Liftthescreen

Thanks for clicking on my blog. Just a few introductory comments. I am almost obsessively devoted to writing--books, blog, articles, and poetry. Since I'm confined to a wheelchair, writing is something I can do. My latest book (written with Ann Milliken Pederson and Susan Baretto), Our Bodies Are Selves is published by Cascade Press. The title pretty much tells you what it's about. The first installment of this blog explains my perspective. I'm at the age where I want to tell it like it is--hence the name: Liftthescreen. Look for an installment every month, sometimes more frequently. I taught Christian theology for nearly 50 years, most of those years at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. I also established the Zygon Center for Religion and Science, and for 20 years I edited the scholarly journal, Zygon: Journal of Religion and Science. Now I write about whatever interests me.
