‘Do They Even Read the Bible?’ — Why Exposing White Evangelical Hypocrisy is a Dead End

By Cavan Concannon

…e, Gov. Ron DeSantis’ misquotation of Ephesians 6:11 in a speech in June of 2021, in which he urged, “You got to put on the full armor of God. You got to take a stand—take a stand against the left’s schemes.” The actual verse in Ephesians reads: “Put on the whole armour of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil” (NRSV). DeSantis changed the biblical text in his allusion, equating the US Left with the devil. Few evange…

Reading these reviews, I had a bad case of deja vu. As one of my friends, a f…

Where Did White Evangelicalism’s Hatred of Critical Race Theory Really Begin?

By Andre E. Johnson

…ment and action—any and all support for Critical Race Theory. At the recent 2021 Southern Baptist Convention held in Nashville, many messengers came to the convention to rescind Resolution 9, despite the fact that it was only the faintest nod to the existence of systemic racism and essentially demanded nothing of its members. When they discovered they couldn’t do that because resolutions are nonbinding and merely express the sentiment of messenger…

By Aidan Orly

…h antisemitic conspiracy theories. Following Netanyahu’s failed election in 2021, evangelical author Mike Evans, who claims millions of followers, blamed the anti-Netanyahu bloc for risking Israel’s downfall in a Times of Israel blog post titled “Israel’s political striptease show.” Drawing a comparison between Netanyahu’s opposition and German Jews who supposedly allowed the Holocaust to happen because they were too “busy insulting each other [an…

As Florida Attempts to Make it Illegal, an Argument for the Sacred Work of White Discomfort

By Robert P. Jones

…erge now? According to a study by The Brookings Institution, as of November 2021, 9 states had passed and 20 states had introduced bills that are being promoted as banning CRT. Part of the answer lies in the unique cultural moment we are inhabiting as a country. As I argued in my 2016 book, The End of White Christian America, the visceral nature of today’s white conservative politics is driven by its desperate need for new mechanisms for ensuring…

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

By John Stoehr

…n the country, the Southern Baptist Convention, before he was pushed out in 2021 for criticizing Donald Trump. Since then, Moore has rebranded himself as defender of the soul of evangelical Protestantism. But his gambit depends on something important: that the broad public doesn’t know much about conservative religion. Moore wants us to believe that “Christianity is in crisis.” But it’s not in crisis—not for the reasons that he claims it is. Nor i…

Catholics Across the Globe Reject Vatican’s LGBTQ Cruelty — Others Blame the Sock

By Mary E. Hunt

…luding Pope Francis who “was informed and gave his assent” to the March 15, 2021 document that set off a firestorm. The Vatican’s ban on same-sex blessings was hardly a surprise to those who keep an eye on all things Roman, as I try to do in this space. What amazes are the many and varied ways some Catholics try to explain and excuse a statement that is perfectly consistent with current institutional church teaching. The welcome surprise is the st…

…and his presence at Trump’s Stop-the-Steal rally preceding the January 6th, 2021 storming of the U.S. Capitol building. Eastman’s rhetoric, which has twice resulted in him being censured by the Alaska State House (first by Democrats in 2017 and most recently by his own fellow Republicans in 2023), has been labeled “incendiary” by national news—an accurate characterization of his Trumpian arguments that native Alaskan women have abortions to obtain…
