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

…difficulty is that it is much easier to talk to an audience than it is to talk to a camera (e.g., cameras don’t laugh at my jokes). The videos were prepared in a studio and the only “audience” was the Dykes Foundation team. I had to ignore them and speak above their heads to the camera. There is also a fatigue factor. Due to the expense of hiring a professional studio, we rolled up our sleeves and did all of The Challenge of Paul in four extended…

Andrew Sullivan Really Took This Opportunity to Misread Intersectionality?

…ries the recent student shut-down of controversial author Charles Murray’s talk at Middlebury College earlier this month. But it was the headline that grabbed our attention: “Is Intersectionality a Religion?” Short answer: no. While Sullivan’s grouchy and dismissive post isn’t likely to knock the earth off its orbit or threaten civilization itself, in the parlance of the day: he just says what other people are thinking. The stakes here are far lar…

The Forgotten Nones: The High Cost of Fleeing Fundamentalist Religion

…ed every day into my twenties. Now I call her maybe every three months and talk to her for less than 30 minutes. I find that talking to her and hearing the language of the Church in all her sentences produces a great deal of anxiety. I talk to my sister even less. Whenever I speak with my mother at any length she tells me I am on the wrong path…Lots of microaggressions that often devolve into crying. My sister has let me know that she’s given up o…

The Circle Can Remain Unbroken, If Battered And Bloody

…peting interests. The only way to hash them out, absent brute force, is to talk, sometimes passionately, even stridently. That of course is not open license for any kind of bile, venom, or poison. The Golden Rule is still a good guideline, I think. On the other hand, I’ll take a barbaric yawp over cold silence any day. There is no margin in pretending that substantial differences do not exist in our society or our politics. Entering into conversat…

The “Southern Cage”: How the Myth of the Redemptive Depression Keeps Blacks at the Margins

…rable. Catholics and Jews did still more, and often also proved readier to talk about the hazards of unfettered capitalism. Many black religious leaders recognized the limits of Jim Crow capitalism, and they further understood that religious charities were often ameliorative rather than corrective. A prominent member of the National Baptist Convention warned in 1931, “The ruthless money-makers are financing our charitable agencies which are caring…

How NOT to Investigate Mitt Romney’s Mormon Ties

…ugust 2007 radio interview Romney did with a Rush Limbaugh-esque political talk jock in Iowa, who, after goading Romney on his faith, turned the subject to Skousen. Romney gamely played along. He told radio host Jan Mickelson that he once took a class from Skousen at Brigham Young University, admitted that had not read much of Skousen, and agreed that Skousen’s The Making of America might be “worth reading.” Murphy zeroes in the exchange in an eff…

Why Pope Francis Makes Me Miss Jerry Falwell

…g “obsessed” with the divisive culture war issues. “It is not necessary to talk about these issues all the time. The dogmatic and moral teachings of the church are not all equivalent. The church’s pastoral ministry cannot be obsessed with the transmission of a disjointed multitude of doctrines to be imposed insistently. “We have to find a new balance,” the pope continued, “otherwise even the moral edifice of the church is likely to fall like a hou…

The Democrats’ Real Religion Problem, And All Of Ours

…d Niebuhr twice appeared on the cover of Time magazine. Why doesn’t anyone talk about Reinhold Niebuhr anymore? Q: Who is the great and only prophet of black liberation in America?

Christianity as American Horror Story in Joyce Carol Oates’ Newest Novel

…y. Instead, voices of characters take over. This is, after all, a novel of talk. And half the talk speaks in a register simplified to mimic the voices—already caricatures, already a kind of minstrelsy—familiar from the Jerry Springer Show. “Of course they lived! They were all alive, in their mother’s wombs. As you were alive, before you were born,” one woman insists, her language contradictory, blunt yet inexact. Young Dawn reflects that “Jesus ha…
