By Michelle Lelwica

…ging) have been neutral topics in the history of Christianity. And it’s eye-opening to learn how certain narratives within the Christian tradition reappear in contemporary thinking about bodies. For example, the association between disability, punishment, and sin in some biblical texts continues to linger in the abliesm and general aversion towards disabled bodies that’s prominent in society today. To give another example, the very idea of a “good…

From Organized Religion to Organizing Religion: Brian D. McLaren Wants Christians to Be Better

By Peter Laarman

…eme that McLaren has been carefully developing for years is present in the new book, only amplified with a new sense of urgency that seems to be informed by the climate change crisis, the new Movement for Black Lives, and the rising Islamophobia that so poisons our politics. Although framed as a call for migration to a new love-centered Christian orientation (note the silhouette of birds in flight on the book jacket), McLaren also speaks of conver…

A Hidden Amy Coney Barrett Answer on COVID That Should Scare Every American

By Andrew L. Seidel

…ffectively outlawed a particular religion’s holy ritual. That Barrett sees common-sense health measures as analogous to Lukumi is disturbing. If she didn’t agree with the fabricated premise of the question—that churches are targeted—she would have dodged the question, as she dodged so many others, including straightforward questions about voting twice. A charitable interpretation would be that Barrett is blinded by a Christian persecution complex….

Is Bill Barr’s Belief in a Powerful President Actually Religious? A ‘High Papal’ Fable

By Ivan Strenski

…a ‘high papal’ vision of the way things have been and should be. In his latest book Tom Holland serves up an example of a literature affirming Europe’s ‘deep Christianity,’ though tilted very much in what I call a ‘high papal’ direction. An astonishingly brilliant and productive polymath, Holland has authored acclaimed popular histories on the end of the Roman Republic (Rubicon, 2003), the 5th Century BCE Persian-Greek wars (Persian Fire, 2005),…

Rent-Free Religion in New York’s Public Schools

By Katherine Stewart

…ool in New York City, the religious group that has made the school its rent-free home for several years is now seeking other arrangements. They no longer meet up to four times a week at the school, and instead restrict their presence to Sunday evenings. By February 12, the deadline set by New York’s Department of Education, they will have to find another space. But the religious movement of which they are a part still has our public schools, and c…

Communicators for Christ: How Homeschool Debate Leagues Shaped the Rising Stars of the Christian Right

By R.L. Stollar

…th Keepers, his support of child marriage, and his presence at Trump’s Stop-the-Steal rally preceding the January 6th, 2021 storming of the U.S. Capitol building. Eastman’s rhetoric, which has twice resulted in him being censured by the Alaska State House (first by Democrats in 2017 and most recently by his own fellow Republicans in 2023), has been labeled “incendiary” by national news—an accurate characterization of his Trumpian arguments that na…

Will a New Dawkins Foundation-Sponsored App Help Atheists Talk to Believers?

By Alana Massey

…f you are a public figure,” says Vigeant. “But we are interested in the one-on-one conversations. At this level, we take a kind approach.” I asked Snow to try Atheos because of his personal history with an evolving faith. Snow was raised as a conservative evangelical in Northern Virginia and was “intent on converting the world to my particular theological conclusions.” In college, because of his experiences in the classroom and in witness to “the…

Why Hobby Lobby is a Pandora’s Box: Ginsburg v. Alito

By Julie Ingersoll

…ly generally. Congress responded by legislating what had been the Sherbert Test (RFRA) and then-President Clinton signed it into law. The Court struck down RFRA saying it violated the Court’s authority to interpret the Constitution but let RFRA stand as a law limiting the Federal Government (thus its relevance to the Affordable Care Act). In his Hobby Lobby decision, Alito dismissed concerns about other religious exemption claims saying that each…

What the Lost Finale is Really About

By S. Brent Rodriguez Plate

…mes Marlon Brando’s “Colonel Kurtz,” but with a really nice smile. The hall-of-fame philosophers in the show have been well noted, and I won’t spend much time rehearsing the Enlightenment roles of John Locke, David “Desmond” Hume, and Rousseau in the course of Western world history. What is intriguing in Lost is the way that each character seems to have alternate, double personalities from those of their namesakes. In the “real,” historical realm,…

Lesbian Nuns: Still Immodest After All These Years

By Susan Henking

…taly. The notion of the lesbian nun was not a new one. Denis Diderot’s 18th-century anti-Catholic piece entitled La Religieuse (The Nun) certainly portrayed what we might see as lesbian activity on the part of nuns. And, just a year prior to the publication of Immodest Acts, Naiad Press published Rosemary Curb and Nancy Manahan’s influential and controversial collection of pieces entitled, yes, Lesbian Nuns (in that case, subtitled Breaking Silenc…
