Sacred Texting: When Religious Writ Gets Wired

By Rachel Wagner

…rity, what should people believe? Today’s Christians must decide for themselves which texts “should” have been included in the New Testament and why, and they must do so with limited information about the history and context in which these texts were composed. The implications of such explorations are obvious: Given the competing accounts available both in the New Testament and in other ancient Christian texts, how do Christians know what Jesus re…

Open Letter to Pastor Judah Smith on “Inclusion”: Just for Immigrants, or LGBTQ Too?

By George Mekhail

…stem we are a part of does not take kindly to us pastors thinking for ourselves, no matter how much we declare we are following the Spirit. If we stray from the “traditional orthodoxy” of our day, backlash abounds. Just ask Jesus! I’m not interested in persuading you into full inclusion. I’m not looking for a theological argument or to “call you out” for your theological position either way. In fact, I make no assumptions and have no expectations…

Anti-Gay, Anti Catholic Evangelical Sworn In As Mayor of Rio; More in Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…Tablet. In addition to protesting homosexuality, these marches, which involved some 60 denominations and more than 50 Christian organizations, also included protests against expanded abortion rights. Organizers said the Citizens’ March for Life and Family urged Malawians to oppose legalizing homosexuality, an act they referred to as “a direct attack” on family life. Catholics played a leading role in the March, which was sponsored in part by the…

The Clenched Fist of Truthiness: Why Religion Won’t Fix This

By Daniel Schultz

…ent to contemporary American politics, and the ones most people sort themselves by. Even the seemingly interminable debates over whether Democrats are “faith-friendly” enough revolve around this dynamic, focused on whether Dem policy should respond to an increasingly secular coalition, or whether the party should make concessions in hopes of keeping the remaining traditionalists on board. As I say, we tend to assume that our expressions of faith o…

Sure, There’s No ‘Religious Left’… If You Ignore Non-White Christians and Non-Christians

By Daniel Schultz

Every time I write about debates on Twitter, I feel a bit like I’m reporting on an episode of The Real Housewives. But this one raises some substantial points that are worth considering, so here goes. Feminist writer Jill Filipovic wrote a quick appraisal of a New York Times Magazine article purportedly on the new rise of “punk” Christianity, which, I don’t know, isn’t particularly new (the author wrote on the same scene for RNS last year), but i…

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Red/Blue ‘National Divorce’ Looks an Awful Lot Like a Confederate Flag

By Thomas Lecaque and Joshua Call

There is nothing quite like the fresh hell of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Twitter account, wondering on a daily basis what the most erratic far-right member of congress will scream out into the void. And on Presidents’ Day, she tweeted this: https://twitter.com/mtgreenee/status/1627665203398688768?s=20 We need a national divorce. We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government. Everyone I talk to says this. From t…

The Far-Right Embrace of the Knights Templar isn’t Just About Faith, Tradition or History — It’s About Hate

By Thomas Lecaque

…lic Identity Conference is meeting in a hotel outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Connected to groups like Church Militant, The Remnant and other rad-trad Catholic groups, the conference has been a venue for Steve Bannon, QAnon-linked Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganó, and others to rail against Pope Francis, “globalists” (i.e. “Jews”), and “the New World Order.” The original title for this year’s event, “The Crusade Has Been Called: The Kingship of…

Behind the Inclusive-Sounding Ads of this $100 Million PR-Blitz-for-Jesus it’s the Same Old Conservative Christian Fantasy

By Chrissy Stroop

This month, a $100 million advertising campaign and website have been launched nationwide to help a particular figure rebrand. In the current climate, just who, do you think, might warrant such a massive PR blitz? My own answer would be “no one,” because this kind of spending to prop up the reputations of the already highly privileged strikes me as one of the more disgusting excesses of capitalism. But whether or not you share my convictions, I’m…

The ‘Fake Christian’ Deflection and Contrarian Concern Trolling: How Not to Write about Evangelical Authoritarianism

By Chrissy Stroop

…d insightful analysis of evangelicalism seem at times unable to keep themselves from editorializing with prescriptive theology. More and less nuanced commentators alike have a habit of opining that white evangelicals’ majority anti-immigrant and anti-refugee stance contradicts Jesus’s statement about welcoming the stranger in Matthew 25 instead of considering how illiberal evangelicals interpret the Bible to support their nationalist politics. The…

Less for Moore? If Russell Moore Left the SBC Due to Conscience and Convictions His Next Move Is a Curious One

By Chrissy Stroop

…ved Russell Moore would do the right thing (he might, but it would not absolve him of his overall sexism and homophobia), but because survivors and specifically survivors of SGM abuse deserve better and deserve to not be forgotten.” She also told RD, “I’ve not received any follow-up communication from the church so far. I’m planning on reaching out myself with a letter but haven’t done so yet. I don’t have current plans to show back up physically,…
