Everything Was Better When We Had God In Our Schools

By Hollis Phelps

…63) knocked prayer and state-sponsored religious activities such as Bible readings out of our public schools for good, our schools must have been idyllic places, largely free from the type and extent of violence we see today. Sure, there were the occasional schoolyard fights, but those are a far cry from the premeditated, high-fatality attacks that are seemingly becoming all too common these days. God was allowed in our schools, and the safety of…

Roe & “Safe States”

By Tom Davis

…havior that was legal in one state being blocked by laws from states that had made the behavior illegal. This is a scenario that may happen if Roe is overturned. In such a situation at least nine states will retain legal abortion, but the states that criminalize abortion may also seek to pass laws to punish women who go out of state for a legal procedure. They may also want legislation that will punish those who help the woman with her plans. Ther…

The Best Books Media of 2008

By Jeff Sharlet

…such lists aren’t so much a reflection of the best as of what the editors read and cared about that year. That can lead to a certain amount of cronyism—books by Times contributors are especially well represented on the Times’ list—which is a problem when readers take listmakers too seriously. But cronyism can also reflect schools of thought. Looked at for what it is, the web of connections that underlie a “best of” list reveals a portrait of a cer…

McCarthy, Born Again and Retooled for Our Time

By Sarah Posner

…e’s and Whole Foods attended a brown bag lunch whose speaker revived the dread of the Cold War, ominously asserting that communism continues to threaten America. It could have been ripped from the headlines of the sensationalistic conservative site World Net Daily, but the setting was far more staid. The speaker, David Noebel, part of The King’s College Distinguished Visitors series, was introduced by outgoing King’s Provost and World magazine edi…

Jay Bakker on LGBT Justice and the Demands of Grace

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ed grace to be “a cop-out… an excuse to sin.” But once he began studying, reading Paul in particular, Bakker got hooked on grace; became “a grace fiend, even.” Now, he finds himself advocating for the demanding work of grace—to extend grace to outcasts like LGBT people, but also to his critics. I had a chance to talk with Bakker about his new book, about his life story, and his hopes for the future of the evangelical church. You say you experience…

We Shall Not Stop at Evangelism: Remembering Evangelical John R. W. Stott

By Randall Balmer

…s a priest in the Church of England, he chose to remain there rather than head off in a separate direction in search of some chimera of evangelical purity. In many ways, the defining moment of his career came back in 1966 when Stott was chairing the National Assembly of Evangelicals. In the course of the proceedings, Martyn Lloyd-Jones, another prominent evangelical, made the case that evangelicals within the Church of England should defect and st…

Religious Liberty…For Bishops

By Tom Davis

…ressingly ignored. It’s almost always presented as a conflict between the leaders of a church vs. a secular government agency. All the representatives of the sacred seem to be on one side. But the struggle to bring birth control into the hands of American women has always been a struggle between differing religious views, not between religious and secular ones. When I was a seminary student in New York City in 1958, the public hospitals of the cit…

Church’s Lawyers Have SNAP in Their Sights

By Kathryn Joyce

…ey want all emails and records we have that mention every case, living or dead, accused or not, religious order or diocesan, in either of these dioceses, whether the communications are to and from victims, witnesses, whistleblowers, police, prosecutors, or journalists. And everything on repressed memory. To show you how wide-ranging this is, we could have a letter in our files from 1990 from a woman in Miami who was molested in Arkansas by a pries…

Mitt, Moochers, and Mormonism’s “Other” Legacy

By Mary Barker

…it on time. The rebellious Sixties just confirmed what the Cold War had already shown us—that we were in a final showdown with evil that would only get worse until the second coming of Jesus which is now. Mormons have a smidgen of the survivalist in them. They expect total political and economic collapse, and are instructed to store what has come to be known as the “two-year supply”—a stock of water and imperishable food items to sustain them in t…

Francis the Jesuit: a Philosopher-Pope?

By J. Michelle Molina

…” Each phrase—who, where, what, and what now?—demands a serious response, leading to a highly focused narrative account of one’s life. This storytelling is what one critic has termed an advanced literary exercise, a “re-editing” of the self in which one narrative, a life to come, was traced over another, a life already lived. Yes, this is literary drama. Yet what we have in the Spiritual Exercises is a textual practice minus the page: it is the…
