In the Papal Pocket: Benedict XVI and the Press

…has to do to assure softball questions, few dissident voices, and reverent talk about the number of ciboria necessary to serve communion in baseball stadiums. And, we are all supposed to know what ciboria are (for the record, they are the goblet-shaped metal vessels that hold the hosts—that is, the wafers—used for communion). Catholic terminology is about the only thing used liberally in these exercises. Television hosts like Tim Russert fairly sw…

RD Book: Class Conscious

…looking at evangelicals who can’t be neatly confined by class-based “other-talk,” the book demonstrates the need for a language of class that will help make sense of the shifting terrain of religious identification and socio-political power. Lindsay found his publisher-friend an evangelical to talk to who graduated from the same Ivy League school that she did; what that might mean in a year where lines of political power will no doubt be significa…

Evangelicals have “Deep Concerns” about Beck

…values, and concerns evangelicals find important.” Still, though, the God-talk isn’t enough. Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, took to the airwaves yesterday, arguing that while “much of what he [Beck] has to say on economics and politics makes a great deal of sense to us,” that’s not enough: “[J]ust to debunk liberal ideas does not give you then the authority to be taken at your word, or at just your media pr…

Religion and Resistance at the New National Museum of African American History and Culture

…we talk about resistance. On these most recent killings, we’re on Twitter talking about police brutality and violence, but we’re also talking about religious faith and theology—even if we don’t think that’s what we’re talking about. How do we tell the story of the Good Samaritan when the person on the side of the road is killed? There are a lot of people in our current political climate and our current discussions about race who are really using…

Promise Keepers 2.0: Women and Jews Invited

…in 1996 and expressed his dismay at his community’s invisibility. All that talk about racial reconciliation at PK rallies, but what about us, the rabbi asked? What about the Jews? PK’s rhetoric of reconciliation gave McCartney and Washington a way to conceptualize one missing piece of their Christian multicultural mosaic. Yes, white Christians have oppressed black and brown people, the logic of this thinking goes, but there is a rift even more anc…

Why Bill Maher Gets a “C” in My Introduction to Religion Class…

…uckers Church,” Maher interviews individuals, alone, as if he’s on his HBO talk show (but even there, there’s a panel . . .). It’s a great strategy for TV but that’s not the way life, to say nothing of religious life, operates. This is the first key problem with the modus operandi for the film: it functions like a talk show, imagining that religious life can be reduced to a few sound bites, told via spoken words, by a single person, in an artifici…

Soft Supremacy: When “Liking” Love Is Not Enough

…sin may make us feel better, but they are not strategic. And if we want to talk about love in a useful way, can we please at least acquaint ourselves with King’s notion of dynamic love: a love that reckons with power, love that analyzes and understands power, and love that builds power to make structural change? I’m hearing lots of talk in white liberal circles about drawing a “moral bright line” against the Nazis, KKK, and other haters. I suggest…

His Holiness, Inc.: The Dalai Lama as a Spiritual Mega-Brand

…teachings and business, Krause was confident that, “having the Dalai Lama talk about being ethical and compassion will be important to my future” in some as yet unspecified way. Somewhat lost in all of this, of course, is the idea that “compassion”—from the Latin compatio—does not equate to happiness in the sense of deep personal satisfaction, including career success and associated wealth. Rather, it means “suffering with.” It is an act of conse…

Fight the Power: How to Read, and Re-Read, the Book of Revelation

…ions indicate that he has different attitudes about sexuality because he’s talking to Gentiles—and I think he thinks it doesn’t really matter for them. Let’s drive forward two thousand years. What does your reading of Revelation offer to the contemporary struggle over religion and politics in America? I do think, as an American, that the separation of religion and politics is very important because we have so many religious groups. But I realize t…

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

…r authority. Inerrancy is the concept their leaders use to legitimate such talk. Unity in these concerns, however, does not yield unity in the interpretation of the Bible or even in how to understand the nature of truth and inerrancy. Inerrancy itself is a contested, polemical landscape. One of the notable books in the social history of biblical inerrancy was Harold Lindsell’s Battle for the Bible, published in 1976. It quickly became a lightning…
