Episode 105 - Race, Capitalism, and The Divine Economy (feat. Jonathan Tran) How do we engage and develop a framework of understanding for the topic of race in our times and how does it intersect with capitalism? Especially from an Asian experience in North America, how do we learn to unravel these assumptions and scripts that have formed our identity and relations to others? The invitation of God is to rediscover who we are and our purpose in God's divine economy and abundance. Check it out!!

The podcast, featuring Dr. Jonathan Tran and Dr. David Chao, examines recent developments in Asian American theology, highlighting its growing visibility alongside persistent challenges in penetrating mainstream theological discourse. Dr. Tran underscores the need to shift focus from dominant institutions to community-centered initiatives, recognizing the decline of interest in systematic theology and the importance of addressing generational dynamics within Asian American churches. He argues for a theology that integrates difference with shared foundations, using linguistic philosophy to illustrate the relational and contextual nature of faith. The discussion concludes with optimism about the creativity of Asian American Christians in shaping their faith journeys and the hope rooted in Jesus as an active agent of reconciliation and renewal.Photo by Andrew Seaman on Unsplash This is a public episode.

The Politics of the Sermon on the Mount Matthew 6:9-13 | Jonathan Tran

In this episode David Chao sits down with Jonathan Tran, Associate Dean for Faculty and Associate Professor of Theology and Great Texts at the Honors College, Baylor University, to explore themes from his book, Asian Americans and the Spirit of Racial Capitalism. Together, they dive into the complexities of racial capitalism, Asian American identity, and the role of faith in navigating these systemic realities. Dr. Tran shares insights on how racial and economic systems intersect, the challenges of Christian discipleship in capitalist structures, and how communities can imagine and live out alternative paths rooted in justice and mercy.

Any serious consideration of Asian American life forces us to reframe the way we talk about racism and antiracism. There are two contemporary approaches to antiracist theory and practice. The first emphasizes racial identity to the exclusion of political economy, making racialized life in America illegible. This approach's prevalence, in the academy and beyond, now rises to the level of established doctrine. The second approach views racial identity as the function of a particular political economy--what is called "racial capitalism--and therefore analytically subordinates racial identity to political economy. In Asian Americans and the Spirit of Racial Capitalism (Oxford UP, 2021), Jonathan Tran develops arguments in favor of this second approach. He does so by means of an extended analysis of two case studies: a Chinese migrant settlement in the Mississippi Delta (1868-1969) and the Redeemer Community Church in the Bayview/Hunters Point section of San Francisco (1969-present). While his analysis is focused on particular groups and persons, he uses it to examine more broadly racial capitalism's processes and commitments at the sites of their structural and systemic unfolding. In pursuing a research agenda that pushes beyond the narrow confines of racial identity, Tran reaches back to trusted modes of analysis that have been obscured by the prevailing antiracist orthodoxy and proposes reframing antiracism in terms of a theologically salient account of political economy.

Jesus and the End of War Matthew 5:43-47 | Jonathan Tran

What are the economic forces that underly racist thinking? What are the theological dimensions of racism? How does the “political economic distortion of the divine economy” impacts the contemporary experience of and response to racism?In this episode, Jonathan Tran (Baylor University) joins Matt Croasmun to discuss his book, Asian Americans & the Spirit of Racial Capitalism, focusing on the unique experience of Asian Americans, and Jonathan's own experience growing up as a war refugee in southern California; where race and racialized thinking really comes from and how we can understand its history and its impact today; Christian moral psychology; meritocracy and capitalism; and they discuss a unique Christian community—Redeemer Community Church in San Francisco that offers a unique experiment in bearing witness to the economic and racial realities of life today, but through the theological framing of the Gospel.About Jonathan TranJonathan Tran is a theologian and ethicist, and is Associate Dean for Faculty in the Honors College and Professor of Theology in Great Texts at Baylor University. His research focuses on the human life in language, and what that life reveals about God and God's world. Lately, that research has focused on race and racism, and his book Asian Americans and the Spirit of Racial Capitalism attempts 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's original revolution.Show NotesThe roots of Asian Americans and the Spirit of Racial CapitalismAre we thinking about racism backwards?Race as a self-interpreting categoryIs race just obvious? Is it just about the racialized relationships we have with each other?“Rather than thinking of race as basic, we want to ask the question, when and where and how did race come to capture our imaginations, such that we just now assume it as basic?”What is political economy?Connecting an understanding of economy to God's essence and existence“The structure of creation is in a sense hardwired as gift.”“One of the first ways we talked about the gospel in the early church was as the divine economy, an economy of gratuity and grace over and against the world's privation and predation.”Gift economyPope Francis's “Our Common Home”“What is the material political economy out of which the concept and category of race began?”“Race was utilized in Europe and America to create a kind of ideological justification for relationships of property and labor.”Race and unjust labor practicesIs capitalism coextensive with racism?Marxism vs theological answers to the problem of capitalism and racismUnderstanding Marxism with an example: Waco, TexasBlack Marxism as a corrective to White MarxismChristianity and Moral PsychologyAnti-racism, post-racialism, identitarianismReverse engineering racism to produce Black dignity, Black power, or Black politicsGiving race explanatory power“I'm not essentially Asian, but I've been racialized as an Asian person.”Does racism against Asian Americans count?Double marginalization: first by racism, then by anti-racismFoucault's “history of the present”“[Race] is necessarily binary thinking.”Meritocracy and capitalismCase Study: Redeemer Community Church in San Francisco (https://www.redeemersf.org/)The Joy–Dispossession Elipse: “Joy without dispossession is escapist. Dispossession without joy is sadist.”The Gospel as proclamation instead of resistance“Marxists in our sense are waiting for the revolution to start. Christians are leaning into a revolution that's a few thousand years old.”Production NotesThis podcast featured Jonathan Tran & Matt CroasmunEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Macie Bridge, Alexa Rollow, & Tim BergelandA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/give

This week we discuss recent laws blurring the lines between church and state, and a little sports. #EndChristianNationalism  Question of the WeekWhat does success and legacy mean in the church and faith context?Special Guest: (23:00)Dr. Jonathan Tran, Associate Dean for Faculty in the Honors College and Professor of Theology in Great Texts, Baylor UniversityGuest Question:You have talked a lot about racialized capitalism. How do you see technology as a potential tool to help change systems and overcome barriers racialized capitalism creates? Of course, technology can also perpetuate inequality through things like lack of access. Further, we see communities that have been locked out of traditional finance systems like banks turning to alternative finance options such as cryptocurrency, which while accessible is also risky. What are your thoughts on this and how do you see the church playing a role in all of this, if any?

James Cone died five years ago this month. He is one of the legends of American theology, writing books like A Black Theology of Liberation, God of the Oppressed, and The Spirituals and the Blues. One of the last books of his celebrated career, The Cross and the Lynching Tree, was published in 2011. And, because this episode releases on Good Friday, when Christians remember Christ's own lynching, it is fitting to discuss this significant book. I am very glad to have the Rev. Dr. Malcolm Foley joining us to discuss James Cone's book. Malcolm is a historian of American religion, and has focused his studies on lynching and Protestantism in America. We're going to discuss James Cone's book, but we're also going to get to hear from Malcolm about his own work, which he does in both academic and ecclesial contexts. The Rev. Dr. Malcolm Foley serves as the Special Advisor to the President of Baylor University for Equity and Campus Engagement as well as the director of the Black Church Studies Program at Truett Theological Seminary. He is also a pastor at Mosaic Waco, an intentionally multi-cultural, non-denominational church in Waco, TX.

JUDAS, DISAPPOINTMENT, AND THE REDEMPTION OF ALL THINGS MARK 14: 1-10 | Jonathan Tran

JUDAS, GOSPELS LURKER Mark 14: 10-21 and 44-46 | Jonathan Tran

In thinking through theological questions of solidarity, Dr. Jonathan Tran proposes an analytical lens of political economy in order to diagnose, by way of thick descriptions, relations between African Americans and Asian Americans. This allows for two theologies of anti-racism: attentive waiting and revolution. The newly expanded Center for Asian American Christianity at Princeton Theological Seminary comes at a critical time in the life of Asian America. Asian Americans are the fastest-growing racial-ethnic demographic in the United States. The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the persistence of anti-Asian racism. Moreover, minority and immigrant churches are poised to transform the face of Christianity in the United States in the next few decades. The Center for Asian American Christianity seeks to equip and empower the next generation of Asian American leaders for service in church, society, and academy.

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Jonathan Tran. Originally from Southern California, Jonathan joined Baylor University's Religion Department in 2006 after completing his graduate studies in theology and ethics at Duke University. He teaches undergraduate and graduate courses and his research examines the theological and political implications of human life in language. Jonathan is the author of several books, which we discuss in this episode. His latest book is entitled, "Asian Americans and The Spirit of Racial Capitalism." This episode covers a lot of ground. We start by exploring how the traumatic death of his brother shaped the trajectory of his life story. From there we explore his encounter with religion, the influence of Stanley Hauerwas on his thinking during his time at Duke, the contemporary relevance of Michel Foucault's philosophy, the difficulty with gender and sex and how the overturning of Roe v. Wade highlights the problematic state of our collective existence. If you'd like to connect with Jonathan, please visit his website: https://jonathantran.blog

“You can't tell the story of American racism without also telling the story of American religion.” Dr. 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 “Asian Americans and the Spirit of Racial Capitalism” (2021), and “The Vietnam War and Theologies of Memory” (2010). Jonathan's research focuses on human life in language, and what that life reveals about God and God's 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's original revolution. Jonathan was actually recommended to us by a listener, and you'll 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.

It was a pleasure to speak with Dr. Jonathan Tran about his new book Asian Americans and the Spirit of Racial Capitalism. Dr. Tran begins with some fascinating engagement with political theory and a history of Delta Chinese, before moving into the metaphysical and theological underpinnings of his positive proposal in the latter chapters. Our conversation focuses on the more theological chapters, but the entire work is very thought provoking.

Dr. Jonathan Tran//May 2, 2021

Noted ethicist and theologian Jonathan Tran is the Associate Professor of Philosophical Theology and Chair of Religion at Baylor University.

Rev. Assoc. Prof. Frank Rees, systematic theologian and Baptist minister,  joins us to discuss the relational and egalitarian nature of the Trinity. We discuss the various ways the communal, intimate, transcendent, and interdependent nature of God is revealed in Isaiah 6:1-8, Romans 8:12-17, and John 3:1-17.  Frank concludes that the triune nature of God reveals “differences that don’t divide”  – a challenge and invitation to our way of being as Christians. We mention Jonathan Tran’s article, “The New Black Theology: Retrieving Ancient Sources to Challenge Racism“, Rublev’s Icon, and  Frank Maloney’s John Commentary.

In this conversation, David Chao, Melissa Borja, and Jonathan Tran share why the 2021 Asian American Theology Conference is important and why they look forward to it. Conference registration is free: https://ltiaa.com/ To learn more about the Asian American Program at Princeton Theological Seminary: https://www.ptsem.edu/student-life/asian-american-program/overview 0:00 Why have an Asian American theology conference? Its pragmatic function and the need for a space to turn pain into power. 4:29 Presbyterians and Asian Americans. 5:58 Racism and antiracism as theological issues: How do we talk about God in the midst of extraordinary forms of injustice? “The fight for justice is natural because justice is natural to God.” 7:22 Ethnography and the church. 8:24 Lots of positive energy for conversation and building relationships at these conferences. 9:12 Theological formation that connects justification and justice, especially for the next generation of Asian American churches. 11:11 The importance of conferences for exchanging ideas and for building relationships esp. during the social isolation intensified by the pandemic.

每日英語跟讀 Ep.K059: About Australia - Australia changes national anthem to reflect Indigenous history   The anthem, "Advance Australia Fair," has been tweaked to recognize the country's Indigenous history and communities, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced. 澳洲總理莫里森宣布，國歌「前進澳洲美之國」已經被些微修正，承認該國原住民歷史與社群。 The first line, "Australians all let us rejoice, for we are young and free," will now end with "one and free." 第一句「澳洲人，讓我們歡笑吧，因為我們年輕又自由」，將改為以「團結又自由」結束。 The anthem has become controversial in recent years, amid growing conversation about Indigenous representation, systemic inequality, and racial injustice. In particular, many have pushed back against the phrase "for we are young and free", a nod to when Britain's First Fleet landed in Australia in 1788. 這首國歌在近幾年變得備受爭議，在愈來愈多關於原住民形象、系統性不平等，與種族不正義的對話中。許多人尤其反對「因為我們年輕又自由」這句（歌詞），贊同英國第一艦隊1788年登陸澳洲的歷史。 The government has a history of changing the song to be more inclusive － when Peter Dodds McCormick's original 1878 composition was declared the official national anthem in 1984, replacing "God Save the Queen," two instances of "sons" were switched with gender-neutral phrasing. 政府過去也曾改動這首歌，以更具包容性。當彼得．多滋．麥考米克1878年譜寫的原曲，於1984年取代「天佑女王」被定為國歌時。曾將歌詞兩處的「兒子」改為性別中立的詞語。   Next Article   Lobster shell patterns make concrete stronger 龍蝦殼圖案讓混凝土更堅固 Inspired by the natural, twisting patterns of a lobster shell, Australian researchers say they have found a way, using 3D printing technology, to improve the strength of concrete for use in complex architecture. 受到龍蝦殼自然、扭曲的圖案啟發，澳洲研究人員說，他們發現了一個方法，使用3D列印技術來改進用於構造複雜的建築混凝土強度。 Reinforced with steel fibres, the concrete becomes more durable when set in a pattern that copies a lobster shell, according to a new study from Melbourne's RMIT University. 根據墨爾本皇家理工大學一項新研究，用鋼纖增強的混凝土，製成仿龍蝦殼的圖案時，變得更耐用。 Rather than use a mould, the process involves depositing layers of concrete one on top of the other, directed from a computer program using 3D printing technology. 這個過程不用模具，而是在使用3D列印技術的電腦程式指導之下，把混凝土一層層沉積在上面。 “The lobster shell is always something that still amazes me by its very interesting shapes and architectures, and especially (as) the lobster shell is really amazingly very stiff,” lead researcher Jonathan Tran told Reuters. 首席研究員喬納森．特蘭告訴路透，「龍蝦殼一直以其非常有趣的形狀與架構讓我驚豔，特別是龍蝦殼真的硬到讓人訝異。」 Source article: https://features.ltn.com.tw/english/article/paper/1429554 ; https://features.ltn.com.tw/english/article/paper/1428933   通勤學英語15mins.Today榮獲 Apple Podcast 2020年十大熱門節目 KKBox 2020年十大Podcast風雲榜 (唯一語言學習Podcast) Himalaya 人氣票選播客總冠軍   每日英語跟讀Podcast，就在http://www.15mins.today/daily-shadowing 每週Vocab精選詞彙Podcast，就在https://www.15mins.today/vocab 每週In-TENSE文法練習Podcast，就在https://www.15mins.today/in-tense   用email訂閱就可以收到通勤學英語節目更新通知。

Dr. Jonathan Tran preached in honor of Absalom Jones. All Angels Church celebrated the blessed Absalom Jones, who the Episcopal Church commemorates each year during the first week of February. Absalom Jones was ordained as the first black priest in 1802, and spent most of his life and ministry as an abolitionist.

In his talk, "The Long Drawn Out Fate of Christian Unfaithfulness," Dr. Tran discussed "Race, Politics, Economy, and Tradition." A fascinating Q&A followed.
