No More Condescension: What We Can Do Now

By Peter Laarman

…y man who strongly supports the multicultural agenda. But I also worked professionally for many years in the labor movement (e.g., I was communications director for the United Auto Workers during the early intra-party skirmishing over “free” trade). I have always feared how the accelerating Democratic abandonment of the white working class would end. It turns out that 1980’s “Reagan Democrat” phenomenon in places like Macomb County was just the fi…

When God and Gender Mix: New Book Examines the Southern Holiness Movement

By Colin Chapell

…l Holiness Theology and Gender in the South Colin B. Chapell University of Alabama Press September 2016 What’s the most important take-home message for readers? Theology and belief matter to how people view not only the world around them, but how adherents view their own identity. I know that this may sound simple, but we so often forget this. Indeed, I would enlarge that statement to say that the values people hold dearest change how they underst…

Lindsey Graham’s Lying “Eye-ranians”

By Haroon Moghul

…ho make me think Steven Strauss is on to something with his eight shocking parallels between the United States and Rome, except that he stopped too soon. (#IX: New York City subway stations are early Roman urinariums; #X: Edward Gibbon prophesied the Christian Right would be the straw poll that broke the empire’s back. Etc.) Beinart, a contributing editor for The Atlantic, has given considered attention (must-read) to a trend many Muslims have exp…

What Robot Theology Can Tell Us About Ourselves

By Michael Schulson

…be goofy, but the intentions of SES and Dr. Kevin Staley, an associate professor of theology and the robot’s handler, could not be more serious. Through those 23 inches of silicon and plastic, they hope to tackle questions about what it means to be human; about how we should interact with the non-human entities in our lives; and about what a uniquely Christian response might be to a world in which humans start to seem more like computers, and com…

Christian Nationalists and the Holy Gun Crusade

By Thomas Lecaque

…y what they’re selling. As their website says: Spike’s Tactical created a balanced reliable rifle that would bring an excellent fighting rifle to people of all abilities and resources. The every man fighting rifle. We named it Crusader and engraved Psalm 144:1 on the lower receiver to hoist the flag of our faith and to make a statement, reminding our customers that we are with you. The war is here. We have a duty to defend our homeland and our way…

Harold Camping, Prophet of Apocalypse, Dies at 92

By Daniel Silliman

…s as a Bible teacher. He taught the Bible at his Dutch Calvinist church in Alameda, California, the Christian Reformed Church—starting in the 1940s while he was still a university student. He started Family Radio in 1958 to reach a wider audience with his teaching—a deep conviction that nothing was accidental or coincidental in the Bible and that it was a unified, logical whole. Camping was committed to the conservative Christian doctrine of Bibli…

To Be Atheist, Feminist, and Black

By Sikivu Hutchinson

…rches in urban communities of color. Storefront churches crop up with such alarming frequency because there is not enough commercial/retail enterprise in urban communities of color. This is due to the absence of sustained support for minority-owned businesses in both the government and in the financial lending industry. African American businesses constitute a mere 2% of all small-owned businesses with paid employees in the U.S. Because churches a…

UPDATE: Religion’s Role in the Boston Bombings

By The Editors

…quently just as quick to blame religion should the perp name-drop Jesus or Allah. Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller, and the rest of the Blame-Islam-First crowd are eager to, well, blame Islam first—though they’re more restrained when it comes Christians or Jews. And here, between the Crusades and the odd psychopath, between religion haters, apologists, and Islamophobes, stand the rest of us struggling to make sense of each tragic event. In RD this we…

Grace Under Pressure: Reclaiming Hope for Progressive Religion

By Daniel Schultz

…n nothing but hope and virtue could survive…that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet [it].” America, in the face of our common dangers, in this winter of our hardship, let us remember these timeless words. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come. Let it be said by our children’s children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we…

Shucking Off The ’50s. And the ’40s. And the…

By Daniel Schultz

…his complex and that special interest misses the point. One of the major theses of my book Changing the Script is that we are stuck because there is a distinct lack of imagination on the part of our political leaders. They are unable or unwilling to question the basic premises that exert such control in our lives—consumerism, militarism, and so on—and so we see no meaningful change. That might be the result of being captive to special interests, a…
