It’s Not the Name It’s the Theocratic Vision — THE NEW APOSTOLIC REFORMATION’S PR PROBLEM

By Frederick Clarkson

…and “charisfanatics.” As with their published “statements” it’s not entirely clear exactly who or what the speakers are referring to, though they’re most likely referring to those they had previously called out (to no avail) for false Donald Trump prophecies, embrace of the Big Lie, and participation in the J6 insurrection. It is fair to say, however, that while the systematic Reformed theologies they lean into are far less flamboyant and acceler…

The Story of a Post-Holocaust Group Seeking Revenge Against Nazis is Part of the Story of Israel Itself

By Shane Burley

…hopefully reaching a death toll of six million, while Plan B was to kill only acutely guilty SS soldiers, numbering in the thousands. As Kovner met with Yishuv leaders it was clear that while there may have been sympathy with Plan A, only Plan B would receive the support of even the angriest of Palestine’s Jewish community. Plan B’s support came from leadership of the Haganah, the fighting force that would eventually lead the 1948 war. The Yishuv,…

Decadence, Sickness, and Death: Mourning and the Israel-Hamas War

By Shaul Magid

…gile and precarious. What is “Jewish”? And “democratic” for everyone, equally—really? And so it went. But the dam mostly held. Until earlier this year when a newly energized far-right government decided to fortify its power by weakening its great liberal challenge, the Supreme Court. And the country exploded. The breach of the population’s trust in its government, the settler narrative becoming the narrative of the country, and many Israelis simpl…

Mike Johnson’s Porn-Monitoring isn’t Just ‘Creepy’ — it’s a Window to the Fascist Desire Driving the White Evangelical Will to Power

By Jessica Johnson

…mpelled to give birth, we need to consider his biblical worldview as not only ideologically constructed and practiced, but bodily inscribed and reiterated. The libidinal economy and fascist desire that drives White evangelical men like Johnson to presume that divine providence guides their every word and deed, both at home and in government, is cultivated through their everyday relationships to porn, sex, masculinity, technology, and women. Men in…

Why Virginia Governor’s ‘God is Everywhere’ Statement isn’t a Simple Answer to Those Who Want to Worship Together

By Karen E. Park

…the term “practicing evangelical” because evangelicalism isn’t fundamentally something one practices, but something one commits to personally and feels. As long as you have your Bible—and thanks to BibleGateway we all do—church itself, while important, is ultimately optional. It’s a place to pray and sing, a place to be seen, a place to meet friends, a place to feel good about oneself; but being there in person isn’t essential. What matters is on…

‘Hey Jesus, Do You Love Me the Same?’: Out Christian Rock Star Trey Pearson on Closeted Industry Figures, His Evolving Faith, and Brand New Video

By Chrissy Stroop

…s wrong with us. Everything about the video for “Hey Jesus” is so beautifully and powerfully done. I’ve watched it several times now, and I still can’t help crying pretty much from beginning to end. Can you tell us a little about the thinking and the process that went into it? Who directed it, how did you choose the cast, and so forth? What audience, or audiences, do you hope to reach with this? And what message do you want them to take away? Than…

Trump’s Lawsuit Amounts to ‘a Tweet With a Filing Fee,’ But That’s Not the Whole Strategy

By Andrew L. Seidel

…s—not until every vote’s been counted. And, of course, the delays are largely because state legislatures, usually when Republican controlled, passed laws that don’t allow mail-in ballots to be counted until Election Day. But Trump’s—and America’s—reality show mindset is partially why we’re here. We’re seeing the counts change in real time. Margins disappearing or growing with each refresh. In a tweet appropriately flagged as containing misleading…

…oui said, “Tunisian police are homophobic. They did not help me one single bit mentally, or physically. They are just homophobic. (there was) No support.” As Sboui was talking, she was accompanying her lawyer to the police station in an effort to secure some form of action against her alleged attackers.

Two Former Nuns Get Civil Union in Italy; Kenyan Govt Partners with World Congress of Families; Mexican Activists Debate Outing of Priests; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…16. “This is the day for us a church to be able to stand strong particularly for family protections,” he said. “I think that people have tried to wrongfully paint this as people trying to dictate what’s happening in the bedroom. For us it’s not about that at all, it’s about protecting the children.” Orozco specifically criticized the National Evangelical Association of Belize in his speech at an event the U.N. LGBT Core Group, which includes more…

On the 40th Anniversary of Hyde, A Theological Defense of Reproductive Justice

By Anita Little

…narratives have now become so pervasive that even in spaces where it’s mostly black folks or mostly poor folks, you’ll still hear that as a response. You’ve mentioned earlier that many politicians—even those that tout themselves as progressive—will support the legal right to an abortion, while denying poor women access to the procedure. How do you feel this hypocrisy represents the intersection of sexism, racism and classism? The Hyde Amendment an…
