Some links for the week …
If you’ve never read the Bulletin of the Colloquium on Violence and Religion, I think you’ll find it fascinating. There’s an excellent piece on the late Walter Wink (whose work deeply influences my own) and there’s a good review of Why Did Jesus, Moses, the Buddha, and Mohammed Cross the Road by Suzanne Ross (beginning on page 15).

I talked about my new book at State of Belief recently. A great conversation:
