Sorry I’ve been absent for a while. Well, here’s part of my excuse – a new venture at Meridian Magazine “to engage scholars and thinkers on critical intellectual issues.” Check out my introductory “manifesto.” Tomorrow we begin with my introduction to Terryl Givens’ Wrestling with Angel, followed by Part One of my interview with Givens. Much discussion from Meridian/EXPAND will be previewed here at The Soul and the City, or will “spill over” here.
