Political Hinduism: India’s Disenchanted Religion

By Jyotirmaya Sharma

…here you wish you had written? There are so many books that are a huge source of inspiration. But I don’t think there is any one single book I wish I had written. I’d rather quietly keep working and do better each time I write my own books. What’s your next book? The next book is about the sources of violence and its representation within Indian traditions. The book is refracted through a critical analysis of the Gandhian idea of non-violence; it…

By Jonathan D. Fitzgerald

…ontroversy, observed that “the response from the Christian Post was so over-the-top defensive of David Jang, and so massively pejorative toward anyone who questioned him, that the Christian Post (at least in that instance) essentially abandoned the pretense of journalism and became Jang’s defense attorney.” Ted Olsen told me, “I was aware of almost everything in the [Post] article…There wasn’t anything that, even if it was true—which I have questi…

All Your Dead Mormons Are Belong To Us

By Jay Michaelson

…osexuality is a choice, and, of course, the church has bankrolled anti-same-sex-marriage campaigns in California and other states. Most analysts agree that without the infusion of Mormon cash, Prop 8 wouldn’t have passed. So, as a queer Jew, alldeadmormonsarenowgay.com brings together many of my interests.
