<\/iframe><\/p>\nI would have been delighted to chat with Paul Driscoll no matter what \u2013 we are both interested in Doctor Who and theology. I mean\u00a0deeply<\/em> interested in matters of Whovian theology. But in our conversations prior to the recording of the <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/religionprof-podcast\/id1434490182?mt=2#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\" decorated-link\">podcast<\/a>, Paul made me aware of a series that hasn\u2019t received anywhere near as much attention as it deserves to have in the United States, namely <a href=\"https:\/\/obversebooks.co.uk\/theblackarchive\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\u201cThe Black Archive.\u201d<\/a> This <a href=\"https:\/\/obversebooks.co.uk\/theblackarchive\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">series from Obverse Books<\/a> offers volumes each on a specific episode of Doctor Who. There are a lot of them, and a lot more that still need to be written. I hope to manage to contribute to the series at some point in the future. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2D3YVlD\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Paul\u2019s volume on \u201cThe God Complex\u201d<\/a>\u00a0in <a href=\"https:\/\/obversebooks.co.uk\/theblackarchive\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">that series<\/a> is particularly interesting for anyone interested in Doctor Who\u2019s treatment of religious themes.<\/p>\nBefore I proceed further, I also want to mention the annual <a href=\"https:\/\/butler.scalefunder.com\/amb\/religionprof\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Butler University \u201cDay of Giving\u201d<\/a> which starts today, and will actually run for 1855 minutes (since the university was founded in 1855). Butler University has done so much to support my research and teaching in every area, including some that other institutions might look askance at such as Doctor Who, that I felt that it was unnecessary to do a separate <a href=\"https:\/\/butler.scalefunder.com\/amb\/religionprof\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\u201cDay of Giving\u201d<\/a> post. If you appreciate the work I do on Doctor Who, other science fiction franchises, the New Testament, the historical Jesus, the Mandaeans, or anything else, then please do give something to Butler University today. Your gift, however small, will be immensely appreciated. <a href=\"https:\/\/butler.scalefunder.com\/amb\/religionprof\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Here\u2019s the link to my own personal \u201cDay of Giving\u201d portal<\/a>:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/butler.scalefunder.com\/amb\/religionprof\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/butler.scalefunder.com\/amb\/religionprof<\/a><\/p>\nIf you read my blog without using adblocking software, and circulate things that I write among your connections by whatever means, you already do something to support me personally.\u00a0\u00a0If you appreciate the work that I do, however, keep in mind that it is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/religionprof\/2018\/11\/sblaar18-recap.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\">made possible by my being employed by Butler University to teach and research about these topics<\/a>. I use a sound booth that they provide to record my podcasts. I use library resources galore. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/religionprof\/2018\/11\/sblaar18-recap.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\">Butler University supports my work in so many wonderful ways<\/a>. Today I\u2019m asking you to support them, as a way of expressing appreciation for all they do for me. You can specify a particular area that you feel strongly about supporting, such as our libraries, our Center for Academic Technology, the Religion program, our Center for Faith and Vocation, and many more. If you have no personal preference, feel free to say that you\u2019d like the money to go to an important program that is helping to get our new Social Justice and Diversity requirement in the core curriculum up and running:\u00a0the\u00a0Social Justice and Diversity Vocational Fellowship. Here is some more information about that program:<\/p>\n<blockquote>The\u00a0Social Justice and Diversity Vocational Fellowship<\/b>\u00a0is a newly established initiative designed to help Butler students connect their passions and future direction to some of our most complex global challenges. This program provides faculty development for designing new courses on social justice and diversity that infuse vocational reflection into these required courses, which will allow students to draw connections from their course materials to their own sense of purpose. \u00a0In partnership with the Center for Faith and Vocation,\u00a0 Butler Internship and Career Services, and the Social Justice and Diversity Core Curriculum Requirement, funding has been secured by the Network for Vocational Undergraduate Education through the Council of Independent Colleges and the Lilly Endowment, Inc.\u00a0 We are striving to raise a $24,000 match in order to sustain the second and third year of this program and unlock an additional $10,000 from NetVUE. \u00a0By donating to this initiative, you are helping Butler faculty design courses that will encourage students to identify themselves as difference makers in some of our most complex social justice and diversity challenges.

Or you can just specify that program as where you\u2019d like some or all of <a href=\"https:\/\/butler.scalefunder.com\/amb\/religionprof\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">your gift to Butler University<\/a> to go if you are on <a href=\"https:\/\/butler.scalefunder.com\/amb\/religionprof\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">the main Day of Giving page<\/a>. Either way, I am extremely grateful for anyone who <a href=\"https:\/\/butler.scalefunder.com\/amb\/religionprof\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">gives to Butler University<\/a>, because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/religionprof\/2018\/11\/sblaar18-recap.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\">I am extremely grateful to Butler University<\/a>. Not every professor has the freedom to research and teach about subjects like Doctor Who, and that is all the more true of professors who specialize in New Testament as the focus of their doctoral research. Of course, one can call Who-focused research \u201cdoctoral research\u201d as well, if one is feeling punny, as I usually am. But it is because Butler University is so passionate about student learning that it values the core curriculum, interdisciplinarity, public scholarship, and so many other things. It is Butler University\u2019s mission that makes my own work possible, and my own work in turn is serving that mission. Thank you for <a href=\"https:\/\/butler.scalefunder.com\/amb\/religionprof\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">supporting both<\/a>, because supporting one supports the other.<\/p>\nWhich allows for a natural segue back to the main central theme of this post and of <a href=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/religionprof\/episodes\/Episode-27-with-Paul-Driscoll-e2u664\/a-a8pjt4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\" decorated-link\">this week\u2019s ReligionProf Podcast<\/a>.
