A Head Full of Monsters: American History as Horror Show

By W. Scott Poole

…monster at a time when medical experimentation on racial minorities had become rather more common that we realize. I think that the it makes sense that the zombie has become our current monster after a historical moment when apocalyptic notions of getting “Left behind” have become part of the warp and woof of cultural discourse (and I think the world is supposed to end on the 21st of October…right in the middle of my book tour!). Somebody needs t…

The “One True Christian” of His Age?

By Susan Stinson

…What are some of the biggest misconceptions about your topic? Readers who come to the book thinking that they know everything that matters about Jonathan Edwards because they’ve read “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God ” are likely to be startled by his commitment to and ability to evoke experiences of intense spiritual beauty.

Sex Work: In Bed with the Religious Right

By Dagmar Herzog

…ve to look at the astonishingly graphic advice on how to make your partner come, or the recommendations for spanking and light bondage, etc., in online Christian advice sites like The Marriage Bed. Another big misconception is that the best way to resist conservatism is to expose conservative hypocrisy.

This propensity for self-criticism intrigued me because it confirmed how the distance between religious idealism and action can be a touchy issue, one that many people talk about but only a few actually seek to resolve.

RD10Q: What is Black Religion?

By William D. Hart

…en in reality it is deeply rooted in the history of African peoples in the New World; that non-Christian religious affiliations, especially Judaism and Buddhism, render black Americans racially and culturally inauthentic. Did you have a specific audience in mind when writing? Every author wants to be read. My wish is for the broadest audience possible. One is often surprised by the audience that one receives or does not. I hope that there are a lo…

Jeff Flake’s (Mormon-Influenced) Anti-Trump Speeches: Prophetic or Performance?

By Grant Shreve

…or civility; it was a stand for the idea of truth and the practice of truth-telling. Bookending the speech were a quotation from the Declaration of Independence (“We hold these truths to be self-evident . . .”) and the final stanza of a Mormon hymn (“O say, what is truth?”). For many, hearing such quotations alongside one another may seem jarring, especially coming from the floor of the United States Senate in service of an argument upholding “obj…

Andrew Sullivan is Right and Wrong on Racism, Romney, and the Book of Mormon

By Joanna Brooks

…ere ordained to the LDS priesthood during Joseph Smith’s lifetime, and the Book of Mormon openly opposes anti-black racism, in 2 Nephi 26: 33: God inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile. Sullivan is wrong to cite the Book of Mormon scripture from 2 Nephi 5…

When Religion Kills: The Narco-Traffickers of the Borderlands

By Luis Leon

…lorado Christian University in 2000, and Eldredge’s Wild at Heart is a self-help book for Christian men. It teaches that a polite Christianity has castrated men, turning them into “nice guys” and “posers.” As a result, men have lost their “heart,” and he aims to help them rediscover it. The plumb line of the text is that a man’s heart is untamed, adventurous, fierce, even violent—fraught with a penchant for danger. Masculine heart recovery or “res…

Countering the “Countering Violent Extremism” Program

By Elizabeth Shakman Hurd

…’s not counting likes, or scouring for cleavage. CJ is trying to lure would-be-jihadists into conversations about radical Islam on the internet. CJ is not on the verge of becoming the first ever West Point-educated member of the Islamic State. Quite the opposite: his Facebook activity is sanctioned by the State Department and the Combatting Terrorism Center at West Point. Last week, for the third semester in a row, the State Department hosted the…

Lo and Behold, the Sacredness of the Internet

By Martyn Smith

…a digitally connected world, and who will rise to the challenge of his off-angle questions (“does the internet dream of itself?”). Throughout these reveries religion never disappears. In one segment, dedicated to the dark side of the net, we meet a family whose daughter died in a gruesome car crash. When photos of the young woman’s body were posted online the family found they had no way to take the horrific images down. The somber family, interv…
