Journal Article
“At the Present Time”: Christian Literary Scholars in the Last Days of Liberalism
2021
Overview
In recent years, Christian scholars of literature have become unusually vulnerable, because their historical commitments to the specificity of the human person on the one hand and to the givenness of their situation in the world on the other have brought them into conflict with dominant valorizations of will, desire, and self-fashioning above all—valorizations abetted by what Shoshan Zuboff calls “surveillance capitalism.” In this essay, I reflect on the current situation for Christian scholars, drawing upon recent work by Patrick Deneen for diagnostic purposes and by Christina Bieber Lake for practical advice about what is to be done.
