There is No Religious Freedom: A Lesson from a ‘Pastafarian’ Stunt

By Austin Dacey

…atirical religion: a plastic IKEA colander. The story was fed into the news-of-the-weird cycle and churned out faster than noodles from a pasta roller. The aim of Nico Alm’s impish stunt, as he explained on his blog at its outset, was not to win legal privileges for the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, but rather to challenge the religious exemption to the regulations barring head coverings from official ID photographs. Alm expected his req…

The Year in Religion: A Ray of Hope Amid the Usual Fecklessness

By Peter Laarman

…ination” of a Western Christianity shaped and dominated by the godless will-to-power of white men. For those now awakening from their slumber, whether as a consequence of this new scholarship or the fearless truthtelling of the Movement for Black Lives, there can be no turning back from the element of danger. As you awaken you will necessarily become an enemy of the white supremacist state. You will also become the enemy of complacency and apostas…

Suicide Bombers and the Prozac God: A Review of Dying for Heaven

By Bruce B. Lawrence

…ammad do not laugh much (p. 328), Glucklich resorts to Franz Rosenthal’s 53-year-old monograph for evidence of humor as abundant in Islamic culture. Even were one to grant that the invocation of the hyper-scholarly Rosenthal in the same breath with the resolutely polemical Spencer is a wash for Glucklich, as he ventures to make generalizations far outside his field of expertise or competence, one would still have to cope with the following pronoun…

Money, Technology, and the Silence of Churches: A Conversation with Susan Thistlethwaite

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ant to get people to vote against him rather than for Romney. I think “Etch-a-Sketch” is close to describing Romney, but I think he’s more a Rorschach Test. The right sees in him what they want to see—he is very much an object of their desire. And he must be the whitest guy on the planet, he and his family all wearing Izod shirts. They are very much a throwback to a romanticized past of strong rich dad, stay-at-home mom and a whole bunch of kids—a…

“As Orthodox As They Come”: A Backstage Conversation With Rob Bell

By Andrew Aghapour and Michael Schulson

…ell stayed in motion. He developed a stylized image of a progressive, hip, open-minded Christianity. He preached social justice and pluralism, encouraged doubt, and supported gay marriage. Bell had already lost much of his evangelical base by 2011, when he published Love Wins, an argument against the existence of Hell. Cast out of the evangelical mainstream, Bell traded the pulpit for the stage. He went on a Love Wins book tour, made the cover of…

By Elizabeth Shakman Hurd

…ch project, and then offer a brief introduction to the argument of my forthcoming book. Over the past several years I have co-organized the Politics of Religious Freedom project, a collaborative research effort funded by the Luce Foundation to study the discourses of religious freedom in South Asia, North Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and the United States. These efforts are now bearing fruit, and in 2015 our project team will publish a volume,…

Oh My God(dess)! Feminist Spirituality in the Third Wave

By Mandy Van Deven

…er than Women’s Studies. Did you intend for the book to focus primarily on newly-developed Western forms of Goddess spirituality, witchcraft, and paganism? Actually I did not intend this. It is simply how it turned out based on the response to my call for papers. In hindsight, though, I think it makes sense. The term ‘feminist spirituality’ does, for some, mean ‘alternatives’ to mainstream religion. Thus people working on third wave feminism withi…

For International Human Rights Day, a Snapshot of LGBT Rights from the Vatican to Cape Town

By Peter Montgomery

…ting to fast-growing HIV epidemic The Philippines “is facing one of the fastest-growing epidemics” of HIV in Asia, reports Human Rights Watch, which published an in-depth report calling for the government to alter its approach to the epidemic: The country’s growing HIV epidemic has been fueled by a legal and policy environment hostile to evidence-based policies and interventions proven to help prevent HIV transmission. Such restrictions are found…

The Bible as Security Blanket, Blindfold, or Weapon

By Amy Benson Brown

…ean the slow dissolution of the very boundaries of self in the lovers’ back-and-forth play, like a roe upon the hills. And, for the love of God, Ostriker asks us to take seriously the implications opened by the layering of meaning within this interlude of sensuality. The female speaker of the Song lets us know from the start, with the slide of pronouns referring to her lover, that we need to think on several levels. “Let him kiss me with the kisse…

The Queen is Coming: Preparing for Ramadan

By Amina Wadud

…to simply make this regular record. If there were conflicts of interest vis-à-vis gender justice, I could express them fully here at the keyboard but NOT as a human shield. Just this once, I could observe them as they occur and not feel the pressure to conform them—at least not in the face and not immediately. I would evoke the memory of the wisdom thus spoke: the pen is mightier than the sword! I endeavor to keep pace for approximately one hundre…
