b"\\u201cYou can't tell the story of American racism without also telling the story of American religion.\\u201d\\nDr. Jonathan Tran is a Christian Theologian and author in the heart of Texas (Waco) - currently serving as a professor of philosophical theology at Baylor University. Jonathan's originally from Southern California - by way of Vietnam - who never would have imagined a Christian vocation. Jonathan completed his graduate studies in theology and ethics at Duke University and has published really interesting works like \\u201cAsian Americans and the Spirit of Racial Capitalism\\u201d (2021), and \\u201cThe Vietnam War and Theologies of Memory\\u201d (2010). Jonathan\\u2019s research focuses on human life in language, and what that life reveals about God and God\\u2019s world. Lately, that research has taken Jonathan in the direction of thinking through race and racism - attempting to present racism as a theological problem, a political-economic distortion of the divine economy, and a problem given to the usual redress, the church laying claim to God\\u2019s original revolution. Jonathan was actually recommended to us by a listener, and you\\u2019ll appreciate hearing this intense conversation - especially as we all go through our own human experiences wondering about the big picture - and how each of our religious and societal experiences informs it.\\nLEARN ABOUT JONATHAN\\n\\njonathantran.blog\\n\\ntwitter.com/catjonathantran\\n\\nbaylor.edu/religion/index.php?id=933204\\n\\nMENTIONS\\n\\nBOOK: Torture and Eucharist: Theology, Politics, and the Body of Christ: goodreads.com/en/book/show/250893\\n\\nNYT ARTICLE: What About Structural Racism - nytimes.com/2021/11/09/opinion/structural-racism.html\\n\\nSON\\u2019S VIDEO: https://youtu.be/4m5_tUhBIzA\\n\\nFILM: Magnolia (1999) -.imdb.com/title/tt0175880\\n\\nPERSON: Cornel West - wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornel_West\\n\\nPERSON: Jesus - wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus\\n\\n\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
