Pittsburgh Paradox: A City Haunted by God and Steel

By Ed Simon

…Home Monthly. An Alternative History of Pittsburgh Ed Simon Belt Publishing 2021 Supplementing her income by teaching high school English, Cather would publish her first fiction in Pittsburgh. No piece written during this time was more evocative of the then drab, crowded, dirty, and chaotic city than her perfect 1905 story “Paul’s Case.” Recounting the travails of the sensitive son of a steel executive, the story is rarely interpreted as a spiritu…

New Patriarch, Same Patriarchy: Despite Glowing Praise For New SBC President, There’s Just One Problem

By Caroline Matas

…the midst of tense debates around race, gender, and partisan politics, the 2021 Southern Baptist Convention made waves by narrowly electing Ed Litton, a white Alabama pastor known for his commitment to racial reconciliation, to serve as its new president. Litton beat out his opponent, far-right Georgia pastor Mike Stone, by fewer than 600 of over 13,000 votes in a runoff election that many believed would be a turning point for a denomination look…

In Just 10 Years ‘The Book of Mormon’ Musical Has Gone From America’s Darling to America’s Latest Problem — The Inverse of the Mormon Story

By Jake Johnson

…n puts identity at the center of its humor in ways that are much riskier in 2021 than they were even ten years ago, its jokes presuming too much idealization for whiteness and what it represents. Like actual Mormons, then, the satirical musical’s carefully constructed trajectory into America’s heart now seems miscalculated. In positioning Mormonism’s exaggerated whiteness and bright-eyed Disney demeanor against an invented Africa, equally buffooni…

Please Stop Using Islam to Critique the Abortion Ban: It Only Excuses the Very Christian, Very White Roots of Anti-Choice Movements

By Sajida Jalalzai

…e passage of SB 8 since Governor Greg Abbot first signed the bill in May of 2021. But what I was not prepared for was the torrent of social media posts that inundated my Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram feeds after the law went into effect that drew explicit connections between the anti-abortion restrictions and Islam. Hashtags like #ShariaLawInTexas and #TexasTaliban, as well as political cartoons featuring burqa-clad women in black “pray[ing] fo…

With the End of ‘Roe’ the Verdict is in: The Supreme Court Majority is Christian Nationalist

By Andrew L. Seidel

…edure and long standing judicial principle, the court jumped in on April 9, 2021 with a midnight ruling. Just six days (five, really, given how late the decision dropped) before the rule change, the court rushed to decide a case it didn’t need to decide. The five crusading justices (and yes, I use the word “crusading” intentionally) rewrote the First Amendment using the shadow docket and an opinion that was only nine paragraphs long. Steven Vladec…

The Evangelical Abortion Myth: An Excerpt from ‘Bad Faith’

By Randall Balmer

…h: Race and the Rise of the Religious Right Randall Balmer Eerdmans August, 2021 This myth of origins has Falwell and other evangelical leaders emerging like mollusks out of their apolitical stupor to fight the moral outrage of legalized abortion. Some even went so far as to invoke the moniker “new abolitionists” in an apparent effort to ally themselves with their antebellum evangelical predecessors who sought to eradicate the scourge of slavery….

A New Book Argues That This ‘Divine Institution’ is the Key to Understanding White Evangelical Culture

By Seth Dowland

…icalism’s Politics of the Family Sophie Bjork-James Rutgers U. Press March, 2021 A literal reading of this parable would spell trouble for most of the young adults at this Bible study. According to anthropologist Sophie Bjork-James, who recounts this story in her sharp new book, The Divine Institution: White Evangelicalism’s Politics of the Family, the participants were uniformly white and well-off. But these self-described literalists immediately…

Latest Diatribe on Francis and Latin Mass in the Times Launders the History — and Troubling Elements — of the ‘Tradition’

By Matthew Gabriele

…nts one at a time. First, desire for the Latin Mass is not large—as of July 2021 (when Pope Francis issued his statement in opposition), only a bit under 4% of all American parishes offered it. This particular reaction to the reforms of Vatican II is, and has consistently been, a small, fringe movement. Second, the priest faced away from the congregation during the Latin Mass because the congregation was (and remains, honestly) irrelevant to its c…

Evangelical Fiction Helped Shape a Culture of Faith — Along with Suspicion, Fear, and Resentment

By Christopher Douglas

…istian Fiction Shaped a Culture and a Faith Daniel Silliman Eerdmans Oct 5, 2021 Silliman explains that the evangelical publishing and marketing industry grew out of an earlier dissolution of denominational publishers and bookstores. Denominations had been the organizing structure of Protestantism until after the Second World War, he notes, and denominational publishing thrived because “a denomination could double as a distribution network.” Silli…

Sacrificing Children on the Altar of Religious Freedom: A Flood of Mask and Vaccine Lawsuits are Warping ‘Religious Freedom’

By Andrew L. Seidel

…. An angel stays his hand, but imagine that this had happened in America in 2021 and that Abraham had followed through. Would old Abe have had a right, based on the religious freedom protections of the First Amendment, to kill his son? This isn’t a hard question, but it is a ridiculous one. In fact, more than 150 years ago the Supreme Court rejected the idea that the right to religious freedom could ever include the right to sacrifice another huma…
