Clayton Crockett

Clayton Crockett, an Associate Professor and Director of Religious Studies, dives into the radical changes reshaping religion and politics today. He discusses how the boundaries between the sacred and the secular have blurred since the 1960s, leading to a crisis in modern liberalism. Exploring themes of Southern Christianity, nationalism, and capitalism's limits, he reinterprets early Christian figures like Paul in contemporary contexts. Crockett also emphasizes the need for a fresh approach to biblical interpretation, urging inclusivity in understanding diverse texts.
