What's this for?

A reading group, so far imaginary, formed by graduate students at St. John's College, Annapolis.

The name comes from the experimental theologians in the other Oxford of Philip Pullman's The Golden Compass. What they do there is actually something like physics, only with a peculiarly theological curiosity regarding dark matter, or, in Milton's phrase, His dark materials. Good stories ensue.

(Not to be confused with the Experimental Theology blog belonging to professor Richard Beck.)
