Hi, I’m Ken Wolf. I’m a retired professor who spent forty years teaching History and Religious Studies courses and doing occasional administrative work at Murray State University in western Kentucky.
I have had a lifelong fascination with ideas, both “religious” and “secular” (or political) and in retirement have read much about “progressive Christianity.” If you are a spiritual seeker (which you can be even as a member of a church) and are disappointed with what has happened to the message of Jesus over the past 1500 years and if you see yourself as “spiritual but not religious” and don’t mind conversing with a layperson who has a degree in History instead of Religion, this blog is a place where we can share thoughts, occasional sarcastic comments and perhaps a few laughs.
Although I grew up in Davenport, Iowa and spent a few years in Indiana at the University of Notre Dame earning my Ph.D, during the past fifty years, I lived and taught in western Kentucky. As a child, I was raised Roman Catholic but I now walk a different spiritual path.
If you are not a hard-core materialist—which means you may be a church-goer or not, spiritual, agnostic, atheistic or simply a person who accepts some form of transcendence (or a higher power), check out the blog—incarnationpianity—and join the conversation about a better way—a more thoughtful, honest, and compassionate way—of being Christian—or just human.
