Beyond Radical: Mary Daly, Feminist Theologian, Changed Worlds

By Susan Henking

…nd Religion section of the American Academy of Religion), Mary Daly was an agent of change. Self-identified as a revolutionary and a radical, branded a conservative essentialist or racist by others, her works of philosophical, theological, and genre-bending scholarship affected generations of women. For Daly, women, (W)omen—that’s what she was all about. And, even more radically, she was about women loving women, lesbians with a capital L, meaning…

Is Islam Eco-Friendly?

By Amina Wadud

…of pleasing Allah. The Qur’an considers the human being as a khalifah, an agent. Part of our agency is caring for each other and caring for all of nature. There are hundreds of passages in the Qur’an that turn our attention to nature. We are enjoined to observe these as ayat, signs from God. Careful observation is in fact part of faith. We never had that separation between science and religion in Islam, and all of the statements in the Qur’an abo…

Christians to Conservative Conference: Gays, No! Birchers, Yes!

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…including calling President Dwight D. Eisenhower, “a dedicated, conscious agent of the communist conspiracy.” The John Birch Society also contended that fluoride being added to drinking water was a communist mind control plot and they contended that the secret conspiracy to destroy America encompassed everything from that darn fluoride to the League of Women Voters and the Civil Rights Act. The John Birch Society was, in fact, so opposed to civil…

Suicide Bombers and the Prozac God: A Review of Dying for Heaven

By Bruce B. Lawrence

…/Prozac principle when in fact they are, to quote Glucklich, just one more agent for constructing new “ways in which pleasure can motivate us while eluding our conscious awareness.” I fear that the danger of taking this book seriously far outweighs any from these Sufi subjects, as well as their Jewish and Hindu counterparts whom the author feels are the next wave of ‘inner’ terror to threaten unaware Americans. It is a pity that the long list of f…

Reverend Billy For Mayor: Is He For Real?

By Nathan Schneider

…the liberation of performance and activism, the value of being an outside agent,” she says. For the most part, though, they’re using the campaign to do more of what they have done for the past decade: reaching out to people on the streets and “talking,” says Talen, “about the homemade spirituality of a funky, fascinating, messy democracy.” Gesturing toward a world beyond the Shopocalypse, Reverend Billy calls out the unquestioned perversity of co…

The Most Religious Race: Islam in Europe

By Haroon Moghul

…How does Islam have the power to infiltrate Europe when it is not even an agent? Why should we believe that underperforming minorities could dominate countries with the world’s highest standards of living? What is Europe, anyway? Is it the European Union, or, as his title also suggests, the West? When was Europe a happy land of monotony, free of pesky minorities, indulging in its unchanging cultural preferences, such as—I kid not—pea soup? Why is…

On Religion, Abortion, and Politics: Dr. George Tiller’s Christian Ethics

By Ed Knudson

…ck on the institutional power of the church led to great changes. Enormous numbers of people were “professional” religious. Luther urged them to stop trying to save their own souls: they should leave the monastery, go into the community and bake some bread, make some shoes, teach in a public school, build up the life of the community by serving the neighbor. Luther rejected the distinction between divine church and secular world, the world was as…

RD10Q: Spiritual Survival for LGBT Christians

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ole was in the cover design or how I was supposed to react. I contacted my agent who told me that was the number one complaint of new authors—they had very little say in what the cover looked like. I sent the cover to my partner who said, “It looks like a mystery novel.” Finally, I called my editor and meekly voiced my displeasure. She was quick to make suggestions on how to improve it. She agreed to consult with the designer and send me another c…

Heroes: Sex and the Single Superhero

By Nick Street

…at the heart of the program. The trouble—from the perspective of Dekker’s agent—was that the producers at Fox might not want the actor playing JC to bring with him the kind of rep that would follow a star associated with a gay character, which is just how Heroes creator/writer Tim Kring envisioned Zack. So before Dekker left Heroes to take on the role of a teenage messiah, Zack’s timid venture out of the closet was deleted from Kring’s script. Th…

The Immorality of Immortality

By Hava Tirosh-Samuelson

…ard the world. In the same way, the Jewish tradition sees the physician as agent and partner of God in the ongoing act of healing. Precisely because the human body is God’s property, humans have a duty to God to develop and use any therapies that can aid in taking care of our bodies, which ultimately belong to God. But at the same time, since God is the owner of the human body, God can and does impose conditions on human use of the body and among…
