Feeding on the Faithful: How Supernatural Thinking Empowered the Third Reich

By Eric Kurlander

…d colleague Corinna Treitel’s A Science for the Soul is an exceedingly well-researched and elegantly written account of German occultism from the 1870s through the 1940s. More generally, another recent book that impressed me in terms of ambition and argument was Kris Manjapra’s The Age of Entanglement: German and Indian Intellectuals Across Empire. It’s a model of transnational scholarship, but also makes a number of fascinating claims regarding t…

Is Army’s New “Humanist” Designation Just Semantic Hooey?

By Elizabeth Drescher

…e newly created world. So, too, the renaming of Abram as Abraham (Gen. 17:1-14) expresses his new, covenantal relationship to God and marks the future trajectory of his lineage. Indeed, in many religions, choosing a name that expresses a close coherence between self-identity and religious identity and affiliation (or having one conferred) is a defining ritual feature, as in the Sikh Nam Karam ceremony for naming a child according to the first let…

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ugliness of homosexuality. Besides the offensiveness of comparing loving, committed same-sex relationships to a “grotesque” Frankenstein monster, the unit also cites data (as blogger Alvin McEwen has pointed out) from a study of a tiny group of white gay men—from 1978: Statistics tell us that on average 43 percent of homosexuals have more than 500 sexual partners in their lifetime, and only one percent of homosexuals have had four or less sexual…

Orthodox Church’s Authoritarian Anti-LGBTQ Statement Poses Serious Threat to Academic Freedom

By Sarah Riccardi-Swartz

…rthodoxy. If no distinction is made, then Orthodox academics have come face-to-face with a type of religious authoritarianism born out of the fear of inquiry and critique. Authoritarianism, in any form, always seeks to silence marginalized voices and to take away academic freedom. Examples of suppression pepper our history books, but we don’t have to look much further than Putin’s current regime of terror to see it occurring in real time; notably,…

LGBT “Welcome” Ad Rejected by Sojourners, Nation’s Premier Progressive Christian Org.

By Rev. Robert Chase

…n believers to “sign up” for full LGBT equality in our churches and society-at-large. A centerpiece of this effort is a new video with particular relevance to Mother’s Day. The video features that fateful, frightful walk down the church’s center aisle by a visiting family. How many of us can remember such a walk? This family unit, however, happens to include a young boy with two moms. After inhospitable stares and gestures from pew-sitters, the fa…

Jews and Muslims Join Forces for Academic Freedom

By Rebecca Alpert

…m Center. The site is still in operation today. This experience was my wake-up call that right-wing Jewish organizations are using our campuses to promote a specific political narrative about Israel and Palestine, using threats, intimidation and donor monies to further their goals. At the beginning of this academic year I saw this network in action again on my campus. At “Templefest,” (the yearly event that introduces the incoming class to various…

American Family Association Targets Radio Hosts Over Association With Critic

By Warren Throckmorton

…“a headache.” Wildmon also pointed to an article on the Worldview Weekend website titled, “Pro-Family and Christian Leaders Unite with ‘Prophet’ Cindy Jacobs” and which included a link to the sponsors of The Response. Wildmon said, “The headline was unfair. We did not unite with Cindy Jacobs.” Asked who invited her to endorse the event, Wildmon responded that he did not know, saying “maybe it was someone from Governor Perry’s office.” One of the…

Creationism 3.0: Meet Intelligent Design’s Huckster

By Michael Schulson

…New York Times bestseller. More plausible than the arguments of 6,000-year-old-earthers, and much slicker than the earlier, bumbling efforts of intelligent design-ers, creationism 3.0 has arrived. Two things about Darwin’s Doubt are misleading from the start. The first is the book’s billing as a study of the Cambrian explosion (which, for those who dozed off in paleontology class, is a period in geological history known for the rapid diversifica…
