What’s Wrong with the Controversial Businessweek “Mormon Money” Cover?

By Joanna Brooks

…at Mormonism is just another form of prosperity gospel. The faith has a 170-year-long history of seeking economic self-sufficiency, motivated at first by Mormons’ desire for autonomy from a hostile mainstream and by necessity engendered by their western isolation. Today, that drive is motivated—as I’ve heard discussed among leading figures in Mormon Studies this week and as was hinted at in the Church’s own statement and a Deseret News editorial t…

“Who Is This God?”: The Controversial Sequel to the Jesus Seminar

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…the criticisms nor the responses were always irenic. (Those wanting a play-by-play will enjoy Walter Wink’s essay from the Bulletin for Biblical Research in which he likens the whole ordeal to a boxing match that, as of the 1997 publication date, was far from over.) The intervening years, though, have shown that the Jesus Seminar—and by extension the Westar Institute, its institutional home—were quite correct in wagering that nonacademics would b…

Cruz and the Evangelical Illusion

By Sarah Posner

…Cruz, to help secure endorsements from prominent figures. The tallying of high-profile evangelical endorsements results in the media reporting a “coalescing” of evangelical backing for Cruz and the impression of an inevitable consolidation of support from this crucial GOP bloc, a phenomenon most visible after Iowa activist Bob Vander Plaats endorsed Cruz last month. Still vital, but less important, is the sense among the rank and file that they’r…

Christian Nationalist Judge Strikes Down FDA-Approved Abortion Pill for Brazenly Ideological Reasons

By Andrew L. Seidel

…early abortions in 2000, after fully—and carefully—vetting it over four-and-a-half years (more than triple the time such approvals typically take). On Friday, in a federal court in Texas, a Christian nationalist judge overruled that longstanding decision in what can only be described as a lawless and nakedly partisan decision. This isn’t his first such decision this year. The opinion mentions conspiracy theories, and eugenics slander, and says thi…

Evangelicals ‘Crossing the Tiber’ to Catholicism

By Jonathan D. Fitzgerald

…s and congregants of our non-denominational, charismatic church-that-met-in-a-warehouse, often did. Despite my firsthand experience with the Church, between the legend of my parents’ conversion (anything that happens in a child’s life before he is born is the stuff of legends) and the portrait of the Catholic Church as an oppressive institution that took all the fun out of being “saved,” I understood Catholicism as a religion that a person leaves…

“Paleo” is More Than a Fad Diet: Boyd Eaton’s Plan to Return to Eden

By Michael Schulson

…ion is to reject certain elements of the diet, or to limit it to an elite, high-consuming sliver of the global population. Or, you could cut the world’s population by a factor of 70. That’s Eaton’s preferred solution: gradual population reduction, through a lowered birthrate, until we arrive at a global population of 100 million, and return to a world where it’s possible to live out what he calls “true Paleo.” Such a world wouldn’t just be better…

Why Won’t the President Say “Islamic Terrorists?”

By Paula Cooey

…c versions of white supremacy often couched in Christian terms from the not-so-distant past. By refusing to call it “Islamic terrorism,” he refuses to dignify the polemic of his opponents. We should make every effort to support him on this one. With coolheaded dispassion (or with good humor) we need simply to respond every day, once a day, as publicly as possible, that Donald Trump, like the rest of his compatriots on the extreme right, is a blovi…

Mitt Romney, the Public Face of Mormonism, Reckons with His Alienation From a Radicalized GOP and His Role in Enabling it

By Benjamin E. Park

…end, Romney’s team felt the meeting, which dragged on with substantial back-and-forth, went as well as could be expected. They felt that the two sides had found at least some common ground. But Romney felt bewildered by the zealous ideologues. And when evangelicals failed to support him in his 2008 campaign, his skepticism proved valid. The previously unreported meeting is just one of many fascinating anecdotes in McKay Coppins’s new biography, Ro…

The Mistaken Assumption Behind Employers’ “Right” to Not Cover Contraception

By Mary Barker

…sing the church part of our First Amendment to infuse their mosque in that community, and the people in the community do not like it; they disagree with it.” Stewart responded by helpfully replacing Cain’s pronouns with the proper ones. “You think our First Amendment protects us against their mosque, when in reality, the First Amendment protects their mosque from us.” A similar pronoun confusion now dogs the debate over employers’ First Amendment…

American Brokenness: A Lament

By Daniel Schultz

…compassion; to recognize the real pain and discomfort of others; and to welcome them with open arms into the shared project of finding freedom, justice, and power together. That, as I always say, does not mean surrendering core principles or compromising them away. The truth, after all, is the truth. But I would love to see a sign at the next health care town hall meeting declaring WE SHARE YOUR PAIN AND WE NEED YOUR HELP. I would love to see Barn…
