Podcast appearances and mentions of tom krattenmaker

The mission of Yale Divinity School is "to foster the knowledge and love of God through scholarly engagement with Christian traditions in a global, multifaith context." A variety of Yale Divinity School faculty and alumni have been featured as guests on For the Life of the World, and this episode highlights some of those contributions, including Krista Tippett, Willie Jennings, Keri Day, Kathryn Tanner, and David Kelsey (not to mention Miroslav Volf and Ryan McAnnally-Linz). Current Yale Divinity Student Luke Stringer introduces each highlight segment. Special thanks to Harry Attridge and Tom Krattenmaker.Show NotesOur first segment features Yale Divinity School alum Krista Tippett, the founder and CEO of the On Being Project. She's a nationally syndicated journalist who has become known for curating conversations on the art of being human, civil conversations, and social healing. Miroslav Volf invited Krista onto the show to talk about the importance of engaging otherness on the grounds of our common humanity, her personal faith journey from small town Baptists in Oklahoma, to a secular humanism in a divided Cold-War Berlin, and then back to her spiritual homeland and mother tongue of Christianity.For the Life of the World launched in 2020 during an immensely chaotic and troubling year. The painful and confusing early days of the pandemic gave way to the horrifying footage of George Floyd's murder. In the days following this event, we aired a reflection by Yale Divinity School professor Willie Jennings and a conversation with Princeton Theological Seminary theologian and Yale Div school alum Keri Day. First, an excerpt from Willie Jennings' reflection on the murder of George Floyd. And then, theologian Keri Day shares the core motivations of Christians to embrace the other across lines of difference.This next segment features theologian, Kathryn Tanner, who spoke to Ryan McAnnally-Linz about the virtue of patience through the lens of economy and capitalism. She's the Frederick Marquand Professor of Systematic Theology at Yale Divinity School and her latest book is Christianity in the New Spirit of Capitalism.This final highlight segment features theologian David Kelsey, who is the Luther A. Weigel Professor Emeritus of Theology at Yale Divinity School, where he taught for 40 years. Ryan McAnnally-Linz, himself an alum of Yale Divinity School, brings Kelsey onto the show to talk about the wild and inexplicable grip of evil on earthly creatures, and the analogously wild and inexplicable nature of God's grace—and God's immediate, if silent, witness and presence to human anguish.Production NotesThis podcast featured Krista Tippett, Willie Jennings, Keri Day, Kathryn Tanner, and David Kelsey (not to mention Miroslav Volf and Ryan McAnnally-Linz)Edited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan Rosa and Luke StringerA 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

"An award-winning USA Today columnist makes the case for how a Jesus freed from religion and politics meets the need for meaning and purpose in secular America. Tom Krattenmaker is part of a growing conversation centered at Yale University that acknowledges—and seeks to address—the abiding need for meaning and inspiration in post-religious America. What, they ask, gives a life meaning? What constitutes a life well led? In Confessions of a Secular Jesus Follower, Krattenmaker shares his surprising conclusion about where input and inspiration might best be found: in the figure of Jesus. And Jesus, not only as a good example and teacher, but Jesus as the primary guide for one's life. Drawing on sociological research, personal experience, and insights from fifteen years studying and writing on religion in American public life, Krattenmaker shows that in Jesus, nonreligious people like himself can find unique and compelling wisdom on how to honor the humanity in ourselves and others, how to build more peaceful lives, how generosity can help people and communities create more abundance, how to break free from self-defeating behaviors, and how to tip the scales toward justice. In a time when more people than ever are identifying as atheist or agnostic, Confessions of a Secular Jesus Follower is a groundbreaking and compelling work that rediscovers Jesus--and our own best selves--for the world of today."

The media and religion scholars have talked quite a bit about "The Nones," those who report no religious affiliation in religion surveys. A segment of this group includes Secular Humanists, atheists and agnostics. Evangelicals need to understand this growing segment of America's population that is having a strong impact on religion and politics. In this episode, our guest is Tom Krattenmaker, who discusses Secular Humanism and related topics. Tom is a writer specializing in religion in public life and author of Confessions of a Secular Jesus Follower (Convergent, 2016), honored as one of the top two religion books of the year by the Religion News Association. Krattenmaker's second book, The Evangelicals You Don't Know (Rowman & Littlefield, 2013), on the "new evangelicals" in post-Christian America, was a winner in the best books competition of the Religion Newswriters Association in 2014.

Acton Institute's Ben Johnson talks about big victories in the areas of ministerial exemptions and birth control mandates in two landmark cases this  year.  Secular Jesus follower Tom Krattenmaker and Carmen have a civil discourse about politics, racial tension, and freedom of speech.

Been a while since we've been with you, lovelies. The world continues to end. Or is it just continuing to transform itself? This show has always been about borders. About intersections. About the boundaries out on the edges of the Self where subject and object, self and other, start to blend. Now, it seems more than ever, we need to engage the great, maligned and feared "other" rather than succumbing to the constant barrage of media that seeks to make us minimize and simply dismiss that which isn't "Us." Our guest this episode is a person that seeks to change that orientation. Tom Krattenmaker is a writer specializing in religion in public life and author of the new book Confessions of a Secular Jesus Follower (Convergent, 2016). His first book, Onward Christian Athletes (Rowman & Littlefield, 2009), examined Christianity in professional sports. The book was a winner in ForeWord Review’s 2009 book awards and a finalist in the Oregon Book Awards. Krattenmaker’s second book, The Evangelicals You Don’t Know (Rowman & Littlefield, 2013), on the “new evangelicals” in post-Christian America, was a winner in the best books competition of the Religion Newswriters Association in 2014. Krattenmaker writes regularly for USA Today’s op-ed page as a member of the newspaper’s editorial Board of Contributors.

He was a recipient of the 2009 “Friend of MET” award from the Portland-based Muslim Educational Trust and, in April 2013, was honored by Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon with its Hunderup Award for Religious Education. He resides with his wife in New Haven, Connecticut, and serves on the Board of Directors of the Yale Humanist Community. We recorded this episode a few months ago. Before the Trump era had fully taken hold. It is interesting to listen to the perspective of a cultural critic sitting on the front end of what was to come. We tend to avoid the overtly political here at OTBR. But in these times, even the exploration of consciousness seems to be a political enterprise (in that it involves people coming together to build consensus and mutual understanding). Tom is a great example of what a version of this understanding and mutuality might look like going forward. We were delighted to speak with him.

The StoryMen welcome journalist Tom Krattenmaker back to the show. Tom's provocative new book, Confessions of a Secular Jesus Follower, is all about why someone who doesn't believe in God wants to follow Jesus. Plus, an update on our StoryMen...

Today is all about books, but somehow we got into a long conversation about murderers (leave it to Susie to make that happen). We find out what books changed the way we see the world, why we're so book crazy, and what type of things we like to read. But seriously, there is a lot of talk about murderers. Susie tells the story of a murderer she knew growing up. We discuss how the BTK autobiography is TOTALLY FASCINATING. Plus, we talk shit on the Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and we make book recommendations for all you bookworms out there. Most importantly we interview Tom Krattenmaker author of Confessions of a Secular Jesus Follower. He is amazing and you will love him.

Can you be a Christian and not believe in God? Tom Krattenmaker thinks so.

Cities across the northeast are ranked as some of the least Bible-minded cities in America. Both inside and outside the church, people in our region have a lot of issues with the Bible. This September, Rev. Anne Robertson, humanist author Tom Krattenmaker, and Fr. Warren Savage are traveling to New Haven, Albany, Providence, and Boston to help us talk about it in a series of town-hall style discussions about the Bible. Learn more at massbible.org/experiment.

The Nones or "unaffiliated" are already the nation's second largest group. But they're far from a monolith, ranging from fiery atheists to "apatheists," or vaguely spiritual folks who have disconnected from denominational brands and apathetic about the whole business. What does it mean to the public square — and to voting patterns, which correlate closely to religious identity — when one in four Americans are unaware or uninterested in the religious distinctions of particular faiths? Moderator: Kimberly Winston, National Correspondent, Religion News Service; Editor, ReligionLink. Speakers: Daniel Cox, Director of Research, PRRI; Sarah Jones, Social Media Editor, The New Republic; Tom Krattenmaker, Communications Director at YDS; contributing writer USA Today, Yale Divinity School, USA Today Board of Contributors; Scott McConnell, Executive Director, LifeWay Research.

It’s that time of year when the panels of experts on sports call-in shows shout opinions on the best and worst of the past twelve months. To finish the year, New Books in Sports offers its own panels of experts. But rather than arguing over the biggest matches and plays of the year, they’ll share their insights into some of the most acute problems facing sport today. In the last year, the National Football League has had to contend with a growing body of evidence showing brain damage in former players. To learn how these discoveries are affecting football, from the professional ranks down to the youth level, and what they mean for the future of the game, we’ll hear from journalist Patrick Hruby and Michael Oriard, a longtime scholar of football and a former NFL player. We’ll turn from American football to the world game, and look at the impact of last June’s demonstrations in Brazil. Will the political upheaval in Brazil affect the FIFA World Cup in 2014, and will it change the decisions of FIFA and other organizations in awarding sports mega-events? We put those questions to economist Victor Matheson, Rio-based geographer and journalist Christopher Gaffney, and Tim Vickery, the BBC’s football correspondent in South America. And after a year of bad news that spilled from the sports pages to the front pages, we raise the question of whether our fandom compromises our sense of morality. We hear from journalist and author Gideon Haigh, philosopher Heather Reid, and religion writer Tom Krattenmaker about the toll that sport takes on moral character. And because this is New Books in Sports, we also need to get recommendations on some good reads. We’ll hear from David Steele of The Sporting News and cricket writers Bernard Whimpress and David Mutton about their favorite books of the last year. Learn more about your ad choices.
