Emanuel’s Pulse: A Plea for Black Church–LGBTIQ Solidarity

…ss than the study—and therefore the practice and celebration—of emergent, experimental, expansive, ecumenical, unfinished socialities. That is what black church is. That is Emanuel. And it is Pulse. It’s why one killer attacked Emanuel and another attacked Pulse. They jointly targeted Emanuel’s Pulse. They tried to stop the heartbeat, stay the hope, preempt the practice of emergent non-exclusionary life together, halt the “undercommons,” stop the…

Poets and Preachers: How Black Literature Blurs the Lines Between Sacred and Secular

…y proud to say that the artwork for the cover was a collaboration between Oxford’s design team and my wife, who used charcoal on paper to make the image onto which [Oxford University Press] placed the book’s title. Is there a book out there you wish you had written? Which one? Why? I just finished writing a review of The Fire This Time, edited by Jesmyn Ward, for the website Public Books.

Dehumanizing Huckabee Tweet Another Echo of Dangerous Tribalism

…S-13 and conflate them with a larger group, such as migrants coming from Mexico and other parts of Central and South America. This is part of a larger degeneration of our public sphere into tribal epistemology, as David Roberts outlined at Vox in a column last month. “Information is evaluated based not on conformity to common standards of evidence or correspondence to a common understanding of the world, but on whether it supports the tribe’s valu…

How Biblical ‘Chosenness’ Has Justified Violence, Misogyny, and Anti-Immigrant Sentiment

…DS students flocked to Coogan’s course: He throws brilliant light on complex and often contradictory Bible texts while reminding us that how these documents appear in their final form always reflects the exercise of social and political power. The unchanging and inerrant Word of God? Not so much. More like propaganda for the winners in bitter internecine power struggles. In this respect, they’re not much different from canonical works produced wit…

But ‘Natural’ is Better, No? ‘How Faith in Nature’s Goodness Leads to Harmful Fads, Unjust Laws, and Flawed Science’

…understanding of good and evil, and naturalness provides that broader context for explaining evil. Does that make naturalness a secular theodicy for making sense of COVID-19? Theodicy is definitely one way to think about the idea of Nature as a harmonious cosmic system—then, when something like coronavirus happens, we can explain it as a violation by humans of that cosmic harmony. We went against Nature, and therefore evil happens. We’re punished…

New Patriarch, Same Patriarchy: Despite Glowing Praise For New SBC President, There’s Just One Problem

…d and to serve as his helper in managing the household and nurturing the next generation.” Just what exactly the dynamic of equals participating in a leader-helper relational dynamic looks like, however, remains unclear. While SBC pastor Dave Miller has exhorted that “complementarians do not endorse patriarchal, paternalistic attitudes that degrade women,” former SBC Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission president Russell Moore has famously atte…

Who’s ‘Really’ Jewish: the Sefardi Floridian, the Ashkenazi Californian, or the New York Jew By Choice? ‘Authenticity’ is a Trap

…ame?” The authenticity trap encourages myopia and ducks the inherent complexity and re-mixings found throughout Jewish history. It serves to bolster the identity of the few at the cost of belonging for so many others; and while it plays into the insecurities of modern American Judaism, it does so at the expense of seeing a Judaism that is more than a selective retrospective gaze. When examining the retrospective focus of many Jewish institutions o…

RDBook: Technology and Tradition: Carlson’s Indiscrete Image

…o bioethicist Leon Kass and environmentalist writer Bill McKibben are his examples—who assume the existence of an ideal state of nature. But recognizing ourselves as the “indiscrete image” of God means that no fixed ideal—or idol—for what we are and what we aren’t will suffice. We, like all creation, are made to continually remake ourselves. To spell out what he means, Carlson juxtaposes contemporary technology theorists, like N. Katherine Hayles…
