By Peter Montgomery

…d marriage and the family, and to resist “LGBT” efforts to weaken religious-freedom protections through coercive SOGI (sexual orientation/gender identity) “anti-discrimination” laws.

The Papal Prayer Machine

By Peter Manseau

…r through a new medium added a complicating dynamic to an already difficult-to-define act. Apart from being a technology of instant communication, Twitter is a massive catalogue of otherwise unrelated information. Prayers offered ephemerally—whether spoken aloud in a group, or silently while alone—inevitably mean something quite different when they become quantifiable, static, and searchable by keyword. As the old internet saw goes, if you’re not…

Turn on the News: Some Abortion Opponents May Opt For a New Vaccine, But Behind Their Skepticism it’s Often a Different Story — of Disinformation, Conspiratorial Thinking, and White Nationalism

By Daniel Schultz

…it seems like a pretty cheap tout. Moreover, touting the drug’s fetal-cell-free origins potentially undermines the adoption of rival medications by keeping alive the far-fetched idea that to use them is to be somehow complicit in abortion. That’s a big enough problem these days, but it could be even worse when the next pandemic comes. As someone who helps to organize COVID vaccine clinics, I’d be happy to know that there was a dose available to s…

By Benjamin P. Fagan

…on Earth, but to then apply that faith in black chosenness to a range of on-the-ground struggles for black liberation. So I hope that readers of the book not only come away with a better understanding of the contours of black chosenness, but also with a sense of how that idea has fundamentally shaped the fight for black freedom in the United States. Throughout the book, I also explore how black newspapers used black chosenness to engage with and a…

…ne percent of potential voters, ignited a firestorm of controversy for anti-gay comments he made at a presidential debate on Sunday. Associated Press reports that he said the country needs to stand up against gay people, who should receive psychological help far away from the general population.

How To Talk To “Nones” and Influence People: Rob Bell’s Transrational Experience

By Brook Wilensky-Lanford

…at length a Sunday School class he taught that was based entirely on improv-comedy techniques. He described responding to a woman’s fear of death by enacting an improvised funeral for her, in which she had to lie still and listen to people say nice things to her. All of this was met with enthusiastic if sometimes bemused support from Bell. Still thinking about Bell’s audience a couple weeks later when I spoke to him, I asked him about all those gr…

…aped to govern them—not only to abortion, but also to the practice of force-feeding prison inmates who choose to protest via hunger strike. Why is it important to see the connections among these different movements? Have these comparisons gotten you into trouble?

Faith for Fuck-Ups? A New Book Explores a Broader Vision for Christianity

By Jason J. Stellman

…assumptions about the gospel are way more likely to have given rise to the New Testament texts than a set of Protestant ones. But in the end, it still smacked of argumentation, and it didn’t really fit the tone of the rest of the book. What are some of the biggest misconceptions about your topic? When it comes to God, so many of us were raised with this idea of God as a creator and eventual judge. We have the whole line about how “God made man and…

By Laurie Patton

…the Council of Nicaea determined the extent of the canonical books of the New Testament. In the eighth century, the third caliph of Islam, Uthman, was in charge of collecting the Qur’an and decreed that any Qur’anic texts with wording that did not conform to the collected verses of the Qur’an be burned. In the twentieth century, ultra-orthodox rabbis burned the revised prayer book written by conservative rabbi Modecai Kaplan. Finally, book burnin…
