  Lurking Under the Surface -...

  Horror can be a valuable conversation partner for the spiritual questions that animate so many of us. 
   
   
   
  Whether through a movie, television show, novel, or even myth, horror as a genre has always spoken to our deepest human fears and anxieties: fear of death, of the unknown, of knowing too much. Whether you're looking at classic narratives like Frankenstein, or contemporary films like Get Out, which explores racism and white guilt, horror provides a window into our culture and what makes us human. The same can be said of religion. 
   
   
   
  Horror movie buff and religion scholar Brandon Grafius finds common ground between these two seemingly disparate bedfellows—horror and religion—in Lurking under the Surface. What parallels can we draw between The Walking Dead and sacred texts? How do the stories of Hebrew Christian scriptures and apocalyptic films like A Quiet Place and Bird Box help us find hope when it's in short supply? When we treat them both seriously, we see that horror movies and religion lead us through the same sets of questions. Both explore questions of justice, hope, and our relationship to the world and the cosmos. And both offer us ways to make meaning out of the contradictory pieces of our world—a world filled with so much hope and so many recognizable fears lurking just beneath the surface.

  Muslim Cool - Race Religion and...

  This groundbreaking study of race, religion, and popular culture in the twenty-first century United States focuses on a new concept, "Muslim Cool." Muslim Cool is a way of being an American Muslim—displayed in ideas, dress, social activism in the 'hood, and in complex relationships to state power. Constructed through hip hop and the performance of Blackness, Muslim Cool is a way of engaging with the Black American experience by both Black and non-Black young Muslims that challenges racist norms in the U.S. as well as dominant ethnic and religious structures within American Muslim communities. 
   
   
   
  Su'ad Abdul Khabeer illuminates the ways in which young and multiethnic US Muslims draw on Blackness to construct their identities as Muslims. Thus, by countering the notion that Blackness and the Muslim experience are fundamentally different, Muslim Cool poses a critical challenge to dominant ideas that Muslims are "foreign" to the United States and puts Blackness at the center of the study of American Islam. Yet Muslim Cool also demonstrates that connections to Blackness made through hip hop are critical and contested—critical because they push back against the pervasive phenomenon of anti-Blackness and contested because questions of race, class, gender, and nationality continue to complicate self-making in the United States.

  Metaphysics - The Philosophy...

  Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy that explores the fundamental nature of reality, addressing the most profound questions about existence, the nature of objects, time, space, causality, and the universe itself. As one of the oldest areas of philosophical inquiry, metaphysics seeks to answer questions that lie at the core of our understanding of the world and our place within it. The term "metaphysics" derives from the Greek words "meta" (beyond) and "physika" (the physical), reflecting the idea of examining that which transcends the physical world and investigates the very structure of reality. 
  At its core, metaphysics asks: What is there? What is it like? How do things exist, and what is the nature of their existence? These questions are timeless, and their answers have evolved over centuries, often influencing or being influenced by developments in other branches of philosophy, science, and theology. In examining the nature of reality, metaphysicians delve into topics like the nature of objects and their properties, the concept of identity and change, the structure of time and space, and the possibility of alternate realities. 
  The scope of metaphysical inquiry is vast. One of the primary areas it addresses is ontology, which concerns the study of being and existence. Ontological questions include inquiries into the types of entities that exist, whether abstract entities (like numbers or concepts) exist independently of human thought, and whether the universe is fundamentally composed of matter or something more fundamental, like energy or consciousness.
