Trump’s ‘God Bless the USA Bible’ is No Joke

By Cavan Concannon

…ng James translation Bible in an “easy-to-read” format, the “God Bless the USA Bible” (GBUSA) also includes: the US Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and The Pledge of Allegiance. Of course, the GBUSA isn’t the first to make an explicit connection between the Bible and the founding documents of the US. The American Patriot’s Bible (2009) features the New King James translation paired with inserts on Christian theol…

Coming Out Twice: Sexuality and Gender in Islam

By Susan Henking

…ace in this progressive dialogue. The opinions expressed by Muslims in the USA, Canada, Europe, and South Africa have a great impact on the international dialogue. I hope more US-based Muslims will take up this challenge, acknowledging the gift of freedom and legal rights that God has given them in their residence here. In the book you “posit that there are real categories of people who can be called gay, lesbian, and transgender” and focus on wh…

New Book by Olivier Roy Argues that Aggressive Attempts to Christianize the West Actually Hasten Secularism

By Ivan Strenski

…enemies―both secular liberalism and Islam―in a lonely effort to reconvert Europe. A religion without a name? Roy’s nuanced complicating of the issue of Europe’s supposed Christian character is deeply welcome. Giving the lie to noisy, self-negating attempts to promote Christianity in the public square helps us appreciate the significance of the genuine attempts of prophetic groups to affect religious renewal in Europe. Appearances can thus be radi…

Trump Considers Pulling USA Out Of Human Rights Council; Indonesian President Blames Democracy For Rise of Militant Islamism; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…Human Rights published a call for legal recognition of same-sex couples in Europe, saying is a question of “legal equality before the law.” The statement notes that while 27 countries in the Council of Europe “provide some form of legal recognition for same-sex couples,” it is also true that many member states “still do not provide any form of legal recognition for same-sex couples at all—with significant negative consequences for the persons conc…

A Meditation on Shopping and Desire

By Michelle Gonzalez Maldonado

…We have an unprecedented access to cheap goods, yet we must recognize that cheap goods are cheaply made. I am not speaking of quality, I am speaking of cheap labor. We must recognize that through the act of shopping, whether it is for an article of clothing, a toy, a pint of strawberries, or even our morning cup of coffee, we participate in a global economy that values profit over people. Disposable goods are made by disposable people, faceless in…

‘America First’ and the Origin of the Modern Jewish Conspiracy

By Eric C. Miller

…dea—spread by Joseph Goebbels’ propaganda office—that the invasion was a crusade to defend Germany and all Europe against the Judeo-Bolshevik menace in the East, was widely popular, both in Germany and abroad—at least, as long as the Germans seemed to be winning the war. After World War II, as Communism spread across Eastern Europe, it carried the widespread fear that Jews were intent, not just on implementing Communism, but on taking revenge agai…

Ross Douthat on the Brink

By Haroon Moghul

…point out that any such division that Douthat pretends to is fantastical. Europe did not need large numbers of Muslim migrants to suffer catastrophic sexual crime, because sexual violence crosses all boundaries. Harassment, molestation, rape and other violence and abuse of women is tragically far more common than we care to admit, and not the province of any one country, culture, class or community. This is, of course, not to excuse the misogynis…

Are Evangelical Films Destined to Leave Secular Audiences Behind?

By Daniel Silliman

…e success either. The opening weekend saw sales of more than $6 million in tickets. That’s the kind of number that will inspire others to try and figure out the formula for the faith-and-family blockbuster. Yet, with the cost of the film reportedly exceeding $30 million, it’s an open question whether or not the Left Behind reboot will get a second installment. The marketing problem of evangelical movies is still, stubbornly, a problem. The general…

Chris Caldwell Sees Muslim Bogeymen. Again.

By Bruce B. Lawrence

…clusions. What and where is this new ray of hope for a Muslim minoritarian Europe of the 21st century? It comes from European governments. They, in cooperation with their Muslim citizens, have begun the task of educating a new, more diverse and non-traditional citizenry. Among the patient observers trying to assess that effort is Jonathan Laurence, not just a professor but also a policy analyst with Brookings Institution. Like Leiken he too has sp…

The Shared Assumption Behind Creationism and Anti-GMO in Europe

By Michael Schulson

…Where creationism is most popular and most influential is more in Eastern Europe. I wouldn’t say that [creationism] is dramatic in Europe, of course. When you compare it to the United States, it’s very small and marginal. But you don’t have to have a lot of people. In Germany, there are not so many creationists, but they’re widely influential, they’re quite active. They are quite capable of making themselves heard. In the book, one contributor ta…
