Our guest today is Elizabeth Suhay, the author of Debating the American Dream: How Explanations for Inequality Polarize Politics. Faith in the American Dream—the idea that anyone who works hard can achieve success—has waned in the 21st century. Decreases in economic mobility, increases in the wealth gap, and other economic shifts have undoubtedly influenced this decline. Dr. Suhay investigates how politics and political identity are intertwined with beliefs about the American Dream and the causes of inequality. Drawing on public opinion surveys spanning more than four decades, Suhay finds that Americans' belief in the American Dream is strongly related to their political party affiliation. While it is true that Americans have become more skeptical of the American Dream overall, Suhay finds this skepticism is concentrated among Democratic members of the public. Despite the increasingly working-class make-up of the Republican coalition, most Republican members of the public continue to believe the American Dream is reality. Elizabeth (Liz) Suhay is an associate professor of government in the School of Public Affairs, American University, Washington, D.C. She specializes in the study of U.S. public opinion and political psychology and is a Sine Civic Life Faculty Fellow and Vice Director of the Science & Policy certificate program. She has also co-edited three volumes including The Politics of Truth in Polarized America, with David Barker, The Oxford Handbook of Electoral Persuasion, with Bernard Grofman and Alex Trechsel, and "The Politics of Science" with James Druckman. She currently serves as Co-Editor-in-Chief of the journal Political Psychology and Editor of the Cambridge University Press Elements in Political Psychology series.

Nach einem Putsch gegen den autoritär regierenden Präsidenten Omar al-Baschir im April 2019 wurde in Sudan eine zivile Übergangsregierung eingesetzt, mit der lang gehegte Hoffnungen auf eine politische Transformation verbunden waren. Bereits 2021 kam es jedoch zu einem erneuten Putsch, durch den die ohnehin einflussreichen militärischen Kräfte im Land die Kontrolle übernahmen. Als im April 2023 die Integration der stark bewaffneten paramilitärischen Rapid Support Force (RSF) in die reguläre sudanesische Armee (SAF) scheiterte, brachen in der Hauptstadt Khartum Kampfhandlungen aus, die in einen umfassenden Bürgerkrieg mündeten. Kämpfe und Gewalt halten bis heute an und führen zu einer der gegenwärtig größten humanitären Katastrophen.

Jewish law, known as halakhah, is a unique legal system that has developed over a period of nearly two millennia, across multiple continents, and in innumerable different contexts. Dealing not only with ritual, Jewish law extends to virtually every aspect of life including ethics, business, war, and sex. This Handbook highlights foundational questions about the nature of Jewish law, emphasizing what distinguishes it from other legal systems and illuminating its vitality throughout history. The Oxford Handbook of Jewish Law (Oxford UP, 2025) navigates core issues such as halakhah's authority, its interpretation, and the meaningfulness of an ancient legal system in a modern period. With contributions from an interdisciplinary cast of authors, the Handbook spans law, history, sociology, and religion. Its chapters draw from a wide range of sources, including traditional texts such as Mishnah and Talmud, rabbinical codes, and legal opinions known as responsa. Moreover, chapters addressing pressing modern issues cover the material from diverse denominational perspectives. As halakhah remains deeply woven into the fabric of Jewish life and scholarship, The Oxford Handbook of Jewish Law offers readers an in-depth understanding of this rich and enduring legal tradition. Zev Eleff is President and Professor of American Jewish history at Gratz College. Roberta Rosenthal Kwall is the Raymond P. Niro Professor at DePaul University College of Law. Chaim Saiman is Chair in Jewish Law at Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law. Geraldine Gudefin is a modern Jewish historian researching Jewish migrations, family life, and legal pluralism. She is currently a Visiting Scholar at the Centre for Asian Legal Studies at the National University of Singapore, and is completing a book titled An Impossible Divorce? East European Jews and the Limits of Legal Pluralism in France, 1900-1939.

In this episode, we are honored to welcome Dr. John Z. Sadler, one of the most influential figures at the intersection of psychiatry, ethics, and philosophy. For more than four decades, Dr. Sadler has shaped the intellectual and moral foundations of psychiatric diagnosis, values-based practice, and clinical ethics consultation.Dr. Sadler is the Daniel W. Foster, MD Professor of Medical Ethics and Professor of Psychiatry and Clinical Sciences at UT Southwestern Medical Center, where he directs the Program in Ethics in Science & Medicine and leads the Division of Ethics in the Department of Psychiatry. He has served on the Parkland Hospital Ethics Committee since 1985 and was its co-chair and clinical ethics consultant for three decades—bringing philosophical inquiry directly into the realities of patient care.A co-founder of the Association for the Advancement of Philosophy and Psychiatry and longtime co-editor of Philosophy, Psychiatry, & Psychology, Dr. Sadler has helped define an entire field of scholarship. He is the author of Values and Psychiatric Diagnosis and the recently published Vice and Psychiatric Diagnosis, co-author of The Virtuous Psychiatrist, and editor of multiple definitive reference works including the Oxford Handbook of Philosophy and Psychiatry, the Oxford Handbook of Psychiatric Ethics, and the Oxford Handbook of Psychotherapy Ethics.In this wide-ranging conversation, we explore why philosophy matters in everyday psychiatric practice, from how values shape diagnostic systems like the DSM and ICD, to the ethical tensions that arise in clinical care. Dr. Sadler reflects on the virtues essential to modern psychiatrists, how trainees can cultivate conceptual competence, and where the philosophy of psychiatry is headed globally. The result is both an intellectual masterclass and a thoughtful meditation on what psychiatry is, and what it ought to be.Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/cruen/city-streetsLicense code: 2JJVCBQKEE2GJH5N

Today I have the immense pleasure of talking with Carissa Véliz, an associate professor at the University of Oxford, about her new book, Prophecy: Prediction, Power, and the Fight for the Future—from Ancient Oracles to AI.  Linking this work to her previous book, Privacy is Power: Why and How You Should Take Back Control of Your Data, Véliz writes: “ surveillance and prediction are digital technology's original sins.”In our wide-ranging discussion, we talk about how both massive and intrusive invasions of privacy at all levels of society and false claims to be able to predict the future erode democracy, are corrosive to ethics, and undermine people's ability to think for themselves.  Instead, we are conditioned to trust an unregulated band of “effective altruists” who claim to know better than we what kinds of lives we should prefer and the choices we should make.  Véliz argues instead that we should embrace the uncertain to build resilience, to prepare for contingency but not be determined by what we cannot see, and to foster curiosity and imagination.Carissa Véliz is an Associate Professor in Philosophy at the Institute for Ethics in AI, and a Fellow at Hertford College at the University of Oxford. She is the recipient of the 2021 Herbert A. Simon Award for Outstanding Research in Computing and Philosophy. She is a member of UNESCO's Women 4 Ethical AI. She advises companies and policymakers around the world on privacy and the ethics of AI. She is a board member of the Proton Foundation, along with Sir Tim Berners-Lee and Proton's CEO Andy Yen. She is the author of the highly-acclaimed Privacy Is Power (an Economist book of the year, 2020) and the editor of the Oxford Handbook of Digital Ethics. Her new book Prophecy was described as “The most important book you will read for years” by Roger McNamee, the tech investor and best selling author.

The Hoover Institution Center for Revitalizing American Institutions webinar series features speakers who are developing innovative ideas, conducting groundbreaking research, and taking important actions to improve trust and efficacy in American institutions. Speaker expertise and topics span governmental institutions, civic organizations and practice, and the role of public opinion and culture in shaping our democracy. The webinar series builds awareness about how we can individually and collectively revitalize American institutions to ensure our country's democracy delivers on its promise. The Center for Revitalizing American Institutions (RAI) held The Declaration of Independence: History, Meaning, and Modern Impact with Michael Auslin, Jonathan Gienapp and Jane Kamensky on February 4, 2026, from 10:00-11:00 a.m. PT. As America observes the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the Hoover Institution's Center for Revitalizing American Institutions (RAI) provided a renewed look at the origins and enduring influence of this defining national document. Expert speakers examined the Declaration's cultural and physical history, its philosophical foundations and contested meanings, and its evolving role in shaping debates about rights, equality, and self-government. Participants gained insight into how the Declaration continues to inform national identity, animate civic discourse, and guide the ongoing effort to fulfill the promise of America's democratic ideals. ABOUT THE SPEAKERS Michael Auslin is the Payson J. Treat Distinguished Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution. A historian by training, Auslin is the author of the forthcoming National Treasure: How the Declaration of Independence Made America and The End of the Asian Century.

Long hidden in an attic, vivid and revelatory poems shine a new light on the life and loves of Iris Murdoch.In the dusty attic of Iris Murdoch's Oxford home lay a battered, black chest. In 2016, when the chest was finally opened, Murdoch's life in poems was revealed. Renowned for her fiercely intelligent novels and groundbreaking philosophy, Murdoch was one of the great writers of the twentieth century. Yet she is also known for her equally radical life – intense friendships, relationships with both men and women, and an open marriage – about which much has, often controversially, been written. Now, her tightly wrought and vivid poems reveal a new, deeply personal account in Murdoch's own voice. They range over the preoccupations closest to her heart, from the state of Ireland to memories of a first love lost in the Second World War.We speak to Dr Miles Leeson, one of the editors of Poems from an Attic by Iris Murdoch, to learn more about this exciting discovery and how it adds to our understanding of the work of the famous philosopher and novelist. Dr Leeson also reads three poems from the book, 'Reverie in Winchester Cathedral', 'I find that honesty is a hard thing', and 'Macaw in the Snow'. Dr Miles Leeson is Director of the Iris Murdoch Research Centre at the University of Chichester and Visiting Research Fellow at Kingston University. He is Lead Editor of the Iris Murdoch Review, Series Editor of Iris Murdoch Today with Palgrave Macmillan, host of the Iris Murdoch Podcast, and has published widely on Murdoch's work. He published Iris Murdoch: Philosophical Novelist in 2010, the edited collection Incest in Contemporary Literature (2018), the festschrift Iris Murdoch: A Centenary Celebration (2019), the co-edited collections Iris Murdoch and the Literary Imagination (2022) and Iris Murdoch and the Western Theological Imagination (2025), co-edited her selected poetry Poems from an Attic: Selected Poems 1936-1995 (2025), and is currently writing Visiting Mrs Bayley and Other Essays (2026) Iris Murdoch and Feminism and editing The Oxford Handbook of Iris Murdoch (2028).You can find out more about him and his work here:https://www.chi.ac.uk/people/miles-leeson/Iris MurdochIris Murdoch was born in Dublin in 1919. After working in the Treasury and in the UN, she discovered philosophy, eventually becoming Fellow at St Anne's College, Oxford. Her philosophical concerns are at the heart of the 25 novels for which she became famous, gaining the Whitbread Prize for The Sacred and Profane Love Machine and the Booker Prize for The Sea, The Sea. Until her death in 1999, she lived in Oxford with her husband, the academic and critic, John Bayley.

Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/editorialtpv El día de hoy hablaremos sobre el capítulo 13 del libro The Oxford Handbook of Christmas, titulado “Anglicanism,” por Martyn Percy. Ver aquí: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-oxford-handbook-of-christmas-9780198831464?cc=gb&lang=en& Articulo: https://semperreformandaperu.org/2025/12/27/paz-en-la-tierra-la-navidad-en-la-iglesia-de-inglaterra/  Video: https://youtu.be/8IEihJmeT-E  PPT: https://semperreformandaperu.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/navidad_anglicana_una_paradoja_hibrida.pdf  ¿Qué hace “anglicana” a la Navidad, cuando el anglicanismo se define —paradójicamente— por su amplitud y su capacidad de mezclar? En este episodio seguimos a Martyn Percy para entender una tesis tan provocadora como útil: el genio anglicano está en su hibridación. La Navidad en la Iglesia de Inglaterra toma prestado, adapta y “domestica” prácticas de otras tradiciones: habla de “Midnight Mass”, celebra villancicos a la luz de las velas, y produce liturgias pastorales que funcionan como puerta de entrada a la fe.  Entramos, primero, al fenómeno de Christingle: un rito popular (naranja, vela, cinta roja y frutos) orientado a niños, que comenzó como iniciativa de recaudación y terminó marcando para muchos el inicio real de la temporada. Luego nos movemos al “rostro global” del anglicanismo: Nine Lessons and Carols y su proyección mediática desde Cambridge, un ejemplo de cómo la liturgia se vuelve memoria compartida y “religión implícita” en sociedades secularizadas.  Pero Percy insiste en una tensión clave: el clero suele vivir la Navidad con ambivalencia, porque la fiesta activa a la vez corrientes sagradas (Encarnación, caridad, esperanza) y seculares (consumo, nostalgia, vacaciones). Precisamente ahí, dice, el anglicanismo suele estar “en su mejor versión”: una Navidad de umbral bajo y recompensa alta, donde el Niño de Belén vuelve a ser “para todos”.

En este episodio —siguiendo el capítulo de Kirsi Stjerna— entramos en esa mezcla de raíces medievales, elementos precristianos y preferencias étnicas que, lejos de diluir la fe, suele funcionar como su lenguaje cotidiano: coronas de Adviento, árboles iluminados, villancicos y una liturgia que proclama la Encarnación como esperanza contra la muerte.  Exploramos por qué el luteranismo conserva el 25 de diciembre, organiza la temporada en doce días hasta Epifanía, y mantiene una sensibilidad “occidental” cercana a la misa en estructura—pero con un acento distintivo en la Palabra proclamada y el lugar del sermón. Luego nos detenemos en dos gigantes de la memoria luterana: Martín Lutero, con su repertorio de predicación y cantos navideños (incluida la teología de la cruz en clave de pesebre), y Johann Sebastian Bach, cuya música sigue marcando la experiencia navideña en iglesias y hogares.  Finalmente, viajamos por la diversidad: desde calendarios de Adviento y mercados alemanes hasta Santa Lucía en Escandinavia; desde el intercambio de regalos (reorientado hacia el Niño Cristo) hasta cenas que saben a ganso, curry o tamales. Una Navidad luterana, en suma, es teología hecha ritmo, luz y comunidad.

Acompañaremos el ritmo del calendario: el ayuno preparatorio que comienza el 15 de noviembre, la intensificación de los himnos y oficios desde el 20 de diciembre, y la “explosión” festiva cuando el ayuno se rompe en la mañana de Navidad. Veremos también por qué los regalos suelen desplazarse a san Nicolás (6 de diciembre) o al Año Nuevo (1 de enero), según tradiciones locales. Desde ahí, el capítulo nos guía al corazón doctrinal: la liturgia como pedagogía pública de la Encarnación, capaz de “re-escenificar” y, a la vez, explicar lo que la Iglesia confiesa. Luego pasamos del texto a la imagen: la iconografía de la Natividad, donde la veneración del icono, las velas y la disposición visual enseñan una teología del “mundo transfigurado”. Finalmente, descendemos a la casa: ritos serbios como el badnyak, la paja esparcida y la chesnitsa con moneda, y ejemplos griegos donde lo cristiano convive con memorias míticas y folclóricas. Un episodio para comprender cómo doctrina, símbolo y vida cotidiana se entrelazan en la Navidad ortodoxa.

Christian scholar Dr. Tim Larsen joins the show to explain the real origins of the Christmas traditions we hold dear today—from Santa Claus and reindeer to ornaments and the December 25th date itself. He debunks the persistent myth that Christmas is a pagan holiday, explores how centuries of tradition shaped modern celebrations, and helps separate historical fact from popular fiction. And yes—we settle the age-old question: Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?   Dr. Timothy Larsen is a Professor of History at Wheaton College in Illinois and the president of the American Society of Church History.  His scholarly expertise is the Victorian era, the period that has done so much to shape our Christmas celebrations today, and he is an expert on Christmas.  He is the author or editor of over twenty books, including Twelve Classic Christmas Stories: A Feast of Yuletide Tales and The Oxford Handbook of Christmas.

Esa etimología no es un detalle curioso, sino una clave interpretativa. En este episodio, recorremos la Navidad desde la perspectiva del catolicismo romano: una fiesta eminentemente litúrgica, donde la participación en la Eucaristía —y no solo el pesebre o la nostalgia— ha sido el corazón de la celebración por generaciones. El capítulo muestra por qué, en el calendario católico, la Natividad es la solemnidad más importante después del Triduo Pascual, y cómo la fiesta se despliega como “temporada” (octava, Epifanía, Bautismo del Señor) más que como un único día.   Entramos luego a una singularidad romana: cuatro misas vinculadas a la vigilia y, sobre todo, las tres misas del 25 de diciembre (noche, aurora y día), con su historia estacional y su densidad teológica. En ellas domina el motivo del “santo intercambio”: la Encarnación como asunción de nuestra fragilidad para abrir la vida divina al ser humano.   Finalmente, abordamos el punto más pastoral y actual: la “negociación” entre textos litúrgicos y expectativas populares. Pesebres, dramatizaciones, música, gestos, inculturación (de China a Kenia), y la predicación que busca unir el Niño de Belén con la cruz y la conversión cristiana.  

Johannes Zachhuber and Anna Marmodoro, eds., Gregory of Nyssa: On the Hexaemeron: Text, Translation, and Essays (Oxford UP, 2025) This book presents Gregory of Nyssa's On the Six Days of Creation (In Hexaemeron) as a specimen of Early Christian philosophy. It comprises Gregory of Nyssa's text in its Greek original accompanied by a new English translation, and seven accompanying essays by international specialists from diverse backgrounds. Each essay focuses on a section of the text and the arising philosophical issues. The essays complement each other in offering multiple perspectives on how Gregory's text may be approached philosophically and positioned in relation to other, more or less contiguous, philosophical theories, including the early Greeks Anaxagoras and Empedocles, Aristotle, and the Stoics. Rather than presenting a definite and exhaustive state of the art study of Gregory's text, this volume aims to open new pathways for research into In Hexaemeron. New Books in Late Antiquity is presented by Ancient Jew Review Johannes Zachhuber is professor of historical and systematic theology at Oxford.

En este episodio, siguiendo el capítulo de Christopher Ferguson, rastreamos cómo el festejo se expandió “alrededor del mundo” de un modo sin precedentes: llevado por colonos, misioneros, comercio y, más tarde, por radio, cine, televisión y la web.   Pero la globalización no fue homogénea. La Navidad se nacionalizó (con “estilos” ingleses o alemanes) y luego se estandarizó en parte por la influencia económica y mediática de Estados Unidos, desde luces eléctricas hasta una imagen internacional cada vez más uniforme de Santa. En paralelo, la política la instrumentalizó: desde la propaganda de regímenes totalitarios hasta el uso simbólico de árboles y villancicos en contextos de Guerra Fría; y la guerra la marcó con escenas inolvidables, como la determinación de celebrar en trincheras, campos de prisioneros o ciudades bombardeadas.   También miramos conflictos más íntimos: la ansiedad por la secularización, el peso de la logística navideña en los hogares, y la obsesión moderna por una “Navidad auténtica” que, paradójicamente, cambia cada década. Si quieres entender por qué la Navidad moderna es tan amada como disputada, aquí está la clave histórica.

Ver aquí: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-oxford-handbook-of-christmas-9780198831464?cc=gb&lang=en& Articulo: https://semperreformandaperu.org/2025/12/19/como-el-siglo-xix-realmente-invento-la-navidad/ Video: https://youtu.be/LpY9bkOnO78  PPT: https://semperreformandaperu.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/navidad_el_rio_de_cuatro_corrientes.pdf  ¿De verdad la Navidad estaba muriendo antes de 1843 y Charles Dickens la resucitó? Este episodio entra en el siglo XIX para poner esa historia contra la evidencia. A partir del capítulo “The Nineteenth Century”, seguimos cómo la Navidad ya era una festividad importante en Inglaterra en las primeras décadas del siglo, y cómo ciertos argumentos “clásicos” (por ejemplo, el supuesto silencio anual de The Times) se desmoronan al revisar los datos y el contexto editorial de la época.   Luego examinamos lo que sí cambió: la expansión y reconfiguración de la fiesta en clave victoriana. La Navidad se volvió más amplia y más densa: crecieron sus marcas domésticas (familia, infancia, regalos, árbol), su infraestructura cultural (villancicos, decoración, tarjetas), y su dimensión moral (caridad y responsabilidad social en un mundo industrial).   El capítulo también muestra un giro poco reconocido: la progresiva aceptación de la Navidad por parte de protestantes reformados y disidentes, que antes la rechazaban como “no bíblica”, pero terminaron incorporándola —a veces por la presión social, a veces por dinámicas de ministerio infantil y escuela dominical.   Finalmente, rastreamos dos símbolos decisivos: Santa Claus y el árbol, ambos difundidos en gran medida por redes cristianas y por tradiciones protestantes alemanas. La Navidad moderna no nació de la nada: fue una transformación acumulativa.

Este episodio desmonta ese cliché con evidencia histórica y una pregunta más interesante: ¿qué cambió realmente entre los siglos XVI y XVIII? A partir del capítulo “The Reformation and Early Modern Periods”, exploramos cómo distintos protestantismos reaccionaron de forma desigual ante las fiestas del calendario cristiano, y por qué la “guerra contra la Navidad” fue, en muchos casos, una batalla parcial, regional y difícil de sostener.   Entramos en la lógica puritana: la exigencia de un mandato bíblico explícito para los días festivos, la crítica a la “superstición” y la preocupación por la embriaguez y la inversión social asociadas a los Doce Días. Seguimos el rastro de las prohibiciones—Inglaterra (1647), Escocia y Nueva Inglaterra—y vemos cómo la resistencia popular y los giros políticos limitaron su alcance.   Pero el episodio no se queda en los bans: muestra también la continuidad y la adaptación. Anglicanos defendieron la hospitalidad y la celebración; en territorios luteranos se reorientaron prácticas (del regalo de san Nicolás al Christkindl); y en contextos católicos persistieron y se sofisticaron el belén, el tronco de Yule y la música navideña. Si quieres entender por qué la Navidad moderna es una mezcla de devoción, cultura y política, aquí tienes el mapa histórico.

En este episodio viajamos a la Europa de los siglos XII al XIV para entender cómo la celebración del nacimiento de Cristo se convirtió en una temporada extensa, precedida por el rigor del Adviento (ayuno, disciplina y expectativa) y seguida por días de intensa alegría comunitaria.   Entramos en la catedral para asistir a una Navidad que no era “un solo día”: vigilias, oficios y hasta tres misas en la jornada, con un lenguaje simbólico que presentaba la Encarnación como retorno de la luz y culminación de la historia humana. Pero fuera —y a veces dentro— del templo, aparece otra dimensión: banquetes, mummers, procesiones y un espíritu carnavalesco que tensionaba la frontera entre lo sagrado y lo festivo.   Conocerás figuras y prácticas sorprendentes: el Boy Bishop, la Feast of Fools, la entrada de animales en ceremonias, y el desarrollo de dramas litúrgicos (desde la escena de los pastores hasta las representaciones proféticas) que educaban deleitando. También veremos por qué, hacia fines de la Edad Media, ciertos excesos fueron objeto de reformas y prohibiciones. Si creías que la Navidad siempre fue “tranquila y doméstica”, este capítulo de historia te va a obligar a replantearlo.

Este episodio te lleva al corazón de una discusión histórica fascinante: la Navidad no nació con una “fecha bíblica” explícita, sino en un terreno donde exégesis, liturgia y cultura antigua se cruzan. A partir de testimonios tempranos (como los cálculos atribuidos a cristianos en torno al año 200) y del auge de la Epifanía (6 de enero) en amplias zonas del Mediterráneo oriental, exploramos cómo el cristianismo empezó a “fechar” lo que los Evangelios no fechaban, mientras la fe se institucionalizaba y el calendario eclesiástico adquiría densidad simbólica.  Luego entramos al gran debate moderno: ¿fue una estrategia para desplazar fiestas paganas del solsticio (el llamado modelo “Historia de las religiones”) o el resultado de cómputos simbólicos que vinculaban concepción y muerte de Cristo (la hipótesis de “Cálculo/Computación”)? Veremos por qué algunas evidencias clásicas se han debilitado y otras han ganado fuerza, y cómo Roma ofrece uno de los primeros anclajes firmes para el 25 de diciembre en el siglo IV. Si alguna vez te preguntaste si “Navidad es cristiana o prestada”, aquí encontrarás matices, fuentes y argumentos para pensar con rigor.

Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/editorialtpv El día de hoy hablaremos sobre el capítulo 7 del libro The Oxford Handbook of the Protestant Reformations, titulado "The Bohemian Reformations”, por Howard Louthan. Ver aquí: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-oxford-handbook-of-the-protestant-reformations-9780199646920?cc=gb&lang=en& .  Bohemia no vivió “una” Reforma: fue un laboratorio de reformas que chocaron, coexistieron y se reciclaron durante tres siglos. De la predicación masiva de Hus en la Capilla de Belén y los Cuatro Artículos de Praga —con el cáliz como emblema— a una Iglesia utraquista que negoció su lugar entre Roma y los radicales, la historia se niega al relato lineal de “Hus-Lutero-Comenio”. En 1485, Kutná Hora selló el primer arreglo biconfesional de Europa; más tarde, la pluralidad se amplió con luteranos, anabaptistas y la Unidad de los Hermanos, que levantó escuelas y dio a la lengua checa la Biblia de Kralice. La Confesión Checa (1575) intentó unificar un mosaico de prácticas bajo un credo negociado por las élites, hasta que la Montaña Blanca (1620) partió el país: represión, exilio y “protestantes ocultos”, pero también la proyección global de Comenio y los moravos. Nuestro episodio desmonta los mitos nacionalistas y muestra una Bohemia porosa: fronteras confesionales flexibles, símbolos disputados y una política de estamentos que tanto protegió libertades como frustró alianzas. Resultado: una Reforma polifónica cuyo eco viajó de Praga al Caribe.

Ver aquí: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-oxford-handbook-of-the-protestant-reformations-9780199646920?cc=gb&lang=en& .  ¿Cómo sonaba la Reforma? Este episodio cuenta la revolución del “paisaje sonoro” que convirtió a los cristianos en oyentes y cantores (fides ex auditu): himnos vernáculos luteranos que salieron del coro escolar a la plaza; salmos métricos ginebrinos que disciplinaron la piedad como oración común; y hasta silencios programáticos en Zúrich, donde Zwinglio expulsó órgano y polifonía. También visitamos Inglaterra, donde el salterio de Sternhold y Hopkins colonizó parroquias y hogares, y escuchamos a anabaptistas cantando martirios en manuscritos clandestinos. El resultado no fue “música sí / música no”, sino modelos rivales: para Lutero, canto como proclamación sonora; para Calvin, canto como oración regulada; para muchas ciudades, una pedagogía que pasó por escuelas, imprentas y casas. La Reforma se impuso tanto por lo que se predicó como por lo que se cantó (y dejó de cantarse): nuevos timbres, nuevas coreografías del culto y una industria editorial que vendió fe en octavos. Así nació una Europa que aprendió doctrina a varias voces… y marcó su identidad confesional con melodías.

Este episodio desvela el nervio político de la Reforma: cómo el llamado evangélico a someterse a las “autoridades establecidas por Dios” (Mt 22:21; Ro 13) dio fuerza al Estado… y, paradójicamente, encendió teorías de resistencia. Pasamos de la “doble regimentación” luterana a la visión de Calvino sobre un gobierno civil que protege la verdadera adoración, mientras surgen límites al poder y el papel de los “magistrados inferiores” frente a tiranos. Veremos la polémica del Juramento de Lealtad y la defensa del soberano (Jacobo VI/I y, luego, Hobbes), junto a los hilos humanistas y escolares que alimentan el Vindiciae contra Tyrannos y el derecho constitucional a frenar abusos. ¿Revolución? Delas guerras campesinas a los radicales del siglo XVII, la Reforma abrió un imaginario donde obediencia, ley y esperanza apocalíptica chocaron y redefinieron la política occidental.

Ver aquí: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-oxford-handbook-of-the-protestant-reformations-9780199646920?cc=gb&lang=en& .  La Reforma también se juzgó en sala: allí donde el púlpito se cruzó con el banquillo. Este episodio muestra cómo los tribunales —civiles y eclesiásticos— no solo castigaron, también dialogaron y negociaron identidades: incluso el consistorio de Ginebra se parece hoy menos a un mazo disciplinario que a una “tutela forzosa” del alma, con admoniciones, multas y penitencias públicas antes que exclusiones definitivas. Veremos por qué “secularizar” el matrimonio significó, en la práctica, continuidad: divorcios raros y muy restringidos (adulterio o abandono malicioso), bodas con testigos y consentimiento paterno, y mucha casuística heredada del ius commune. Recorremos consistorios locales —dominados por laicos— que se reunían semanalmente para causas de moral, injurias y disputas domésticas, y que cooperaban (o chocaban) con juzgados civiles por blasfemia, brujería o bigamia.    También miramos la sombra de género: la “casa santa” como ideal legal, el “banquillo de la penitencia” escocés y la carga desproporcionada sobre mujeres en casos de fornicación, ilegitimidad o infanticidio.    Conclusión: más que un proyecto vertical, la cultura protestante se fraguó “horizontalmente” en tribunales abarrotados, donde vecinos, rumores y escrituras convirtieron el pecado en expediente… y la disciplina en conversación.   Siguenos: - Web: https://teologiaparavivir.com/ - Blog: https://semperreformandaperu.org/ - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/teologiaparavivir/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/teologiaparavivir/ - Youtube: https://www.instagram.com/teologiaparavivir/

Ver aquí: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-oxford-handbook-of-the-protestant-reformations-9780199646920?cc=gb&lang=en& .  La Reforma no solo cambió doctrinas: reescribió el guion del domingo. Del altar sacrificial y el bosque de imágenes se pasó a un espacio centrado en Escritura, sermón y comunidad disciplinada. Lutero propuso una “Misa” vernácula y flexible (1523/1526), con música y gran aprecio por lo heredado; Zúrich, en cambio, suprimió cantos e imágenes y, en 1525, celebró la Cena con mesa de pan común y vino, silencio y ministros de negro: teología visible en cada gesto. El púlpito se elevó como nuevo centro; la confesión auricular luterana previa a la comunión contrastó con el arrepentimiento colectivo reformado, que además reguló el acceso con fichas de admisión. Bautismo y matrimonio salieron del umbral y entraron ante toda la congregación; la “churching” posparto pervivió en luteranos y anglicanos, mientras los reformados la rechazaron. Hasta los funerales cambiaron: de largas pompas a sobriedad y, en Ginebra, sepultura rápida y sin marcas. Resultado: una liturgia en perpetuo ajuste, donde muebles, palabras y cuerpos enseñaron fe… y gobernaron costumbres.

It's a story that seesaws between extremely close cooperation and virtually full ruptures and severe sanctions. And the goal of this interview is to learn from history how Pres. Trump's 50% tariffs may impact our relations with India now! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

When an actor opens their mouth to sing in a movie, chances are high that the voice you hear will be their own. Even in music biopics, movie stars without much singing experience regularly go to great lengths to impersonate the most beloved vocalists of our time. Why not simply play Johnny Cash or Bruce Springsteen's actual recordings, the reasons why we care about them in the first place? When the world is full of beautiful singing voices, why force Pierce Brosnan to bray his way through Mamma Mia? What you hear when an actor unhinges their jaw is a matter that Hollywood has been negotiating since the dawn of sound. So in this episode, we'll learn about the “ghost singers” of classic Hollywood musicals, find out why they went extinct, and why today's music biopics so often fudge the music. Then we leave Hollywood for Bollywood, where the rise of the celebrity “playback singer” shows what can happen when good singing is the highest priority. In this episode, you'll hear from Slate's pop music critic Jack Hamilton; musicologist Dominic Broomfield-McHugh, editor of The Oxford Handbook of the Hollywood Musical; Stephen Cole, co-author of a memoir by the ghost singer Marni Nixon; Isaac Butler, longtime Slate contributor and scholar of American acting; and Nasreen Munni Kabir, who has written several books on Hindi cinema and curates Indian films for the UK's Channel 4.

When an actor opens their mouth to sing in a movie, chances are high that the voice you hear will be their own. Even in music biopics, movie stars without much singing experience regularly go to great lengths to impersonate the most beloved vocalists of our time. Why not simply play Johnny Cash or Bruce Springsteen's actual recordings, the reasons why we care about them in the first place? When the world is full of beautiful singing voices, why force Pierce Brosnan to bray his way through Mamma Mia? What you hear when an actor unhinges their jaw is a matter that Hollywood has been negotiating since the dawn of sound. So in this episode, we'll learn about the “ghost singers” of classic Hollywood musicals, find out why they went extinct, and why today's music biopics so often fudge the music. Then we leave Hollywood for Bollywood, where the rise of the celebrity “playback singer” shows what can happen when good singing is the highest priority.
