What Fundamentalist Christian Fiction Can Teach Us About Our American Crisis

By Christopher Douglas

…tics, showing that his fiction trains its male readers to understand themselves as engaged in spiritual warfare against “progressive politicians, liberal education, psychology, pro-choice activists, and the media.” Fundamentalist fiction, in other words, helps to tell stories about proper Christian understandings of gender and sexuality, politics, and the world of the spirit. This is apparent in a second article, by Maggi Kamitsuka, on evangelical…

Why Has the Critique of Hypocrisy Run Out of Steam?

By Christopher Douglas

…itique of hypocrisy rests are wielded by bad faith actors who do not themselves share the principles. Like knowledge and facts themselves in our post-truth era, moral principles derive from group identity. For many conservatives, knowledge circulates in what David Roberts calls a “tribal epistemology.” Facts and principles are not higher than the group; they have become subordinated to the Christianized Republican Party, which has its own institut…

Dehumanizing Huckabee Tweet Another Echo of Dangerous Tribalism

By Bradley Onishi

There’s a direct line from tribal epistemology to dehumanization and genocide. This morning former governor of Arkansas and avid Trump supporter Mike Huckabee tweeted a picture of gang members and dubbed them Nancy Pelosi’s team “for the take back of the House [of Representatives].” https://twitter.com/GovMikeHuckabee/status/1010497564435730434?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F2018%2F06%2F23%2Fpolitics%2Fmike-huckabee-ms13-…

How a Catholic-Majority SCOTUS Fulfilled an Evangelical Dream

By Katherine Kelaidis

If Brett Kavanaugh is confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court (and do not doubt that he will be), the country’s highest court will remain, as it has been for over a decade, a majority Catholic institution. It will also mean that, depending on how we count Neil Gorsuch (more on that in a second), there hasn’t been a single Protestant on the Court since the retirement of Justice John Paul Stevens in 2010. Every justice has been and will continue to be…

“Tell Me What You Believe About Ferguson, and I’ll Tell You What You Believe About God”: A Missouri Pilgrimage

By Anita Little

…g for someone to see it, for someone to look at something outside of themselves.” A San Francisco native who started out as a youth pastor to at-risk children, McBride now devotes much of his time to combating gun violence and police brutality in Oakland. Ferguson is a sort of mecca for the minister, the birthplace of a new way of resistance and the “most transformative” experience of his life. Before 2014, McBride was not an activist, he explaine…

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…

How a 15th Century Book on Witchcraft Helps Make Sense of Trump’s Bizarre Baby Execution Story

By Karen E. Park

At an otherwise typical rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, this weekend, Trump deviated from his usual incendiary and demonstrably false talking points in order to outline a grotesque murder fantasy: The baby is born. The mother meets with the doctor. They take care of the baby. They wrap the baby beautifully. And then the doctor and the mother determine whether or not they will execute the baby. As he spoke in a slightly lilting tone, he gently mime…

Is Trying Really Good Enough? ‘The Good Place’ Has a C-word Problem

By Daniel Albert Joslyn

…mbly recognize our own flaws and to wholeheartedly endeavor to change ourselves and our society. In this, perhaps, we can again find an example in Jameela Al-Jamil. One day after voicing her support for Ellen DeGeneres’s friendship with George W. Bush, and in the midst of a storm of all manner of articles, personal attacks, and social media scribblings, Jamil had the moral courage to admit failure. On October 9th, Jamil took back her earlier comme…

Amid Reality-TV Gimmicks and Xenophobic Rhetoric, Trump’s SOTU Appeals to Evangelicals

By Chrissy Stroop

Since late December, 2019, when retiring editor-in-chief of Christianity Today Mark Galli published his infamous “Trump Should Be Removed from Office” editorial, there’s been a great deal of buzz in the pundit class over whether Trump, after a highly publicized impeachment trial, needs to be concerned with possible defections in his white evangelical base. From an analytical standpoint, the buzz is mere noise, horse race politics nonsense from pe…
