I Agree: Critical Race Theory is Indeed Incompatible With Southern Baptist Convention’s ‘Faith and Message’

By Miguel A. De La Torre

…ing in houses constructed through the enslavement of Black bodies, located within an empire carved out of the cheap labor and natural resources stolen from the Global South, future seminarians at these six institutions can continue, without any pangs of conscience, to lift their eyes to the heavens in thanksgiving to their white God, who richly blessed them according to the loving mercies God holds for “his” chosen. But woe unto us who lack faithf…

“Godly Or Bad?”: The Return of Ted Haggard

By J. Terry Todd

…und Ted at the nadir of his professional life, moving between cheap motels with his wife Gayle and two of their five children as he went door-to-door, selling life insurance to strangers. From the pinnacle of evangelical leadership to this? Pelosi later told an interviewer that the story of Haggard’s exile was too compelling in its complexity to pass up. How the mighty had fallen! She brought along her camera, and the Trials of Ted Haggard was bor…

In Hamline Case, the ‘Free Expression vs. Religious Sensibilities’ Frame Obscures a Stark Reality About Higher Education

By Junaid Jahangir

…n. And so, another example of a corporation indulging in PR damage control will be widely perceived as appeasement of an “intransigent” community. Additionally, the university’s tactic reduces all Muslims to a stereotypical hardcore Salafi or Wahabi iconoclast. Such an unfortunate framing of Muslims, however, ignores the fact that many images of the Prophet have been patronized or revered by Sunni and Shia Muslims alike as evident from Ottoman and…

Why Taxing the Rich is the Godly Thing

By Peter Laarman

…ting for him again, and voting for Democrats this fall. One little problem with this scenario: Obama has surrounded himself with once-and-future high-income individuals who are themselves highly susceptible to supply-side dogma that says the rich must be curtsied to and coddled if the nation is to prosper. We should note that this is how savage inequality maintains its vampirish lease on American life: by replicating itself within the bloodstream…

By Paul Harvey

…wentieth century. The numbers document the stunning capacity of the ABS to flood the zone with Scriptures. Through the book, the ABS accomplished exactly that on the western frontier in the early nineteenth century, Union soldiers’ camps during the Civil War, the Levant in the early twentieth century, Japan after World War Two, and with contemporary translations such as the Good News Bible in the 1970s. The tonnage is so impressive that recent lea…

Build the Muslim Community Center at Ground Zero

By Donna Schaper

…horror, but without the mandate for burial. I personally saw a finger on a windowsill in Tribeca. I will never forget it. Terrible violence yields terrible memories. Murder, especially murder by sudden terror and violence, has a long reach into a person’s future. A community center on the site of the bombing would create another picture of another kind of future, one with respect and hope at its heart. What about forgiveness? It can be such a chea…

70th National Prayer Breakfast Made ‘Cosmetic’ Changes, But Biden Delivered the Same Old Tone-Deaf ‘Unity’ Message

By Chrissy Stroop

…strong segregationists” still present would “argue like hell on the Senate floor” with liberals before the erstwhile antagonists would go to lunch together as friends. This anecdote was apparently intended to demonstrate that comity with racial supremacists is an example of “loving one’s neighbor” worth emulating. For my part, I’m a firm believer that some tents are too big. President Biden seems to think he can heal America by simply asking peopl…

The Social Science Animal: Brooks Argues for Emotion over Reason

By Beatrice Marovich

…very destiny and life journey of his human reader. “To live is the trade I will teach him,” Rousseau baldly proclaimed. “On leaving my hands,” he continued, “he will be a man; and all that a man ought to be.” For centuries, Émile has been counted among the greatest tomes of the humanist tradition; a school of thought that purports to describe human nature, not scientifically but philosophically. Contemporary readers, however (in a scientific and m…

Is the Satanic Temple Just an Elaborate Prank? 10 Questions for the Author of ‘Speak of the Devil’

By Joseph Laycock

…n. Is there anything else you’d like our readers to know about your book? If you buy the book, cut out the correct pages using the Fibonacci sequence, and lay them out on the floor in the shape of a pentagram, it will reveal a secret code allowing you to join the ranks of Illuminati and obtain untold riches and power. This is a very complicated procedure and you may have to buy several copies to get it right….
