By Shannon Trosper Schorey

…lds that Wired co-founder Kevin Kelly predicts for our near future. In his new book, The Inevitable, Kelly argues that these and other technological changes are inevitable, although he’s careful to name the technological forces guiding these changes as “trajectories, not destinies.” Kelly’s goal is to discover the essences at the heart of our technologies by asking what the technologies themselves want. If we can determine what the technology want…

By Willie James Jennings

…pecially Christians in America, want to be freed from our demons. The late New Testament scholar Walter Wink defined the demonic as an array of human and supra-human forces aligned to destroy life.

Wink’s expansive way of writing about the demonic sought to capture the dynamic interplay of our being oppressed by evil and our making ourselves tools for…

Holy Father, You’re Not Helping: The Problem with the Pope’s Plan to Consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

By Katherine Kelaidis

…the prophecy that Russia will be “converted” in the light of the now nearly-thousand years of tension (and sometimes open warfare) between Western and Eastern Christendom, a history that’s frequently seen the Catholic Church operate in the role of aggressor or opportunist. This history begins roughly in 1054, the formal break in communion between the Latin Western Christian Church, headed by the Roman papacy, and the four historical patriarchates…

By Nathan Schneider

…ryn Lofton has helped to forge. This summer, Billy and Savitri published a new book, edited by Columbia University journalism professor Alisa Solomon—The Reverend Billy Project: From Rehearsal Hall to Super Mall with the Church of Life After Shopping. In it, they reflect on their theatrics, activism, where it all came from, and what it might mean. The book also gives us an opportunity to put the two of them in conversation with Lofton here. Let’s…

RDBook: Selling the Good News

By Sarah Posner

…invocation at his inaugural ceremony, or who see Jakes and Osteen as power-of-positive-thinking con artists, are not the target audience for this book. At the outset, Lee and Sinitiere explicitly dismiss critics of the religious right and of proof-texting-for-positive-living as missing the story behind why these evangelists are so wildly popular. “Analysts’ grinding focus on narrow, destructive dimensions of evangelicalism may, ironically, unveil…

Another “Hot Text” For the War on Women: Rosemary’s Baby

By Mary Valle

…f Catholics being prime targets for satanists looking for “not virgin” Moms-of-Satan, what do you make of this? I think it offered a way for both Levin and Polanski to talk about a post-Christian society. We see that in the effective use of the famous [1966] “God is Dead” Time cover in the doctor’s office, also, I think in the idea of Adrian’s birth being the beginning of a new age. This was a time period when Harvey Cox wrote The Secular City and…

Why We Won’t Let Jonestown (Or 9/11 or Sandy Hook) Die

By Kelsey Osgood

…f 2005. Fondakowski, best known for penning the highly regarded play-turned-HBO-movie The Laramie Project, told the New York Times that although she’d been hoping to avoid “dark, depressing subject matter” after writing about the murder of Matthew Shepard, she was drawn into the Jonestown vortex after David Dower of the Z Space Theater encouraged her to explore the tragedy. Fondakowski and her creative team began the project in 2002 and spent the…

The Roots of Violence in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam

By Bruce Chilton

…braham’s curse has been with us since the Stone Age, and can only been overcome by self-criticism, not by new versions of the blame game. Did you have a specific audience in mind when writing? Experience has shown me that many people enjoy reflecting on the significance of religion on the basis of clear evidence. It gives me pleasure to write for them. Are you hoping to just inform readers? Give them pleasure? Piss them off? In this case, insight…

Addressing the Culture War Without Touching the Culture War

By Daniel Steinmetz-Jenkins

…question is no longer the exclusion of religion from the public sphere, but to what degree it should be a part of the conversation. Reading Marsden’s latest book, however, one wonders whether he and his circle have yet to catch up….

The Book of Diana: Wonder Woman as Theological Text

By Yazmine Nichols

…ot result in an armistice indicates the pervasiveness of what I call “human-induced suffering.” Human-induced suffering is an important part of the theodicy problem, because it reveals to us what is almost counter-intuitive: neither God nor the devil is wholly responsible for the destruction that human beings wreak upon one another. Not to give too much away for stragglers who may not have seen it yet, but another character reveals himself as Ares…
