LDS Church Asserts Trademark of “Mormon”

By Holly Welker

…he fact that the company is using a picture of the Salt Lake temple on its website. But faithful Latter-day Saints are encouraged to use the temple as an image of aspiration. They’re told to display it in their homes, and many, many Mormons have an image of the temple carved on their tombstones. Will the church try to put a stop to that practice, by going after either the engravers or the families of the individuals who want that image on their gr…

Women, Religion, and Film: Higher Ground Raises the Stakes

By Sarah Sentilles

…he questions her faith—questions the institutional church as she knows it, questions God, questions belief, questions patriarchy, questions the life in which she finds herself. The film ends with a reminder about the unpronounceable, unspeakable name of G-d, and it is the screenwriter’s subtle choice to let the status of Corinne’s faith remain a mystery—to let God remain a mystery—that empowers the film as a feminist testament to the costs of sexi…

The Mystic in the Rye: JD Salinger’s Religious Fiction

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…ost memorable characters. They are all teachers, parents, players, children-at-heart. Most of those characters come from the storied Glass family, the surprising brood produced by an old vaudeville family from Manhattan’s Upper East Side (the East 70s, to be exact… the museum district). Bessie (née Gallagher, though this family, if ever there were one, was a matriarchy) and Les Glass were both performers, but they landed their greatest role and ex…

The Next Islamists: The Wide Green Smudge That’s Changing Our World

By Haroon Moghul

…y disparaged. But too little analysis goes beyond this framework, to the on-the-ground happenings within the Muslim world—with the welcome exception of Vali Nasr’s brilliant Forces of Fortune: The Rise of the Muslim Middle Class and What It Will Mean For Our World (Free Press, 2009) and Ben Simpfendorfer’s intriguing The New Silk Road: How a Rising Arab World is Turning Away from the West and Rediscovering China (Palgrave-Macmillan, 2009). The Wid…

How the Study of Evangelicalism Has Blinded Us to the Problems in Evangelical Culture

By Christopher D. Cantwell

…rt I of Evangelicals evoke this authorized evangelical historiography. The book opens, for example, with Marsden’s 1984 portrayal of evangelicalism as a kind of “denomination in the sense of a name by which a religious group is denominated,” and includes the first seventeen pages of Bebbington’s famed Evangelicalism in Modern Britain, wherein he laid out his four-part description of evangelicals noted above. This view became the field’s prevailing…

The Democratic Party is Not a Religion

By Gary Laderman

…ensibilities circulating in Democratic circles seem to be broader and more open-ended than those chiseled in stone in Republicanity around family, flag, and God the Father. The moral language in Democratic rhetoric is anchored in rights, human and individual; questions around justice for those without power or money; and how government can be a positive asset in American society (I anticipate getting slammed on this one). Yet by the very fact that…

Science of Little Help with Personhood Issues

By Paul Wallace

…nse that our lives are somehow important. But the triumph of science is so complete that we feel we must appeal to it in order to be taken seriously. It happens all the time: Sam Harris looks to science to provide us with a serious moral system. Presidential hopefuls look to “the science of intelligent design” (a.k.a. Creationism 2.0) to draw votes. Personhood USA quotes a scientist who says personhood “is no longer a matter of taste or opinion… i…

The Question is: What Kind of Football Does God Fancy?

By Jeffrey Scholes

…Frenches out there to vociferously reject that, thus creating another back-in-forth in the media. But if we resist the urge to untangle God from the performative quality of verbal sparring between professional athletes, we may find something about the mentality of one-upsmanship in sports and something that is theologically interesting. Perhaps even more interesting than @NFLJesus who has, to date, nearly twenty thousand followers. The game that…

Americans Must Stop Thinking of the United States Supreme Court as a Court of Law

By Andrew L. Seidel

…. When their rights were the only rights that mattered. As I explain in my new book, American Crusade: How the Supreme Court is Weaponizing Religious Freedom: “These justices’ overriding principle won’t be reality or the law or the Constitution or the three lines or even any of the legal tests unnamed in this book, but simply this: Christians win.” Specifically, conservative white Christian men win. There’s data to back this up. Plenty. But it’s a…

Speaker Mike Johnson to Allow Privately Run National Prayer Breakfast into the Heart of the Capitol

By Jonathan Larsen

…to it as a precedent and they try to do more.” Referring to the 1950s anti-communist wave of religious incursions into government institutions and traditions, Huffman said, “I see this in the full context of ‘In God We Trust’ on our currency, and adding ‘under God’ to the pledge.” Huffman also tied the new breakfast location to local efforts to enshrine the Ten Commandments in public spaces around the country. “They’re on this relentless mission…
