…holds the one who tolerates Jezebel responsible,” writes Patterson in Bridging. Her message is clear: Jesus will punish those who tolerate the Jezebel Spirit.

By Chrissy Stroop

…the current editor-in-chief of the major evangelical magazine Christianity Today, space to rebuke his (mostly White) evangelical coreligionists for spreading the false and harmful narrative that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio are eating people’s pets.

Gandhi, his Grandson, Israel, and the Jews

By Shalom Goldman

…that final clincher—that “Israel and the Jews are the biggest players” in today’s culture of violence. Critics of Israel, both Jewish and non-Jewish, might have misgivings about Israeli policies, but singling out “Israel and the Jews” as the world’s worst offenders sounds to anyone’s ears like anti-Semitic conspiracy theory.

By Peter Montgomery

…ew years prior. Former Argentine President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, today hailed as a gay rights heroine for her fierce advocacy of marriage equality, all but welcomed the opposition to same-sex marriage by then Cardinal of Buenos Aires Jorge Mario Bergoglio (today Pope Francis).

By Daniel C. Maguire

…c Church and nothing in his subsequent writings refutes these basic and broadly accepted assertions. During the Vietnam war, the United States bishops issued instructions to “the faithful.” The bishops said that they thought that war to be just…a judgment very few support today. However, they said that the war was a complicated matter and they urged Catholic to pray and consult and decide for themselves. That’s the kind of good sense and humility…

…nd exaggerations; one of his sources, Hokuto Ide, a reporter for Christian Today—a Jang-affiliated publication in Japan not to be confused with Christianity Today—describes CT’s articles as “predatory efforts by those with commercial interests,” and suggests they’re motivated by “trying to break Olivet’s deal to purchase [the] Glorieta [Conference Center].” I asked Jonathan Park via email why he thought Christianity Today put so much time and effo…

As Transition Looms, Jewish Studies is Mired in Controversy

By Shaul Magid

…h wedding.” Greenberg and Jick may have been willing to pay that price. In today’s world, much of Jewish Studies takes place in secular university campuses across the country, and professors of Jewish Studies are evaluated for promotion or merit on the same grounds as their colleagues. Such parochialism can put those scholars at a disadvantage. In addition, it locks Jewish Studies into an identitarian model where courses would be taught by Jews, a…

By Peter Laarman

…d dead had an eloquence all its own. Altogether a fitting beginning. The Latin root of “inauguration” harks back to Roman times and means “to consecrate by augury.” I’d say that today’s event augurs well for a new birth of decency. What we need is revolution, of course. But today I will settle for decency….

…ive organizing that has led to major shifts in this country. Last week USA Today took a look at changes in Uruguay and across the Americas. From a story by Alan Gomez: Just a couple of years ago, this tiny country that’s squeezed between Brazil and Argentina found itself in the same position as so many of its Latin-American neighbors. Abortion was illegal. Gay marriage was illegal. Marijuana was not tolerated. In two quick years, all that has chan…

Museum of (In)tolerance for Divided City

By Shalom Goldman

…ked to Silvan Shalom, Israel’s foreign minister, that the new museum would promote tolerance “just as building health clubs promoted health.” This was not the first time that the Wiesenthal Center and the LA Museum of Tolerance formulated its own foreign policy; and in doing so implied that they were speaking for the American Jewish community at large. The center endorsed enthusiastically the Bush administration’s Iraq War, and in 2006 it dubbed V…
