New and Noteworthy: ‘Living Room Theology,’ the Forgotten Apostle, and More

Three culture recommendations from our editors.

From the Madang podcast

Living Room Theology

Hosted by theologian Grace Ji-Sun Kim, the Madang podcast features erudite conversations with scholars, ministers, activists, and more. Named after the courtyards found in traditional Korean homes, the show provides an inviting, intimate space to envision a more just world. The Christian Century

The Forgotten Apostle

Though Mary Magdalene is called the “apostle to the apostles,” her legacy in the church is muddled with confusion. Church historian Jennifer Powell McNutt course corrects in The Mary We Forgot, a richly informative investigation of the woman who first preached the resurrected Jesus. Brazos Press

Renters, Unite!

In their lucid polemic, Abolish Rent, organizers Tracy Rosenthal and Leonardo Vilchis expose the fundamental injustice of the rent system and invite tenants across the country to wield their collective power. “This is not just a broken housing market but a whole rigged unhousing system,” they write. Haymarket Books

This appears in the November 2024 issue of Sojourners
