Please Stop Using Islam to Critique the Abortion Ban: It Only Excuses the Very Christian, Very White Roots of Anti-Choice Movements

By Sajida Jalalzai

…men in black “pray[ing] for Texas women,” or embraced by fist bumping, bearded men (one in a turban and the other in a cowboy hat) have gone viral. These tags and images show how Islam and Muslims continue to be used in America as short-hand for misogyny, barbarism, and oppression. As a Muslim woman living in Texas opposed to SB 8, and as a scholar of Islam, I can confidently say that these comparisons do far more harm than good. Not only do they…

The War Within: Religion and Our Tangled Relationship with Our Bodies

By Michelle Lelwica

…s were entirely different. My desire to control the arthritic pain of my middle-aged body had nothing to do with my adolescent yearning to be skinny. Yet the feeling of wanting to conquer, escape, or transcend my body was very familiar. This familiarity made me wonder whether diverse body issues like weight, chronic pain and illness, disability, and aging are somehow connected. How do we think and feel about somatic experiences that elude our abso…

Theology Fail in Christian Statement on Israel, Judaism, Palestine

By Adam Gregerman

…ts in human history, including those in which Jews suffered terribly, are adduced as well: “the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition… genocides and ethnic cleansing.” In these events, the statement notes, people used Scripture to “elevate one people or one race over another,” and “to support conquest and oppression.” It then compares these horrors with Israeli policies, often in identical language. The choice of these pedigrees for the modern conflic…

Stephenie Meyer, Mormon Feminist?!

By Joanna Brooks

…erature by women matters—even and maybe especially wildly popular novels peddling maddening characters to mass female audiences. Because Stowe and the feminist critics who championed her (and I think Meyer too) knew that tremendous power happens when women connect with women on a mass scale. And this goes to one of the basic foundations of feminism: solidarity. Solidarity in its fullest sense means a willingness to stand by, respect, and promote t…

Undercover-ed Religion: 13 Stories That Went Missing in 2012

By Peter Laarman

…etting into their personal business via legislation or government policy. Add to these “nones” the increasing number of Americans who do self-identify as religious but who decline to vote the way certain popinjay enforcers would have them vote—who vote instead on bread-and-butter issues—and you have a pretty significant sea-change from the last few election cycles. One can imagine the used-car business is looking better and better to the likes of…

Religion Profs Critique PBS’ God Documentary, Call it Simplistic

By Matthew Avery Sutton

…e was not totally impressed. The show, he wrote, was “stuffed with facts and dates and figures” and sometimes strained “to find a way to tie them together.” He also called it “an unusually serious and, to use a word the producers would probably rather not see, intellectual endeavor for television, one that doesn’t make many compromises for short attention spans.” Some professional historians and scholars of American religion, in contrast, criticiz…

New History Finally Recognizes Afro-Creole Spiritualists

By Paul Harvey

…tudents, my advisors, and my family could all read and enjoy the book. In addition to academics, the book will appeal to anyone interested in Reconstruction-era politics and culture, the widespread belief in ghosts and spirits in America, the politics of race, African American religions, and New Orleans and/or Atlantic world history. I hope the book will be assigned in undergraduate and graduate classes, especially undergraduate. Beyond the academ…

As Transition Looms, Jewish Studies is Mired in Controversy

By Shaul Magid

…ow both Jewish academic and religious communities should best respond. In addition, Cohen’s own intellectual project is perhaps the most prominent example of an approach to Jewish Studies that lauds “Jewish continuity” as central to the connections between Jewish Studies and American Jewish communal life, and this approach has been critiqued by Lila Corwin Berman, Kate Rosenblatt, Ronit Stahl, and others, precisely on the grounds of its instrument…

With James Cone’s Death Comes the Death of Black Theology

By Anthony B. Pinn

…ld and must be. However, with the loss of Cone a certain way of thinking and doing black theology—a certain posture toward the work—might have come to an end. This statement has several meanings. First, theology reflecting a mode of (de)construction—first and foremost in conversation with a so-called “dominant” tradition marked out intellectually by figures such as Karl Barth—is no longer the bedrock of black theology’s explicit critique. Perhaps…
