The Gospel According to St. Hereticus
Scripture Lesson for Easter
“St. Hereticus” was Robert McAfee Brown (1920-2001), a good old-fashioned left-leaning American theologian who published a series of satirical jabs under his heretical pseudonym for many years around the middle of the twentieth century. This piece was published in Christianity and Crisis, March 16, 1959. It was a lot funnier in the late 50s, no doubt, when a theologian could presuppose that American culture had a thin veneer of country club Christianity over it, a veneer which needed a good dose of theological mockery.
