100 most dangerous academics

/ 19 February 2006

Isn’t it interesting that, as far as I can tell, there are no theologians on David Horowitz’s list of the 100 most dangerous academics? Help me out because I’m not familiar with all of these people. The people whose work I know who are on this list, people like Todd Gitlin, Robert McChesney, and bell hooks, are all people whose work I’ve admired. There are also very few religious schools on the list. Let me repeat: what does that mean? Aren’t theologians supposed to be on the cutting edge of confronting a culture? Shouldn’t our attempts to live out our witness, our confession of faith, our prophetic imagination, bear some kind of fruit by making us dangerous to the status quo?
