Exciting news: I am spearheading a weekly series for Religion Dispatches exploring the intersection of religion, ethics, and maybe a bit of politics in the current season of Doctor Who! For the first week it's just me and James McGrath (of Exploring Our Matrix) posting, but we expect other contributors to join us shortly. In this week's installment, I discuss why the Doctor is an anarchist messiah, and James considers the Doctor's attitude to romance, interstellar exploitation, and whether or not the past should be changed (should one find oneself inside a time machine). Check it out here and check back again every week for new installments!
