By Rob Shryock

…ownright bizarre things “Cussing Pastor” Mark Driscoll says, usually while promoting a new book, as well as the ensuing negative publicity and essays critical of Mark Driscoll, which somehow increase the popularity of Mark Driscoll’s new book. Mark Driscoll has a new book coming out, and with suspiciously good timing, he’s managed to initiate back to back controversies.

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…

By Daniel Schultz

…no difference between Mike Lindell and a dozen televangelists, save a thousand milligrams of lithium. If you have any doubts about the commodification of the healing grace of God, google it for yourself. There’s a part of American Christianity that believes deeply and sincerely that if they can make it out of the lion’s den, they can teach you to do the same—for a modest fee, of course. That kind of hucksterism is probably exactly why a guy like…

By Joanna Brooks

…de, we sounded a note of caution here at RD about the “dark side” of honor code enforcement. After all, the honor code had been created during the 1960s in an effort by ultra-conservative BYU President Ernest Wilkinson to root out liberals, and honor code enforcement (including anonymous referrals) had been used to bait and harrass feminist, liberal, and gay students, shut down campus free speech, and compromise the privacy of pastoral counseling…

By Kaya Oakes

…appointed new seminary staff from among the higher ups in the dioceses of San Francisco and San Jose, including Jesuit Fr. John Piderit as the seminary’s vice president for administration.

By Shalom Goldman

…ne for committing a misdemeanor. In order to get this proposal on the 2011 San Francisco city ballot, Schofield has to collect over seven thousand signatures—and thus far his campaign is not going very well. Quite to the contrary, the idea has caused a backlash, and not only in the American Jewish Community. The organized Jewish community in both California and throughout the U.S. rallied to condemn the proposed ban. Within a few days of Schofield…

“Muslim Gospel” Revealing the “Christian Truth” Excites the Da Vinci Code Set

By Annette Yoshiko Reed

…hers, for instance, speculate about its forgery by the Franciscan monk Fra Marino, who is credited, in a preface to the Spanish manuscript, with its discovery; the preface claims that this monk found the manuscript in the library of Pope Sixtus V (1521–1590) when the Pope was sleeping, and converted to Islam immediately after reading it; the possibility that Fra Marino had been a converso (i.e., a Jew forced to convert to Christianity) makes this…

By Joanna Brooks

…ry brings up longstanding questions about the impact of an enforced “Honor Code” on campus life. On the Mormon Matters podcast, Ashley Sanders, a former BYU student activist, recalled that BYU’s Honor Code took its current form as part of a quest during the 1960s by ultra-conservative BYU President Ernest Wilkinson to preserve the campus against liberalism. Wilkinson wanted to “make BYU a national resource for patriotic anti-communism” and to “roo…

Shocked by Aung San Suu Kyi’s Insensitivity to Ethnic Cleansing? Don’t Be.

By Michael Jerryson

…d the IDP camps as the modern equivalent of concentration camps. Yet, Aung San Suu Kyi expressed ignorance over why close to half of the one million Muslims in Myanmar fled across her country’s borders within a matter of weeks. While it might seem strange for a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate to turn a blind eye to religious and ethnic cleansing, it is not unique. In my forthcoming book If You Meet the Buddha on the Road: Buddhism, Politics, and Violen…
