Stephen Prothero, a professor of religion at Boston University, author of “God is Not One,” and chief editorial consultant for the PBS “God in America” series, announced with seeming surprise, “I survived!” after taking the Sabbath Manifesto “Unplug Challenge.”
But Prothero didn’t just survive, he took the challenge we posed to him to sign off from phone and Internet for 24 hours a step further, going 32 hours without cell phone or laptop and unplugging from radio and television even.
Being unplugged allowed him to connect with his past — a tattered but loved thesaurus.
