By Peter Manseau

…year, when a report from Rome shined new light on Christianity’s most hotly-contested stretch of cloth. With the announced discovery of a document explaining the 150 years in which the Shroud disappears from the historical record, Vatican researchers attempted to provide a missing link that could bolster claims of authenticity. Inevitably, the light of this renewed interest shone just as brightly on longstanding doubts. “The Shroud is not Christ,…

RDBook: A City Too Busy To Hate

By Michael A. Elliott

…Maddox made his stand. The book is far more than a tourist manual. It is a compact and compelling demonstration of how the history of the struggle for freedom continues to permeate this urban landscape. I sat down to talk with Lefever and Page about their book and how their project led them to think about place. RD: This is a book about looking backward into the past, to a difficult moment in history. How well do you think the city of Atlanta does…

When Children’s Literature is Not Defined by “Innocence”

By Jodi Eichler-Levine

…will want her to read some of the books I’ve discussed, particularly All-of-a-Kind Family, The Keeping Quilt, A Wreath for Emmett Till, The People Could Fly, and everything that Maurice Sendak ever wrote or illustrated (though he hated being called an “illustrator”). A big misconception about putting together the terms “religion” and “children’s literature” is that those two ideas are joined only in institutionally-driven works like children’s bib…

By Maryam Jamshidi

…so often view history from the top down, many of these stories give an eye-opening, on-the-ground view on recent events in the Arab world. What are some of the biggest misconceptions about your topic? Quite a few people have written off the revolutions.

Beck, Native Americans, and the Book of Mormon

By Joanna Brooks

…t death of once-prominent Navajo Mormon George P. Lee, who had served as a high-ranking Church leader but was later excommunicated, reminds us. Ask a 21st-century Mormon what the foundational premise of the Book of Mormon is, and he or she will tell you that they believe the book is scripture because they read it and prayed about it and find reason for hope and deeper faith in its pages. As it is for most contemporary people of faith, personal spi…

Women’s Equality in the Church is No Longer Negotiable

By Mary E. Hunt

…men will not tolerate the kyriarchal structure of Catholicism any longer. Coming to a new understanding of women as full human beings is the sine qua non of church change. Moreover, the current pope’s recent reiteration of the virtues of gender complementarity showed that he is not tuned in to contemporary scholarship, both scientific and humanistic, on gender, its fluidity, and variety. No one can be certain how constructed our gender identities…

Does Donald Trump Have a Catholic Problem?

By Patricia Miller

…t Trump’s aids are going to be any help in wooing the Catholic vote. A five-year-old tweet surfaced last week from Trump’s campaign spokeswoman Katrina Pierson that demonstrates the campaign’s overall tone-deafness when it comes to Catholics: https://twitter.com/katrinapierson/status/148442868065894400 Of course, a strong Trump showing in the first two-thirds of the primary calendar would largely make the Catholic-leaning later states a moot point…

Studying Religion is Suddenly Popular

By Mark Hulsether

…cessively WASP-ish and monolithic student bodies (even compared to the none-too-impoverished environs of Macalester College and the University of California at Santa Barbara.) Intentionally or not, one effect is to underplay the importance of economic class as a focus of attention. Can the religious concerns of white working-class Christians (or for that matter the concerns of non-white immigrants, who are predominantly Christian) be valorized as…
