Mitt’s Jesus, Barack’s Jesus, and Why Christ’s Color Matters

…Wright and black-liberation theologians remain a staple of the right-wing talk circuit. Although the white Christ has a varied, sometimes sordid, history in the United States, it is the norm. It is the default image. It is there even when being challenged, mocked, and parodied (as has been the case on television in Good Times and South Park, and in films such as Talladega Nights and Dogma).   Ed Blum: Post-racial is both an illustration and an il…

The Magic of the Higgs Boson Particle

…out of the Higgs boson and particle colliders themselves. It is noteworthy that when an effort is made to make sense out of the technical jargon of science and convert it into more colloquial terms (even when it is professional physicists like Whitestone and Lederman doing the talking) we seem to revert to talk of magic and wizardry. I suspect that this isn’t merely a matter of scientists talking down to a lay audience, but is a sign of the utili…

Do Make Trouble: The Complex World of Radical Jewish ‘Revenge Theologian,’ Meir Kahane

…phets know, is quite angry and vengeful. I have another essay I wrote that talks about Kahane’s ethics of violence. Violence for him wasn’t only a deterrent, it was an act of self-formation, especially in America. This is very much in line with the Black Panthers, Black nationalism, and Malcom X. The idea of violence gives the Black person pride in being Black. And he felt that way about Jews too, so I think, for him, revenge wasn’t only a theolog…

From “It’s Just Words” to Just Words: Speech Ethics in the Time of Trump

…ic on personal and communal change. We must teach and learn better ways of talking with one another in order to repair the world and reconcile diverse groups of people. To repeat Emilie Townes’ powerful question: When we talk in public, “what is the society we are trying to create?” Rules of Engagement: Promoting “Public Safety” When I speak to my fellow Christians, urging public engagement, I stress that the goal is not to invade the public squar…

America’s National Conversation about Christianity is ‘Fundamentally Unserious’ — But Not in the Way You Think

…urse, quoting any of the “kids” in question, because why would we actually talk to America’s ex-evangelicals when we can instead use them as props for our laments about a “crisis” in the church? America’s elite discourse about Christianity is indeed “fundamentally unserious,” but not for the reasons conservative Christians would have us think. Their privilege has made them accustomed to being coddled, so they consider a conversation about Christia…

A Pastor’s Suicide: Addressing Mental Health in Black Churches

…also provides a chance to name the violence of silence that often shrouds talk of mental illness within some Christian worshipping spaces.  Theologies that Kill?    In some Black churches, as well as many other Christian denominational worshipping spaces, notions of redemption and salvation are deeply shaped by theological renderings of an afterlife—the soul’s journey to heaven or hell. Sermons developed in response to literalist interpretations…

No Virginia, There’s No “Clash of Civilizations”

…ever say about any other religion. The bigotry was much more pronounced on talk radio and blogs. Some of those things echoed what was said about Jews in the nineteenth century. The more carefully I listened, the more it seemed that they were really worried not about problems in the Muslim world but about problems in the West. What’s the most important take-home message for readers? That depends on the reader. The message to leave with is the messa…

A Memoir of Jewish, Transgender Spirituality

…ead in families that go through gender transition. I felt obligated not to talk about things that would only apply to my ex and my children, and I asked my daughters’ therapist to review the chapters in which I talked about my children and tell me what she thought should be omitted.  Strangely enough, I also felt it was important to leave out anything connected with my life as a writer and scholar, even though no one’s privacy was at stake. I felt…

New History Finally Recognizes Afro-Creole Spiritualists

…ten tell my students that when we talk about American religion, we’re also talking about politics. And when we talk about American politics, we’re also talking about race. Religion, politics and race are not unconnected and sitting in separate boxes. In A Luminous Brotherhood, we see religious practice and rhetoric make clear arguments for political equality. To be a Spiritualist in the Cercle Harmonique was to be political. Claiming equality and…

Creators of Missing Lowe’s Ad Tell All

…poke with all three earlier this week —ed.  As you know, there is a lot of talk about your people forming a stealth movement to take over America. You come here, marry our women, have babies to overtake our population, and try to control our entertainment industry. As part of the Canadian cabal to institute “niceness” everywhere, how do you respond? PC: Canadians are the new Ladies’ Men. Even the women. They make all the American ladies swoon. RM:…
