Evangelicalism “Wasn’t Created for Someone Like Me”: Following a Queer Evangelical of Color in the Age of Trump

By Deborah Jian Lee

…meless, and I think I’m embracing that. I think a lot about Exodus—leaving Egypt and wandering in the wilderness. There is no temple to worship, but we have God’s manna at our fingertips, and a cloud to guide us by day and shelter us by night. The presence of God is visible and tangible—it’s comfort ever needed and felt. Sometimes you find an oasis, like The Reformation Project, but I’m in the wilderness for now, and I’m learning about God’s faith…

‘Do You Want Columbia to be Cursed by God?’ — Alarming Exchanges in Congress and Beyond Highlight the Desperate Need for Religious Literacy

By Chance Bonar

…she wants God to curse Columbia, Shafik (who was born to Muslim parents in Egypt, but grew up in the US) responds “definitely not.” Allen’s statement and Shafik’s response exemplify the abysmal state of religious literacy in the United States, even as biblical texts and religious identities are at the center of current debates over US-Israel policy and campus protest culture. Allen egregiously misquotes Genesis 12:3 by retrojecting “Israel”—a name…

Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s Lurid Picture of Nigeria’s Muslims in Newsweek

By Patrick J. Ryan, S.J.

…Christian minorities in Muslim-majority countries like Pakistan, Iraq, and Egypt over recent months and years, but not every part of the world where Muslims and Christians live together is the same. I have lived in West Africa for nearly three decades and in Nigeria for eleven of those years. Hirsi Ali, who has no particular expertise on Nigeria, has painted too lurid a picture of the current Christian-Muslim tensions in that vast country, …

Inventing Jesus: An Interview with Bart Ehrman

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ows that the mythicists who claim that Jesus was made up 30 years later in Egypt, or some other claim—that simply can’t be right. We have evidence of people telling stories about Jesus in Palestine within a year or two of the traditional date of his death. What kind of evidence to the mythicists bring to table to disprove Jesus’ existence? They have both negative and positive arguments. The negative arguments are such things as the fact that there…

The Children of Bellow and Roth: New Book of Short Fiction Takes On the Male Jewish Experience

By Stephanie Russell-Kraft

…story. It’s relatively easy to ship from the United States to El Arish in Egypt, which is twenty miles or so from Gaza. For example, it’s fairly common to rent out part of a shipping container. The tricky part is getting anything into Gaza. The most straightforward way seemed to be overland from El Arish through the Rafa checkpoint. But I was researching and writing the story during the Israeli incursion of 2014, when nothing was getting into Gaz…

Paul for the People: John Dominic Crossan Imagines a “Letter to the Americans” In His New Video Series

By Peter Laarman

…that he was already one as a Pharisaic Jew (like other Jewish celibates in Egypt and Qumran) before he ever became a Messianic/Christian Jew. Bad theology can interpret celibacy to mean that sex is evil (but, of course, if it is evil or depraved, what virtue is there in abstaining from it?). Paul intended his celibacy to offer personal witness that what civilization treats as “normal” (sex, marriage, children) is not an inevitability of human natu…

The War On Terror Is Over

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…s the enemy of Islam because of its support of undemocratic dictators like Egypt’s Mubarak and the Saud family monarchy in Saudi Arabia, its invasion and occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq, and for its one-sided support for Israel without equal concern for the rights of Palestine. When I interviewed one of the Muslim activists involved in bombing the World Trade Center in 1993, he told me that he liked America. It was easy for him to be a Muslim i…

Why Christians Should Have a Passover Seder: A Rabbi Responds

By Evan Moffic

…ritual meal recounting God’s freeing of the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt. For Christians it recalls Jesus’ Last Supper. It also reminds Christians of Jesus’ Jewish practices. Some Christians and Jews believe Church seders are inappropriate. They say it distorts the Jewishness of the Passover holiday. In RD earlier this week, Rebecca Cynamon-Murphy argued that it “does unwitting harm” by treating contemporary Jews as “relics rather than peo…
