Russell Moore Claims There’s a Crisis in Evangelical America — But White Evangelicalism is Exactly Where it Wants to Be

By John Stoehr

…ader public doesn’t know is that the “Sermon on the Mount” does not play a central role in the evangelical Protestant community. What it doesn’t know is that the “Sermon on the Mount” is itself subversive to evangelical Protestants, in that it subverts their understanding of a world divided between the saved and the damned. They believe that God’s love is exclusive to those who are already on the inside of the evangelical community. It’s unconditi…

In the Story of the New Testament We Are the Romans—No Matter Who Wins the Election

By Stephen Hinerman

…e statues were less about honoring the Civil War dead than they were about promoting 20th century white supremacy). In some ways, it’s not all that different from the ideas that sold people on the first Crusade back in the 11th century. And it’s not all that different from the story we tell ourselves today, every time we enter another country for their “own good.” Sure, we went into Iraq on the basis of false information about WMDs. But in the rhe…

The Enigmatic Role of Anti-Semitism in the Russia-Ukraine Conflict

By Katherine Kelaidis

…n’s propaganda machine, and appeals to anti-semitic sentiments have been a central theme in the kultur politik advanced by both Russia and the Russian Orthodox Church in the Putin era. For example, whatever sympathy Russia does get from the West relies in no small part on shared anti-semitism and a perception that Russia (and frequently Russian Orthodoxy) are essentially anti-Jewish. This strategy has been on full display with respect to Ukraine….

No More Pencils, No More Books: The Ultimate Goal of All Those Anti-Education Bills That Nobody’s Talking About

By Andrew L. Seidel

…gan, partially funded by Betsy Devos’s fortune. Betsy Devos and her family promoted vouchers and school choice “to help advance God’s Kingdom,” as she told “The Gathering,” the annual meeting of the country’s richest Christians. But also because, “The church—which ought to be in our view far more central to the life of the community—has been displaced by the public school as the center for activity.” It’s not enough that Americans have a right to…

Tribal Trouble: The Changing Nature of American Jews’ Relationship to Israel and the Question of Jewish Unity

By Shaul Magid

…for American Jewish attitudes toward Israel. Before that, Israel was not a central part of American Jewish identity except for those committed Zionists. While today, for supporters of AIPAC on the right and some Jewish supporters of BDS on the left, Israel is a central tenet of their identity, it is a more complicated story given the last almost half century of Jewish life in America. Correction: In an earlier version of this article, an important…

A New Mormon Religion Has Taken QAnon Conspiracies and Canonized Them as Doctrine

By Cristina Rosetti

…ircles, beginning with the Church’s endorsement of “globalist agendas” and promotion of the “secret combinations” that control the Covid-19 narrative. Under an image of Russell M. Nelson, the group wrote: “Our research demonstrates that this tyrant is using a false pandemic to force the world to accept a vaccination. This ‘cure’ will make most people who receive it susceptible to a ‘wild virus.’ This may surface later on, after most of the entire…

Rick Santorum Breezes Past the Genocidal Foundation of White Christian Nationalism

By Sophie Bjork-James

…Truth Project tells us to focus on Christ, through Columbus. Conversion is central, colonization and suffering not even worth a mention. The cruelty of Santorum’s words reflects this much broader belief in white Christian nationalism. Celebrating the United States as a divine project requires framing this history of racial inequality, and the genocidal campaigns against First Nations people that went into forging the U.S. nation, as an unfortunate…

Derek Chauvin’s Defense, in Keeping with a Long Racist Tradition, Seeks to Criminalize George Floyd

By Alex Zamalin

…he trial of J.W. Milam and Roy Bryant, who had lynched a fourteen-year-old African-American boy, Emmett Till, that he had made “ugly remarks,” to her. The jury took 67 minutes to find the two men innocent. Don’t believe your eyes; accept the racist myth of Black incivility. This is, at least implicitly, what Derek Chauvin’s defense attorney is trying to tell the jury. And what this time-honored strategy illustrates is that depictions of Black unru…

How the Anti-Abortion Movement Gave us Donald Trump — and Why It Could Bring Worse

By Jonathan Dudley

…y criticize their community’s support for Trump, they must make clear that central assumptions of the pro-life movement are wrong. They must either reject the position that abortion is equivalent to killing children or reject the position that supporting anti-abortion candidates can end or significantly reduce abortion. It may not be intuitive but the first option is easier than it seems. Evangelicals simply need to remember their own history. Whe…

Can White Jews Still Be White if They’re Reviled By White Supremacists?

By SJ Crasnow

…rs”) would be given rights primarily appear to have engaged with religious freedom. Though some have described white Jews as “becoming white” in the mid-20th century, evidence of the colonial-era focus on Jews as a religious (rather than racial) “Other” and the chasm between their lives and those of Native Americans and enslaved Africans demonstrates the longevity of whiteness among white Jews in the U.S. As Hasia Diner writes in The Jews of the U…
