Reexamining the Shaky Theology That Gives Humans ‘Dominion’ Over All Creation

By Timothy Beal

…d it as a noun, as the Greek and Latin translations did, then you take the bet as a preposition, “in,” and you get a simple declarative sentence familiar from the King James Version translation: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” Full stop. What follows, “And the earth was without form, and void,” then describes the unformed, chaotic (tohu vabohu) earth that God just created from nothing. Taken this way, then, we imagine an a…

“Muslim Gospel” Revealing the “Christian Truth” Excites the Da Vinci Code Set

By Annette Yoshiko Reed

…at each stage it introduces a twist. In the Barnabas, for instance, Judas’ betrayal of Jesus to the Romans prompts God to save Jesus by removing him to heaven and to condemn Judas by changing his face so that it was the betrayer who suffered arrest and indignity: Judas entered impetuously before all into the chamber whence Jesus had been taken up. And the disciples were sleeping. Whereupon the wonderful God acted wonderfully, insomuch that Judas w…

Like the Bible? You’ll Love a ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ T-shirt — How AI Marketing Shapes Identity

By Lauren Horn Griffin

…interests, for some this incident revealed that the people controlling the code have a lot of power. If one thinks that marketing agents put “Bible” in the code, then they might think of them as predatory, or presumptuous about U.S. Christians and their political affiliations. They might become angry that companies have such power in shaping the public’s perception of Christianity and, indeed, in shaping Christians’ own ideas about their communiti…

…abstractly; i.e. apart from a larger context that gives them meaning. For better or worse—and, to be clear, sometimes it is for the better, sometimes for the worse—a set of largely unwritten assumptions guides how, when, and in what manner to express or not express these rights. It’s when the code that translates these rights for us somehow ceases to function properly in the background that problems result. I want to suggest that often when probl…

Brownback Nomination Further Evidence That “Religious Freedom” Is Code For “Conservative Christian Supremacy”

By Sunnivie Brydum

…cording to the Topeka Capital-Journal. That law, which made no distinction between private agencies and those that serve the public and receive taxpayer funds, was a precursor to the targeted bills authored in other states declaring, for instance, that child welfare agencies contracting with the state can refuse to place children with prospective parents who don’t ascribe to the agency’s particular faith doctrine. In 2016, he signed a law that all…

Why the World Needs Religious Studies

By Nathan Schneider

…alking about the rest of us.) As far as students go, they need to practice noticing and talking about the skills and habits they’re getting in religious studies. They’ll have to articulate these things to their parents and prospective employers. I bet they can do it better than I have. When they do, they’ll be a lot more ready to take over the world, and that will be a good thing. This essay is based on a talk given to Brown University undergradua…

By Haroon Moghul

…s, lemons, limes, and cotton, Muslims also introduced… pasta. Yeah, pasta. Bet you didn’t see that one coming. Given the connection between pasta, pizza and sex, that’s a major You’re Welcome. I mean, can you imagine Italian food without pasta? Can you imagine America without Italian food? Yes, Lindsey Graham, unfortunately it’s true. Even Al Capone was our fault. Or Al-Capone, at least, who may or may not have been the same person. We lost track…

…in Florida and used to witness to people on the beach. Kumrits was born in Paraguay to missionary parents and once believed that if you weren’t washed in the blood of Christ, you were going to hell. The two 28-year-olds talk about who they once were like it was a long time and a different life, even though it was only two years ago. I met Kumrits and Jones at Orange Beach, Alabama, where they have been working as clean up workers. Two weeks earlie…

By Daniel Schultz

…Fulgencio Batista of Cuba, Ernesto Geisel of Brazil, Alfredo Stroessner of Paraguay, and Augusto Pinochet of Chile, whom Graham praised as a “great Christian leader.” Graham wasn’t the only American preacher to wage an anti-communist spiritual fight abroad. During the Cold War, the US viewed the Latin American Catholics’ Left turn after Vatican II as a threat. The backlash included CIA covert operations and the funding of conservative alternatives…

Polygamy, Genius, and the Origin of Religion

By Michael Schulson

…an creature thrive in the streets of 21stcentury Tokyo, 19th century rural Paraguay, and Paleolithic southwest France? Do you understand human nature by finding fixed laws? Or do you grasp it by understanding the rules of humankind’s incredible un-fixedness? Shortly after finishing Barash’s book, I read a new essay by the photography critic Teju Cole. Reviewing photographer Steve McCurry’s new collection of photos of India, Cole makes a distinctio…
