential model and in more recent narratives about the “Anthropocene,” and then turn to examine some of the novel features of “reconciliation ecology” as it has recently been deployed in the environmental sciences. Though this model is beginning to see wider use by scientists, it has not yet been explored within a religious framework. Taking up Miroslav Volf’s suggestion that reconciliation involves a “double strategy” I highlight ways that reconciliation can (1) provide a viable model for promoting an “embrace” of the other and (2) better integrate the past history of negative human biotic impacts.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;The Heaven of Animals&amp;rdquo; by James L. Dickey&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here they are. The soft eyes open.
If they have lived in a wood
It is a wood.
If they have lived on plains
It is grass rolling
Under their feet forever.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Having no souls, they have come,
Anyway, beyond their knowing.
Their instincts wholly bloom
And they rise.
The soft eyes open.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To match them, the landscape flowers,
Outdoing, desperately
Outdoing what is required:
The richest wood,
The deepest field.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For some of these,
It could not be the place
It is, without blood.
These hunt, as they have done,
But with claws and teeth grown perfect,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;More deadly than they can believe.
They stalk more silently,
And crouch on the limbs of trees,
And their descent
Upon the bright backs of their prey&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;May take years
In a sovereign floating of joy.
And those that are hunted
Know this as their life,
Their reward: to walk&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Under such trees in full knowledge
Of what is in glory above them,
And to feel no fear,
But acceptance, compliance.
Fulfilling themselves without pain&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At the cycle’s center,
They tremble, they walk
Under the tree,
They fall, they are torn,
They rise, they walk again.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Time for Business: Business Ethics, Sustainability, and Giorgio Agamben’s ‘Messianic Time’</title>
      <link>https://jeremykidwell.info/publications/time_for_business/</link>
      <pubDate>Wed, 20 Jan 2016 00:00:00 UTC</pubDate>
      <author>Jeremy Kidwell</author>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Abstract&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Contemporary business continues to intensify its radical relation to time. The New York Stock Exchange recently announced that in pursuing (as traders call it) the ‘race to zero’ they will begin using laser technology originally developed for military communications to send information about trades nearly at the speed of light. This is just one example of short-term temporal rhythms embedded in the practices of contemporary firms which watch their stock price on an hourly basis, report their earnings quarterly, and dissolve future consequences and costs through discounting procedures. There is reason to believe that these radical conceptions of time and its passing impair the ability of businesses to function in a morally coherent manner. In the spirit of other recent critiques of modern temporality such as David Couzen Hoy&amp;rsquo;s The Time of Our Lives, in this paper, I present a critique of the temporality of modern business. In response, I assess the recent attempt to provide an alternative account of temporality using theological concepts by Giorgio Agamben. I argue that Agamben’s more integrative account of messianic time provides a richer ambitemporal account which might provide a viable temporality for a new sustainable economic future.&lt;/p&gt;
