By John Gleim

…unique argumentation—specifically, by making reference to a cave system in South Africa called Sterkfontein. The Sterkfontein cave network is part of an archaeological dig site declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1999. Since the 1930s many early hominid fossils have been uncovered at Sterkfontein, including several complete or nearly complete skeletons.

How to Craft a D.I.Y. Old Testament

By Benjamin Morse

…ists who took Communion at my wedding, and the Bantu Baptists of Mtwaku in South Africa’s Eastern Cape whose faces lit up as we translated an early draft to them. Are you hoping to just inform readers? Give them pleasure? Piss them off? I hope many will find it a useful reference tool—a narrative Who’s Who of ancient Israel. I hope parents and children will engage with it together. And I hope the artwork will inscribe images of the biblical charac…

How 95% of Jewish Israelis Support a ‘Plausible’ Genocide

By Zachary Foster

…act or report can call into question. After all, in his 10-page opinion on South Africa’s genocide case against Israel, Israeli judge Aharon Barak claimed that it was in the “DNA of the Israeli military” to abide by international humanitarian law. In other words, Barak’s argument was not that Israel has not been committing atrocities, his argument was that Israel cannot commit atrocities. It’s a sort of impossibility. There is at least one obvious…

…cy, with the denomination’s numerical strength now in the south – both the southern U.S. and the global south: For decades, liberal Methodists have tried — and failed — to change church rules on homosexuality, and it may prove impossible again at this month’s General Conference. While American Methodists are diverse — both George W. Bush and Hillary Clinton are members — Methodists in Africa tend towards conservative views on sexual ethics, arguin…

How Should We Speak of Unspeakable Evil?

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…necessarily been a happier one—witness the renewed ethno-racial strife in South Africa, a strife brilliantly if brutally anticipated by Nobel Laureate J.M. Coetzee in his novel, Disgrace (1999). So who is responsible, when an entire society is implicated in a crime? Where to turn for reconciliation now, a generation later? I wonder if we might better turn to artists to imagine new and different ways forward. The ancient Greeks portrayed complicat…

By Shaul Magid

…he Uyghurs or Jewish support for civil rights and the boycott of apartheid South Africa in the 1980s. So, yes, the Palestinian Solidarity Movement is the latest symbol of the Left’s ongoing critique of the West, in the tradition of its support for abolition, women’s suffrage, civil rights, an end to the fighting in Vietnam, the dismantling of Apartheid, and BLM. It’s not a movement principally in support of Hamas or of October 7.* It’s a sad irony…

Her Hymnbook Project features pages from old hymnbooks with hand-drawn images overlapping on the pages. Most recently, she has created works based on peace summit she attended in Kenya.

Burying the Future: Youth Violence in Chicago

By Ibrahim Abusharif

…Africans bitterly assert. But it is certainly true that were AIDS only an African disease, however many millions were dying, few outside of Africa would be concerned with it. It would be one of those “natural” events, like famines, which periodically ravage poor, overpopulated countries and about which people in rich countries feel quite helpless. Because it is a world event—that is, because it affects the West—it is regarded as not just a natura…

History in the Making: Religion, Race and Gender in the Presidential Election

By Peter J. Paris

…iding over a new constitution, and becoming the first president of the new South Africa. None of us could have predicted that happening in our lifetime. Nor could any of us have predicted an African American becoming president of the United States in our lifetime. Briefly, I would like to say two things about gender in this presidential campaign. I consider Sarah Palin’s appointment as John McCain’s vice presidential candidate to be a chauvinistic…
