Death in the Desert: Riding With the Samaritans

…him, Go, and do thou likewise. Luke 10:36-37 Traveling along the W. Tucson-Ajo Highway Friday morning near the Arizona-Mexico border, dawn is still a long way off. Brother David Buer, a Franciscan friar, sits in the backseat while I ride shotgun next to Jeff Millsap, a 40-year-old community activist. We are headed to the Tohono O’odham Nation, the third largest reservation in the country and an area only a little smaller than the state of Connect…

Call Me Pesach

…seemed to matter than they once did. Visiting elderly Jews in Brooklyn, Co-op City, or the New Jersey suburbs, I was usually invited to stay a while, maybe long enough to meet a visiting granddaughter. Yes, I knew a little Yiddish, but there seemed a shared language no matter what words we used. It was a language not of theology but culture; not ritual but experience. In my time as a Jewish book collector, I came in contact with Jewish images of…

Apocalypse Now and Then: Our Global Death Wish

…such a war. What ought we do about millennial thinking in our day? If the combined 1300 pages of these two books have taught me anything, it’s that we can’t make it just go away. There is something fascinating, and perverse, in the human psyche that seems to yearn for this world to be other than how it is, even if that means destroying it.  Some of the scholars in the Oxford hand*]}*book offer important insights into the roots of the phenomenon (incl

Heterosexual Martyrs and Gay Saints: Did AIDS Coverage Clear the Way for LGBT Equality?

…rested in the gay community and assumed their view reflected the population-at-large. The only stories that roused them were marked by sensationalism or conflict. As the dimensions of the AIDS epidemic emerged, these two themes—gay libertinism and religious condemnation—became frames for seeing the disease as a moral as well as medical problem. Even stories that were not about religious responses to AIDS often evoked the moral/medical axis. As the…

Christian Terrorism Comes to Milwaukee

…soldiers abandoned by wars that have come to an end, and it appeals to want-to-be warriors like Page. Some of the best known jihadi terrorists were part of the 1980s Afghan struggle of the Muslim mujahidin against the Soviet occupation. Osama bin Laden went to the battlefield to establish a guest house for foreign Muslim fighters drawn to the region. He called the hostel al Qaeda, “the base.” Among the foreign fighters drawn to the Afghan conflict…

A Tale of Religious Tolerance… On Reddit

…ag” posted the picture under the Reddit tab “Funny,” hoping to get an elbow-in-the-side snickering reaction from the online community. But what happened next speaks volumes of Reddit contributors. Although many of the mostly white, liberal, and somewhat-educated young male audience showed their ignorance for diverse religious values, most bit back. Reddit peers verbally tore “european_douchebag” apart, castigating him for not only taking a creepy…

D’Souza: ‘Traditional Values’ for You, Freedom to Follow my Heart for Me

…president Dinesh D’Souza has found himself in an uncomfortable position vis-à-vis the right-wing movement that has funded and shepherded his career as a conservative “scholar.” It seems he’s been traveling to religious right events and sharing a hotel room with a woman he has been introducing as his fiancée. But it also seems that he is still married, and didn’t even file for divorce until he was questioned about the situation by evangelicals, acc…

MIT, Facing Opposition to Extremist Speaker, Might Try Google Next Time

…kground, bringing someone with a track record of making homophobic and anti-Muslim comments to one of the world’s most prestigious universities makes little sense. And, in the event that MIT was having trouble finding a conservative economist who hasn’t disparaged marginalized communities, perhaps it ought to think more deeply about that. In the end, the value of holding the India symposium at MIT will likely be drowned out by the presence of some…

In the Aftermath of the “Himalayan Tsunami”

…omic, and historic significance that, one way or another, it will surely re-open with a better long-term plan for the development of the site. But I am worried about the kind of rebuilding that is only occasionally newsworthy. I am worried about what will happen to the families like those of the men and few women who were caught by the waters in the small village of Rambara where I used to stop for lunch on the walk up to Kedarnath. It is now buri…

The Religious Implications of Nudity

…liberal. My academic career never recovered (just try to explain that to a search committee repeatedly asking, “but why were you let go?”). For five years I clutched to the lifestyle I knew by living as an adjunct instructor at four different universities. As I was pondering the religious implications of nudity, I realized that the humility of being unwanted in the world of your peers is its own kind of nakedness. Considering our national epidemic…
