By Daniel Schultz

…ous about what could be learned, and deeply indifferent to the potential misery sponsored by the author’s ideas. Tish Harrison Warren might be entirely right that the world would be a better place if churches returned to entirely in-person worship.

…, writing for US News and World Report, complains that “the secular crowd, New York sports writers included, have never forgiven” Tebow for his public Christianity and that Tebow is being “chased off the ﬁeld in a ﬂurry of social media cat calls while Collins… gets the call from the president.” This, Roff concludes, is evidence of a “double standard” under which “gays increasingly get cultural acceptance while conservatives and Christians are trea…

By Joseph Laycock

…y the Internet is abuzz with speculation about insidious forces lurking in New York. Law enforcement frequently assumes, unfairly, that whenever dead animal parts appear in unusual places that Santeria practitioners are to blame, but The Gothamist has done this theory one better by suggesting that the number “93”—which appears on a tag on the goat’s ear—is linked to Aleister Crowley’s philosophy of Thelema.

Then again, if Europe could leave historic animosities behind—and it did—Caldwell’s argument has little weight. Caldwell anxiously digs himself a deeper hole: He distinguishes Hispanic immigration to America from Muslim immigration to Europe, arg…

By Shalom Goldman

…roughout the world. But fans of Jerusalem, unlike fans of Paris, Cairo, or New York, are a bitterly divided groups of fans, with fiercely contending understandings of the city’s history and landscape. For Jerusalem, though “united” by Israeli government fiat after the 1967 War, remains a deeply divided city. Its Jewish and Arab citizens live in a very uneasy balance, one easily upset, as the political events of this year, and each of the forty-thr…
