Will the new Jurassic Park movie be an anti-GMO adventure?

By Michael Schulson

…ist (Bryce Dallas Howard) intones midway through the trailer. “A whole new frontier has opened up. We have our first genetically modified hybrid.” Cue the dramatic music and bubbling laboratory equipment, before neatly-dressed-scientist transitions to a scene featuring an earthy man in a brown vest, with fashionable scruff–Chris Pratt, looking like a cross between Indiana Jones and your middle school biology teacher. “They just went and made a new…

Retribution v. Reform in American Justice

By Jennifer Graber

…autiful. It’s a revolution. I love both of these books—even as my own book is so different from them—because of their trained focus on the details within individual lives. What’s your next book? My new project is on religion, violence, and the frontier. It’s called “Spiritual Battlefields: A Religious History of the Indian Wars, 1860-1890.” I have only two chapters written. It’s going to take forever. But it’s another one of those dark stories in…

When Words Kill: A Health Care Glossary

By Ann Neumann

…; but also by a struggling administration forced to address the last great frontier in terms that aren’t inaccurate, misleading, or scary. To this word mix, “pro-life” and end-of-life care advocates have added their own history of debate over terms. Tracking this usage and teasing out words’ actual and implied meanings gives us a glimpse at not only the political implications of a bill in formation, but also at how we as a society engage the disco…

By Lauren Barbato

…roductive health advocates knew that medication abortion would be the next frontier for the anti-abortion movement. Since 2002, when the FDA first approved mifepristone for use in pregnancy terminations and miscarriage management, reproductive health professionals have sought to expand abortion access through medication abortion. In 2020, medication abortion accounted for half of all pregnancy terminations in the United States, according to report…

The Archbishop’s Firestorm

By John Witte Jr.

…divorce the only option left for parties who claim coercion or surprise. A number of religious couples now choose to arbitrate their marital and family disputes before religious courts and tribunals rather than litigate them in state courts. Courts generally uphold the judgments of Jewish and Christian tribunals in these cases. Muslims, Hindus, and other religious minorities are now pressing for equal treatment. To deny Muslims divorce arbitration…

Is “Israel-Firster” Anti-Semitic?

By Sarah Posner

…to a large and established ethnocracy that thinks of itself as a permanent frontier. In 1980, twelve thousand Jews lived in the West Bank, “east of democracy,” Beinart writes; now they number more than three hundred thousand, and include Avigdor Lieberman, Israel’s wildly xenophobic Foreign Minister. Lieberman has advocated the execution of Arab members of parliament who dare to meet with leaders of Hamas. His McCarthyite allies call for citizens…

Homophobic Uganda a “Purpose-Driven Nation”?

By Nick Street

…ght-wing Christian social thought. Its endemic poverty and location at the frontier between Islam and Christianity in Africa have made Uganda—with a population of 30 million in an area about the size of Georgia and South Carolina combined—a focal point for missionary work across the denominational spectrum. The country’s evangelical president-for-life, Yoweri Museveni, has received praise from George W. Bush, at whose encouragement Museveni narrow…

Fight to the ‘Death’ and Go ‘Hungry’ at Hunger Games Camp

By Jodi Eichler-Levine

…political move by normalizing our embodiment of violent roles, our rugged frontier mythos, our winner-takes-all individualism. This makes it easier to accept guns, stand one’s ground, and torture in our names. Maybe it’s all just a bad dream about summer camp. And, of course, the campers are not hungry. As reported in the Tampa Bay Times, they arrive at camp with lunchbags in hand. Their desperation is an act, and they show no fear. Their power c…

Evangelical Fiction Helped Shape a Culture of Faith — Along with Suspicion, Fear, and Resentment

By Christopher Douglas

…a young woman who experienced tragedy but found love and God in a Western frontier home. Oke had read hundreds of romance novels, but none treated religion in the meaningful way Oke experienced. A female editor at Bethany House eventually convinced her male colleagues to take a chance, and Love Comes Softly eventually became a bestseller. Oke wrote others, and, with imitators joining in, Christian historical romances flooded evangelical bookstore…

Muslim Women “Warriors”

By Frances Kissling

…tial irregular ordination by a male bishop in 2002. While these women (who number about 50 priests and five bishops) have been excommunicated, they are living proof that the institutional church has only the power we give it. They go about the business of ministry and service with skill and good grace. Increasingly, Buddhist women have been seeking full ordination within the various branches of Buddhism. In Korea, Taiwan, and China, Buddhist nuns…
