By Andrew Aghapour and Stephanie Gaskill

…o advocate for criminal justice reform as a result of their experiences at Angola. Some are content to continue participating in prison ministry and do not feel as though it is their role to try to change the system. Two people who visit Angola may come from the same theological background but have very different responses to their experiences within the prison. Cain has to cater to multiple audiences. So religious beliefs do not necessarily predi…

By Chakravarthi Ram-Prasad

…f the Lashkar-e-Taiba-trained attackers that they were acting on behalf of Indian Muslims, and makes Indian Muslims culpable of the indiscriminately violent largesse of the jihadis. Indian Muslims want their problems to be treated on their own terms, not as an element within a rationalizable circle of violence. In Britain too, Muslims are wary of arguments that tie violent jihadism with the difficulties Muslims face there or in other parts of the…

Gandhi, his Grandson, Israel, and the Jews

By Shalom Goldman

…s concern for making distinctions between the Jewish situation and that of Indians in South Africa and India. Buber addresses the Mahatma respectfully: I have been very slow in writing this letter to you, Mahatma. I made repeated pauses—sometimes days elapsed between short paragraphs—in order to test my knowledge and my way of thinking.

…rumpian candidate for Congress in 2020. (Feucht will be much in the news in 2024, because of his campaign with Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA youth organization to promote Donald Trump.) Some claim that Feucht is not NAR (or say nothing about his affiliation at all). However a simple look at his bio shows otherwise. Feucht was a volunteer worship leader at Bethel Church, headed by Apostle Bill Johnson, and went on to form his own ministry Burn 2…

By Murali Balaji

…spike in social unrest. Despite the complex nature of identity politics in India, one thing is more apparent: the unease with which Indians of all faiths are dealing with the conversation about conversion, as well as its ramifications beyond the country’s borders. As Pawan Deshpande and Padma Kuppa note, the discussion about ghar wapsi should be broadened to include the international implications of conversion politics in India. If evangelical gro…

UPDATED: Right-sizing the Threat of Political Violence in the 2024 Election — And After

By Steven Gardiner

…at it’s hard to imagine what that could look like. But we should not expect 2024 to be a simple replay of 2020. The flurry of right-wing and far-right mobilizing we saw in 2020, much of it through mainstream social media platforms by Stop the Steal, has thus far not materialized in 2024. Rather than building toward mass protests with potential adjacent violence, far-right organizing has been focused on election officials and poll monitoring, inclu…

By Daniel Schultz

…It might as well be as old as Moses, given what a commonplace it is for right-wing Christians. The rest of it is a chestnut of its own. We ought to just be grateful that Lindell isn’t enforcing coronavirus rectitude with a hatchet. (Carrie Nation was also an unabashed self-promoter, by the way.) It’s a strand that goes back to Wesleyan perfectionism and Calvinist propriety, some of the deepest roots of American religion. It may look like faith se…

First Draft Of History Today Could Be Fox News Promo Tomorrow

By Lauri Lebo

As President Obama signs the health care bill into law today, we are watching the first draft of history. But imagine what students a generation from now will be taught about the most significant overhaul of this nation’s health-care system since Medicare if the conservative activists on the Texas Board of Education are successful at their long-range goal of using the public education system to rewrite history. If publishers kowtow to the board a…
