4 WELCOME
It is my pleasure to welcome you to “Culture, Criticism, and the Christian Mind,” a conference co-sponsored by the Department of English and the Andreas Center for Reformed Scholarship and Service.
This year’s conference strikes me as especially timely. Last November, the prominent journal Books & Culture closed up shop after a healthy run of twenty-one years. Books & Culture was launched by John Wilson, shortly after Mark Noll published his 1994 book The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind: an analysis of the dire state of Christian scholarship. Noll’s book and Wilson’s journal served as a wake-up call for many young aspiring Christian scholars, writers, and cultural critics at the time.
Now that an earlier generation of Christian scholars and public intellectuals are retiring, who will step into the gap? What institutions, journals, and communities will provide fertile ground to cultivate the Christian intellectual imagination going forward?
The incredible range of scholarship and talent on display in the conference program encourages me that the Christian life of the mind is alive and well. Social critics constantly remind us of the shortcomings of American Christianity and evangelicalism–and with good reason. That is precisely why we need signs of hope–including occasions to participate in intellectual communities that faithfully pursue the true, the good, and the beautiful. I hope our conference serves as such an occasion for all of you, whether you are attending a talk on Terrence Malick or Cormac McCarthy, listening to poetry or young-adult fiction, or enjoying a conversation about crime novels or film criticism over lunch.
We’re very glad to have you. We hope that the conversations and friendships that begin here, amid the wind-swept prairies and harvested cornfields, will long outlive this weekend.
David Henreckson Director of the Andreas Center Assistant Professor of Theology Dordt College

6 WELCOME FROM THE DORDT COLLEGE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT
Have you looked over the program on the following pages? There’s not an event you’ll want to miss! As chair of the English Department, I welcome you to the Culture, Criticism, and the Christian Mind Conference. We are grateful to be able to present to you novelists and critics, showrunners and film reviewers, writers and editors, bands and scholars. If you see terms like the ones I just paired up—novelist and critic, for example—as oppositional, we hope the conference will change your mind. As we see it, we are all engaged in the task of discerning, creating, understanding, and (yes) critiquing culture from the point of view of the Christian faith. In this way, we build a community that values creativity, imagination, and thought—what we mean in our title by “the Christian mind.” And we’re glad you’re here to contribute to that joyful endeavor. So take in a concert or two, attend some interesting sessions, sign up for the open mic, and don’t miss the keynotes.
On behalf of the English Department, I wish to thank the Andreas Center for its generous support. We are particularly grateful to Davey Henreckson and Liz Moss, who ably facilitated this conference. Thank you also to our invited guests: we are still amazed that you all said “yes” to our conference. And thanks to all our contributors and guests—many of whom are Dordt English alums—for offering your creative and insightful work to the conference. We know you will give as much as you get.
Dordt’s English Department is the best I know, and I hope that this conference is testimony to the group’s dedication, insight, and commitment to learning (current students: the conference is really for you!). The department, listed in terms of length of service, includes Bob De Smith, Mary Dengler, Bill Elgersma, Howard Schaap, Josh Matthews, and Luke Hawley. Be sure to say hi!
For the English Department,
Bob De Smith

9 ANDREAS CENTER FOR SCHOLARSHIP AND SERVICE
The Andreas Center for Scholarship and Service is where Dordt College does Christian scholarship in public for the common good of the academy, the church, and society.
Its mission is to advance the development and influence of reformational thought in service to God’s kingdom. The Andreas Center was founded thanks to the generous estate gift of Lowell Andreas. With this gift, the Center carries out its mission by supporting and expanding opportunities, both on and off campus, for students, faculty, and staff to engage culture globally through scholarship and service.
The Andreas Center is located on the campus of Dordt College.
10 IN ALL THINGS
In All Things (iAt) is a journal for critical reflection on faith, culture, art, and every ordinary-yet-graced square inch of God’s creation. We want to expand our imagination for what the Christian life—and life of the mind—can accomplish. To this end, we will engage in conversation with diverse voices across a wide range of traditions, places, and times.
In pursuit of these aims, iAt hosts essays, reviews, and devotional pieces that seek to explore the concrete implications of Christ’s presence in all facets of life.

25 26 THE RURALISTS
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2 9 P.M.
THE FRUITED PLAIN [172 N MAIN AVE, SIOUX CENTER]
True believers in Dave Kramer’s ruralist platform know that art and beauty can be found hidden in the back of any old garage. One late summer evening, five guys hoisted a broken-spring garage door and gathered together rusted gas tanks and ancient oil pans, barn wood and bailing wire, all the best bits of whatever sound and strain they could uncover or acquire, constructing something stratified and sound, a mellifluous mouthful of sharp and shiny teeth, nuanced and narrative, northwest of nowhere, seeded in the silvery soil of soybeans and cornstalks, flavored by the very salt of the earth.
