The Fear is Real: A New View of Halloween “Hell Houses”

By Lucia Hulsether

…ing church? About US religious culture? I don’t pretend to have all of the answers to these questions. However, as I drove home I thought about Joe Bageant, author of Deer Hunting with Jesus, who writes about the political and religious lives of working-class white Americans—i.e. the people make up the majority of Tribulation Trail’s cast and audience. Bageant argues that working-class whites have become a “growing permanent underclass” in a class…

Transitions: Caitlyn Jenner, Gender Identity, and Christians Behaving Badly (Again)

By Daniel Schultz

…e girdle for them. There are always going to be scared, confused, something-less-than-acceptable people needing Jesus. Christians need to learn to deal with such folks, as a matter of justice, and because some day, they might be us. The life of faith, some Christians might argue, is the slow unfolding and recovery of “who we were designed to be,” as Moore says. If that’s the business followers of Jesus are meant to be about, how can we judge trans…

David Carr’s Secret to Honesty: Sin

By Daniel Silliman

…as it. Everybody does it. But the public rhetoric of sin is mostly not self-critical, self-reflexive. It was for Carr, though. He didn’t use the word “sin” specifically, but this was part of his idea of God and essential to how he talked about honesty. As he told Terry Gross in 2011, this was part of his recovery. Knowing his own weakness made it possible for Carr to trust a higher power, to accept help, and hope for something better than what he…

Obama in India: Missed Opportunities

By Anna Bigelow

…nevitably be photographed in a head covering that would without question become the next piece of evidence in the case for his being a crypto-Muslim. One might wish that he would do as Gandhi had done, and maintain a principled resistance to those who criticized his association with Muslim leaders like Abdul Ghaffar Khan—a man whose legacy as a nonviolent activist and peacemaker would serve as a powerful response to young South Asians seeking a mo…

The Sacred and the Dead: Ten Writers on the End of an American Adventure

By The Editors

…ren Haynes Lately I’ve noticed that many of the people I’ve known best face-to-face seem awfully hard to find. Our connection, once burning with possibility and joy, began to cool, as cell phone calls dwindled and numbers eventually changed or were disconnected. As our shared realities drifted apart in their likeness, like Pigpen, I also turned to technologies that promised connection to try to tamp down the yearning and temper that sense of loss….

The Sacred and the Dead: I Love You More than Words Can Tell

By David Vanderveen

…your parents, your Sunday school flannel graphs, and your theologians spoon-feed you. Ultimately, you’ve got to feed it to the flames to get to the thing itself. You have to get on your hands and knees and stop, drop and roll roll roll out of that broke-down palace. The best thing I got from Wheaton was lifelong friends—and finding a place to live in community, doing life, raising our families, becoming more fully ourselves as the years pass. Toge…

Robot Kills a Worker in Germany… Who’s to Blame?

By Hilary Ledwell

…s themselves, rather than user-workers. There is no guarantee that we will come to feel this way or that we must, but it is certainly one possibility. Whether or not we are replaced by robots, chances are, in the coming decades, more and more of us will work beside them. Right now our moral intuitions about robots are not well tuned, and we’re facing new problems that stretch our judgments. All of us, not just prosecutors, will need to start comin…

Why James H. Cone’s Liberation Theology Matters More Than Ever

By Daniel José Camacho

…r rejected Cone—and liberation theologies—as heretical, unbiblical, reverse-racist class-warfare. A Christianity Today piece on Michael Brown suggests that Cone’s gospel is “for hatred, bitterness, [and] unforgiveness.” Even when he is not vehemently repudiated, I believe that Cone is largely misunderstood. One misunderstanding of Cone takes the form of an endorsement. I’ve often heard Cone and other liberationists’ work reduced to the axiom, “all…

Evangelicals Looking for Walker to “Do Nothing” in 2016 Election

By Sarah Posner

…d Kelvin Cochran, the Atlanta fire chief fired after revelations about anti-gay comments he wrote in a book. Congressional Republicans are listening, too; they have introduced the Child Welfare Provider Inclusion Act, which would exempt faith-based providers from having to place children for foster care or adoption with same-sex couples if that conflicts with “their sincerely held religious beliefs or moral convictions.” Given the level of divisio…

New Film Chronicles Unlikely Friendship in Battle Over God and Guns

By Sarah Posner

…t first encounter was charged with trepidation and fear. McBath, a Lutheran-turned-Pentecostal whose family has roots in the civil rights movement, had yet to meet a religious leader who saw gun violence as a spiritual and moral issue and was willing commit to speaking out about it. Schenck, whose organization bills itself as “America’s only Christian outreach to top-level government officials in Washington, DC ,” is a white evangelical with close…
