By Sarah Posner

…s time to stand up and speak out.” Wait, what? Christians are losing their freedoms? Kern singled out hate crimes legislation as an infringement on religious freedom: “The goal of hate crimes legislation is to silence speech determined to be opposed to the homosexual lifestyle.” Kern is also close to Paul Blair, a local pastor who also leads Reclaiming Oklahoma for Christ and, along with Kern’s husband, joined Baldwin’s Black Regiment. In 2010, Am…

The New York Times Adds a ‘Kinder,’ ‘Gentler’ Anti-Gay Authoritarian Christian to its Roster

By Chrissy Stroop

…with a side of faux-feminism. Warren once put it this way to Christianity Today magazine: “My hope is that in 30 years, we wouldn’t need anything like the Pelican Project, because local churches would be full to the brim with theologically rooted, theologically trained, institutionally credentialed, orthodox women leaders.” But this (unrealistic) dream is couched in excessive concern over the unease of (conveniently unnamed) male Christian leader…

…ioned same-sex marriage for Christians.” In an interview with Christianity Today, World Vision’s U.S. president Richard Sterns affirmed the group’s commitment to traditional Christian values, including sexual abstinence outside of marriage, but the employment policy change means that married same-sex partners will no longer be denied employment or benefits on the basis of the gender of their spouses.

Biblical Inerrancy’s Long History as an Evangelical Activist for White Patriarchy

By Stephen Young

…ho sought to end it. Lindsell would know. He became editor of Christianity Today toward the end of the Civil Rights era. As Dr. Curtis Evans shows, the magazine reserved its harshest criticism for integrationists. It also decried interracial marriage and promoted “voluntary integration”—what Dr. King called the “White Moderate” position that sought to delay justice for Black people until white feelings catch up (still waiting). When Lindsell treat…

By Neil J. Young

…ctly to a political candidate, issuing a statement that affirmed religious freedom and emphasized Mormon-Muslim partnerships in humanitarian causes. Aside from these political differences, Mormons have recoiled at the personality and style of Trump. Conservative, family-oriented, and devout, Mormons are a sharp contrast to the brash and profane Trump, and they have expressed disapproval for the thrice-married billionaire’s lifestyle and temperamen…

By S. Brent Rodriguez Plate

…umber 9 in the “Top 50 Books the Have Shaped Evangelicals” by Christianity Today, alongside works by C.S. Lewis, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Francis Schaffer, and Rick Warren. Her influence is well noted in her obituary by Kate Shellnutt at Christianity Today. Through Elliot’s book, evangelicals latched on to the deaths of these five young men, and their story became a galvanizing force for keeping the faith, and perhaps for inspiration to get up and go….

Four Changes Evangelicals Must Make

By Richard Pierard

…e conservative editorial policies of their flagship magazine, Christianity Today. It really ought to have some staffers who are free not to parrot the old shibboleths of evangelical political and social ethics, and who are more in tune with the values of centrist liberals. Currently they do little more than uphold knee-jerk Republican positions. The lack of serious political and theological diversity in the magazine’s treatment of current issues i…

By Chrissy Stroop

…sense.” Both the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty and Alliance Defending Freedom have since begun vigorously advocating for the “right” of churches to be exempt from quarantine measures, though legal precedent makes a strong case that churches have no such right. In any case, there are reasons to think that those right-wing Christians exercising caution over possible damage to their religion’s reputation in light of current events are on to some…

Who Killed Mars Hill Church? There’s One Suspect Evangelicals Simply Aren’t Prepared to Interrogate

By Cavan Concannon

…they assess Driscoll. This is particularly strange given that Christianity Today’s official statement of faith says that the Bible is “inspired of God, hence free from error,” and constitutes “the only infallible guide in faith and practice.” Perhaps the best explanation for this curious lack of biblical assessment is that the very practices that Driscoll is critiqued for find sanction in the Bible. The absence of the Bible from the story of RFMH…

Christian Colleges, Gay Faculty—and the Boy Scouts

By L Marston

…gay faculty member at a Christian college, got my attention. Christianity Today posted an interview with the new president of Calvin College, a highly respected member institution of the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU), while the Huffington Post’s “Parents” portal featured the reflections of a gay father on the Boy Scouts’ decision to permit scouts to be openly gay, but not its leaders. Rather than celebrate the Boy Scouts’…
