Is There Hope for a Truly Progressive Evangelicalism? An Interview with Deborah Jian Lee

By Eric C. Miller

…nd protests against police brutality. Rescuing Jesus follows the conformist-skeptic-radical arc because over the course of all of my interviews, this was the most common trajectory most of progressive evangelicals had followed. I thought it was important to show this in intimate detail because it helps answer important questions. What are the greatest obstacles in disentangling from the Religious Right? How do people change? What are the consequen…

6 Overlooked Takeaways From a Reviewer of Controversial Texas Textbooks

By David R. Brockman

…history as a whole, it would be difficult to argue that it has had one-and-a-half times the impact of Islam, or more than twice the impact of Hinduism, or nearly five times that of Buddhism. Nevertheless, that is what the TEKS imply. Christianity is also the only religion for which the TEKS require a discussion of its major divisions (Catholicism, Orthodoxy, Protestantism). The TEKS do not require equivalent coverage of the major divisions in Bud…

Dreaming Cyborg Dreams: Virtual Identity and Religious Experience

By Rachel Wagner

…al worlds afford the opportunity to overcome our cultural differences in a new community, formed of people from different cultures and with different beliefs (New World Notes). The opportunity to explore new religious “territory” is aptly seen in the case of the Muslim woman who attended synagogue in Second Life because she had been curious about Judaism but felt too self-conscious to attend a real-life temple service. The woman chose to wear her…

New History Finally Recognizes Afro-Creole Spiritualists

By Paul Harvey

…y and then François “Petit” Dubuclet. Petit handed the records onto his son-in-law René Grandjean, a French émigré and Spiritualist himself. Grandjean later donated the records to the special collections at the University of New Orleans. Grandjean was an amateur historian and acted akin to the Cercle Harmonique’s first archivist. He organized the séance records, made notes in them based on conversations with his father-in-law, and translated a ver…

Watching Man of Steel in Istanbul

By Haroon Moghul

…hese were more religious Turks—expressed some level of sympathy for the protests and protesters, a desire for deeper democratization and the need for healthy opposition. This was not ‘Islam’ v. ‘secularism’ or anything so silly. If anything, in fact, is silly, it is how we have tried to force Turkey’s Gezi Park protests into the Arab Spring. (Imagine the average American in Superman’s spandex.) Indeed Gezi Park’s a cause for celebration: thousands…

Dialogue or Demonization? Where Gays are Concerned, Focus on the Family Wants it Both Ways

By Cody J. Sanders

…authoritative religious texts. We must speak with other human beings, face-to-face, willing to listen with rapt attention. We must commit ourselves to speaking about our views and about those who hold different views in ways that do not employ transcendent trump cards. And we must hold the life of the other with a greater sense of sacredness than we hold our ever-shifting perspectives and opinions. Dialogue is, after all, not just about increasin…

The Resurgence of Right-Wing Anti-Semitic Conspiracism Endangers All Justice Movements

By Ben Lorber

…undational animating myth of German fascism, a movement that enshrined anti-Communism as a central organizing principle. While the horrors of the Holocaust seemed to banish anti-Semitism from the public sphere in the United States, the logic behind “Judeo-Bolshevism” quickly came to animate Cold War anti-Communist frenzy. A 1948 survey by the American Jewish Committee found that nearly half of Americans associated Jews with Soviet spying, while 21…

Does Multiverse Theory Bring Theology Into Science?

By Andrew Aghapour

…between science and religion. RD spoke with Rubenstein recently about her new book. What initially inspired you to write Worlds Without End? Five or six years ago, I was clamoring to find something to write for a conference on energy, a topic about which I knew nothing at all. One morning, I came across a feature in the New York Times Magazine on “dark energy”: the negative pressure that’s accelerating the expansion of the universe, causing galax…

Does Analytic Thinking Erode Religious Belief?

By Andrew Aghapour

…ely. A Trio of Wacky Experiments Take, for example, the latest Neuroscience-of-Religion news item to make the rounds, this one claiming that critical thinking undermines religious belief. Based on two studies from The Journal of Experimental Psychologies and Science, it has been picked up by The Atlantic, The Huffington Post, and (unsurprisingly) RichardDawkins.net. In the Scientific American article that activated the echo chamber, Daisy Grewal c…

US Offers Help For Investigation of Bangladesh Killings

By Peter Montgomery

…are against Islam. The LGBT activists’ deaths bring to nine the number of high-profile people hacked to death in Bangladesh in 2016. As the list expands, so do the reasons individuals are targeted — from religious beliefs, to blogging and organizing a movement against radical political groups, to engaging in cultural activities, and now LGBT activism. HRW says the police are implicated in anti-LGBT persecution: The National Human Rights Commissio…
