Before We Scold DeSean Jackson and Others For Anti-Semitism We Need To Talk About ‘Chosenness’

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…ather than ignoring or evading anti-Semitism I propose we take a more critical approach to these public statements which explores their origins and the actual meanings being communicated rather than offering preconditioned responses. ‘Will the ‘real’ children of Israel please stand up’ If we strip both the quote DeSean Jackson shared and Nick Cannon’s podcast comments down to their essential points they reveal the same contentious nature of religi…

What’s Behind the “Common Sense” Rhetoric of Bathroom Bill?

By Stephanie Russell-Kraft

…l”) may not explicitly be about religious freedom, but nearly all of its vocal supporters are conservative Christians who seem to have a hard time deciding whether the legislation protects “common sense” or their particular religious views. Much like certain conceptions of natural law, this type of “common sense” is asserted as simultaneously deriving from and separate from a divine creator. This slippery logic makes it particularly pernicious. It…

Will This Relic Change Our Whole View of Early American History?

By Ed Simon

…is a central feature in most conceptions of America. The recent archeological discovery at Jamestown Virginia would seem to complicate that popular view. Archer, along with several others whose bodies were recently recovered, were among the first English settlers who came to America during an era the poet John Donne described in a sermon to the Virginia Company in London as marked by “a flood, a flood of blood.” Indeed, accounts such as John Smit…

Israel Will be a 2016 Evangelical Litmus Test

By Sarah Posner

…io published a piece in the Christian Post, arguing that the 2016 “evangelical primary” is already underway, and that “no one seeking the GOP nomination in 2016 can afford to ignore this vital and dynamic constituency. There is simply no viable road to the presidency for a Republican candidate who fails to win strong support from voters of faith.” This argument is, of course, so familiar that it could have been written in 2000, or 1992, or 1988. I…

As Gaza Burns, Jews Disagree, Protest & Pray

By Sam Kestenbaum

…ing; fans whir and one woman waves a prayer book back and forth to cool herself. The crowd of about 300 sings a niggun, a wordless melody, accompanied by a djembe and a guitar. As the tempo increases, congregants clap their hands and sway from side to side. Some close their eyes. A barefoot child dances on the carpeted floor. At an Orthodox temple in midtown, Rabbi Arthur Schneier, a Holocaust survivor, lights candles in remembrance of the three t…

Catholic Nuns Show Bishops How it’s Done on ObamaCare

By Patricia Miller

…fatal, attack from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops for what it falsely implied would be taxpayer funding of elective abortions. Now, NETWORK is hoping to harness some of its moral authority to halt what it called in a letter signed by more than 7,000 nuns “the most harmful legislation for American families in our lifetimes.” They also noted pointedly that the most recent legislation passed by the Senate and other efforts to “reform” the A…

First Behind the Scenes Clip from NOAH…

By Brook Wilensky-Lanford

…, and pressure from the National Religious Broadcasters group. Then came the $26.5 million opening weekend of the Jesus movie Son of God, an adaptation of the History Channel series that the “Open Letter” praises. Now, Paramount seems ready to try again. Grace Hill Media is back on the case, releasing a series of behind-the-scenes featurettes on the movie, including, later in the month, an interview with Aronofsky, who has stated that NOAH should…

Did Mark Driscoll Plagiarize the Wrong Person?

By Rob Shryock

…k Driscoll was accused of having plagiarized passages of his recent book A Call to Resurgence during an interview with Christian Radio Host Janet Mefferd. According to a plagiarism expert, some of the passages in question were “copied almost verbatim,” and it was “exceptionally unlikely” that this was a coincidence. Perhaps the most egregious similarity was between a book called the New Bible Commentary and Driscoll’s “study guide” Trial: 8 Witne…

Nuns on the Bus: 2700 Miles, Nine States, and a Rock Star DC Welcome

By Mary E. Hunt

…social teaching justified his approach to push poor people to fend for themselves. The NETWORK people simply did not see it that way, nor did a sizable group of Georgetown University faculty who called Ryan on the carpet. Even the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, in a tepid letter from their president, Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan from New York, indicated some displeasure. (Mr. Ryan’s theological advisor is probably out of a job by now…

“Gotcha” Video & Pro-Life Bill Released Together

By Andy Kopsa

…his from my reporting for RD earlier this month: Recently, one group has escalated these hoax visits in many states, apparently using secret recorders while inquiring about sex-selection abortions. We anticipate that this group, likely in coordination with a broad range of anti-choice leaders, will soon launch a propaganda campaign with the goal of discrediting Planned Parenthood, and, ultimately, furthering legislation that blocks access to basic…
