By Kaya Oakes

…and not putting my expectations on them. In the book I write about one low-income apartment complex I was living in and how I was annoyed because I had baked someone cookies but they wouldn’t open the door to me. My friend, who had lived in such communities much longer than me, told me I should be grateful that I was experiencing an authentic interaction instead of false acceptance based on traditional models of charity—the kind giver and the gra…

By Kate Childs Graham

…r, six, eight, and twelve children. Also, a woman either works or is a stay-at-home mom, with a few exceptions. Interestingly, many mothers featured are graduates of ranking universities—Harvard, MIT, and Stanford, to name a few. Jane Reckart, a Stanford grad and stay-at-home mom, remarks on how Opus Dei helped her along to way to motherhood: …I was caught unprepared for how debilitating pregnancy would be for me. I was sick, listless, and depress…

When Straight People Tell Gay Stories

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…e pointed out that Kurek’s experiment, while certainly eye, mind, and heart-opening for him, was just that—an experiment. While Kurek may have felt the sting of the reverse closet—dealing with the stigma of being perceived as gay AND having to hide his true straight identity from his new gay and lesbian friends—his experience always had an end date in sight. There was always going to be a time when he could go back to being in that acceptable “nor…

The Most Religious Race: Islam in Europe

By Haroon Moghul

…of their own unchecked individualism, are ripe for conquest. The conquerors-in-waiting are Europe’s marginalized Muslims. That is not the only thing that is “hard to define,” let alone hard to believe. Caldwell never explains the terms and concepts on which his alarm depends. 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…

The Bible May Be Stranger Than You Think … And Why It Matters

By Kristin Swenson

…every translation is necessarily an interpretation. There is no perfect one-to-one correspondence across languages. Translations can mislead, even without any ill intent. For another thing, the Bible’s forms of text are themselves diverse and so demand different ways of reading. Consider: shouldn’t you read the dictates of a law differently than you do a work of poetry filled as it is with metaphors and innuendo, differently than you do a genealog…

By Frederick Clarkson

…ould have to put up with it.” As a comedy writer who has worked on the take-no-prisoners cartoon show South Park, and whose journalism experience, as she notes, stopped with Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, she saw herself as an unlikely reporter for the occasion. And yet, she got the story when others have not. She says that she could recognize “absurdity.” And that may have been the best qualification. Un-Faking the War The ‘fake’ war may just g…

Inventing Jesus: An Interview with Bart Ehrman

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…tory. Ehrman took time recently to talk with Religion Dispatches about his new book. RD: What inspired you to write this book? You write that you had another book in mind instead of this one. BE: For a long time now, I’ve gotten a couple of emails a week from people asking me whether I think Jesus existed. When I first started getting these I didn’t pay them much attention, but then I realized there were a LOT of people asking the same question. A…

Driscollpalooza Time… Must Be Book Promo Time

By Rob Shryock

…rritt has articulated beautifully over at Religion News Service, these back-to-back controversies show us what a huge, awful hypocrite Mark Driscoll is. Driscoll spends half his time arguing that Christians need to be more inclusive, and the other half condeming a great portion of his fellow Christians to hell. His new book, A Call to Resurgence, follows that script arguing that only 8% of Americans are “true evangelicals,” while simultaneously,…

Will Mindfulness Change the World? Daniel Goleman Isn’t Sure

By Jay Michaelson

…leadership, family dynamics, even ecological awareness. He’s become the go-to-social-psychologist for the TED Talk set. And his new book, Focus, is a New York Times bestseller. But before any of that fame, Goleman was a hardcore Buddhist meditator—and remains one today. His early books were about the development of the contemplative path, and throughout his work has run the theme of how meditative practice, in secular or spiritual contexts, can l…

Drone Warfare, Divine Omniscience, and the Unspeakable Power of the Photographic Image

By Peter Laarman

…IA torture, “renditions” to other state torturers, mechanized assassination-by-drone (with many thousands of innocents collaterally killed), bloody and chaotic regime change premised on falsified intelligence, the moral injury suffered by soldiers in America’s interminable twilight wars, what the liberators saw in the Nazi death camps, the ongoing legacy of American lynching: these are all things still living in our consciousness that are too horr…
