Is Religion to Blame for Violence? Karen Armstrong’s Flawed Case

By Paul Harvey

…ar go together like a horse and carriage, news broke of the latest atrocity-of-the-day: the beheading of 21 Egyptian men by ISIS, apparently in Tripoli. The men were Coptic Christians, from an Egyptian village where Christians and Muslims have lived together peaceably, but where lack of employment opportunities compel men to look for work abroad. According to NPR, one of the brothers of the victims of the gruesome executions invoked a biblical use…

Bibi’s Megillah to Obama

By Sarah Posner

…eality,” which pinpoints where the next world “hot spot” will be. That soon-to-be-flaming location is where the Book of Esther was set: namely Persia, or in modern parlance, Iran. Seated beside Lapin in the ornately gilded Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) studio was Pastor John Hagee, the author of an incendiary new book purporting to show that the Bible predicts a military confrontation with Iran. By then, Hagee’s book, Jerusalem Countdown, had…

Stalked by The Plague, ‘The Maiden of All Our Desires’ Follows a Medieval Abbey at a Time When Monastic Life Was a Refuge for Women

By Kaya Oakes

…him, when it comes to the plague, “mysticism will not protect us.” But the book’s most compelling character spends much of the story behind the scenes and off the page. Mother Ursula, the community’s mystical, ancient foundress, left the community when they chose to build a wall around the abbey. She spends most of the book in a remote cave communing with birds and sending scraps of prayer to the nuns, which later become the fictional Book of Ursu…

The Redemptive Power of Jewish Self-Hatred

By Gordon Haber

…e characters, is how much these characters hate themselves. Herr Aarenhold feels “vivid self-contempt” for “the blood which flows in his veins.” His son Siegmund has “so abnormal and constant a need for purification” that he spends hours washing and dressing. Mann takes pains to telegraph how Jewish self-hatred has irredeemably warped the Aarenholds—the story ends with Siegmund deflowering his twin sister. The Blood of the Walsungs is a nasty, fas…

Thomas Nelson Addresses Driscoll Plagiarism Allegations

By Becky Garrison

…ting multiple instances where the author quoted from Justin and Lindsey Holcomb’s book Rid of my Disgrace (Re:Lit series, published by Crossway, 2011) in Real Marriage. However, as of this date, Thomas Nelson has yet to respond publicly to the numerous allegations of plagiarism in that book, as well as Mark Driscoll’s other book Who Do You Think You Are?, also published by Thomas Nelson. Looks Thomas Nelson’s silence might be golden as they appear…

Pro-LGBT Evangelical David Gushee: “I’m With You and the Church Needs to Change.”

By Sarah Posner

…“I’m not proud of how long it took me, in fact I apologize for that in the book.” The book, he says, isn’t about marriage or sex, but “about acceptance of the most beaten-up minority in the Christian world. It’s about ending harm. It’s about adolescents making the terrifying discovery that they are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender” and being met with the “distressingly familiar response,” including “anger, abuse, rejection, exile, even the co…

How a Fringe Theocratic Movement Helped Shape the Religious Right As We Know It

By Sarah Posner

…do they think it has gone wrong? I once emailed Gary North (Rushdoony’s son-in-law and a leading proponent of “biblical economics”) about this book, describing it as a work on the legacy of Rushdoony in the religious right. He replied with just two words: “short book.” Reonstructionists think contemporary American Christians need to be more self-conscious about bringing every aspect of their lives under biblical law. Reconstructionists do engage i…

RDBook: Bernard Avishai’s The Hebrew Republic

By Mitchell Plitnick

…“let the moment” for adopting an Israeli Constitution pass in 1949. In his new book, The Hebrew Republic, Avishai takes this argument one step further, suggesting that Israel’s best hope for peace-and for a bright future—is to embrace European-style secular democracy, integrating its Arab citizens into a business-driven globalized economy. Israel and Europe Like many contemporary Israelis, Bernard Avishai deeply admires the European Union. Though…

Honey Boo Boo and the Sweet By and By

By Carrie Allen Tipton

…ce of its existence. What strikes one immediately about Douglas Harrison’s new book, Then Sings My Soul: The Culture of Southern Gospel Music, is how admirably it resists facile caricature and simplistic interpretation of a musical tradition which, although it has demonstrated global appeal, remains linked to rural white Southern fundamentalism. In fact Harrison’s entire thesis rests on his belief that rich inner lives flourish in contemporary eva…

America Does Not Have a Religious Identity

By Dennis J Goldford

…deliberate double meaning of 1) the Constitution as a charter of religious freedom, and 2) the act of constituting religious freedom, and Baylor came up with the clever subtitle, God, Politics, and the First Amendment. I was able to give my concluding chapter the title, “One Nation under Whose God?” How do you feel about the cover? I’m actually quite happy with it. Beyond being aesthetically attractive, it makes a substantive point by nesting the…
