Tim LaHaye’s World: We’re Living In It

By Jason C. Bivins

…d Tim LaHaye has died. The extraordinarily influential evangelical remains best known for his co-authorship of the Left Behind novels, ubiquitous between the Clinton and Bush administrations. But LaHaye not only lived through several different Americas in his 90 years, he helped shape our present moment. On the face of it, this seems an obvious, water-is-wet-ish thing to say about a public figure. But LaHaye did more than simply contribute to publ…

In the Dark Night of Disaster

By Anthony B. Pinn

…er, the proper question is how can I act in such a way as to represent the best of my convictions (whether framed as the consequences of religion or whether more secular in origin)? Our theologizing Hurricane Ike and other disasters, again, is an understandable impulse, but it does not help folks rebuild and revive their lives. Ethics, on the other hand, can point us in the correct direction by providing strategies for activity on the ground, ways…

Why We Should Teach Theology in the Public University

By Jonathan Sheehan

…rms of one faith. Happily public universities are already well-equipped to deal with competing and plural norms. We do it all the time, in fact, especially in the humanities and social sciences. We teach particular topics (say, Aristotelian ethics or Woolfian aesthetics or Rawlsian political theory), not in order to produce a modern Aristotle or a new To the Lighthouse, or a new Justice as Fairness. Rather, we teach them in order to jump-start dis…

Romney Prepping for Evangelical Dance

By Sarah Posner

…ns in his home state of Ohio). A move to the center would “kill him,” said Deal Hudson of Catholic Advocate, who thinks that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops is too liberal. All this talk is reminiscent of 2008, when dissatisfied conservatives were looking for ways to make John McCain more palatable. The base was thrilled — no, electrified — when McCain picked Sarah Palin as his running mate, and Romney will be pressured to pick someone sim…

The Burning Houses of Worship We Missed

By Gordon Haber

…rld-historical buildings, and, although the former turned out to be no big deal, I for one feel a twinge of concern whenever anything happens in Jerusalem. Notre Dame will take years and millions of euros to rebuild. The American church fires are just one more infuriating symptom of a nation turning against its own citizens, though it is encouraging that, in the wake of Notre Dame, donations to the Louisiana churches have begun to surge. I wouldn’…

Neil Gorsuch Shows How Donald Trump Loses (Some) White Evangelical Christians

By John Stoehr

…tian leaders like Ralph Reed searching for areas of gray. This isn’t a big deal, Reed told the Post. What matters most is religious freedom and abortion. “They rise far higher in the hierarchy of concerns of faith-based voters. Ultimately seeing a reckoning on Roe vs. Wade looms so much larger in the psyche of the right that I don’t know that this is a de-motivator.” Projection is the coin of the white evangelical realm, so it’s safe to say that R…

Where Did White Evangelicalism’s Hatred of Critical Race Theory Really Begin?

By Andre E. Johnson

…rrectness” and that “race must be an issue in practically every subject we deal with.” In contrast, he continues, “diversity, tolerance, inclusivity, and a host of other postmodern “virtues” have begun to edge out the actual fruit of the Spirit in the language and conversation of some of our wokest brethren.” But it was John MacArthur’s repudiation of social justice in the infamous Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel (Dallas Statement) open…

Devil’s Bookmark: How Not to Defend God

By Bernard Schweizer

…e back.” “God’s jealousy isn’t capricious or petty. God is jealous for our best interests.” And so on and so forth. Copan knows every facet of God’s intentions, feelings, characteristics, and wants. In a way, he smothers God with his own all-knowingness. As a result, God becomes small, knowable, reduced, common. There’s none of the mystery associated with an awesome God who is not directly accessible to human intellection. A far humbler stance tha…

Pop-Eye: Meat The Wrestler

By S. Brent Rodriguez Plate

…emical imbalances in the mind (i.e., migraines). Aronofsky is too smart to deal in binaries, and so even back then he was already dissecting this material-spiritual difference with that of artificial intelligence (i.e., computers gaining self-awareness), chaos theory applied to the stock market, and the simple search for love and connection in the world. In the end, Pi’s protagonist Maximillian Cohen (Sean Gullette) drills into the core of it all…
