Jonathan C. Rutledge

Typically, my published works are all in the vein of analytic philosophy or theology. All of the questions I pursue are connected in some way (at least, they are connected in my mind to) the project of human flourishing. What is it? How can we cultivate it and put practices into place that encourage it for a wide variety of people? That sort of thing. Also, given my background in Christian theology, many (all?) of the projects I pursue come out of such a context, which explains why, for instance, I write on questions of atonement and forgiveness (as opposed to forgiveness by itself). Atonement is a primarily Christian concept (even if it has popular manifestations these days), and so, it makes most sense to analyze it when a Christian worldview is on the table to begin with.
