Debating God: Atheist and Evangelical Face Off at Notre Dame

By Nathan Schneider

…r and gave the opening speech. He’s tall, a bit lanky, steady with his eye-contact, and erring on the side of clean-cut. Around here, he’s someone who can get things done and get money out of the administration. Even professors talk about him with a shade of awe. As a freshman he was class president, but then he quit student government for greater things. He also has a visionary streak, and a knack for stringing winged words together into crescend…

Biblical Battered Wife Syndrome: Christian Women and Domestic Violence

By Kathryn Joyce

…teaching is profoundly and dangerously wrong,” says Roberts, who tried to contact Saddleback twice after the teachings were publicized in early January, offering them her book’s findings that 1 Corinthians 7:15—a verse commonly interpreted as applying solely to an unbeliever deserting a believing spouse—provides the biblical grounds for abused wives to consider their union nullified. “The key question is not ‘who walked out’ but ‘who caused the s…

Muslim Voices Festival: A Teahouse, and a Shakespeare Play

By Hussein Rashid

…of the goals of the Muslim Voices Festival: cultures are stronger when in contact with one another. You’ll often hear Muslim say that “Romeo and Juliet” came from the “Layla and Majnun” epic, or “Robinson Crusoe” from “Hayy ibn Yaqzan,” or “Inferno,” from a miraj-namah. While these may be true in a technical sense of antecedents, it misses the larger picture of how we take and adapt from others. It also misses the point of how Muslims have taken…

Nonviolence, Muslim Style: From Ghaffar Khan to Tahrir Square

By Eric Stoner

…ase of Ghaffar Khan’s movement there was the participation of a surprising number of women, given how conservative—and you can even argue misogynist—Pashtun society had been traditionally. They allowed women to participate because he said so and his honor and stature was such that they couldn’t resist. Back in the 1930s and 1940s, women used to lead their marches! This is just incredible. What power and influence he must have had to convince them…

Op-Ed: The Other: Dimensions of Resistance to Obama’s Candidacy

By Michael L. Hays

…nt of the delegates were members of minority groups, and male delegates outnumbered women delegates about two to one. To judge by these numbers, the Republicans still play to an America conceived as predominantly white. Racial prejudice against Obama appears in several ways. One is the denial by racists of their prejudice but their attribution of racism to others—a ploy known as projection. (Pollsters are having a difficult time estimating the ext…

A Religious History of American Neuroscience

By Leigh Eric Schmidt

…e Dalai Lama at hand, as some neuroscientists now do, he did have extended contact with a similarly well-traveled Sinhalese Buddhist monk, Anagarika Dharmapala, with whom he compared notes and devotional habits as he was putting together his own system of meditation for Americans, a practical antidote to American nervousness and the then newly identified disease of neurasthenia. The real payoff for Trine, it should also be said, was not establishe…

Sacred Geography: A Queer Latino Theological Response to Orlando

By Xiomara Verenice Cervantes-Gómez

…de Los Ángeles, the world’s first and only LGBTQ mariachi band. I made eye contact with Natalia Melendez as she sang, “Cucurrucucú Paloma,” a Mexican huapango-style song about love, loss, and pain. Tears began to pour down my face and I said to myself: “My people…” As a theologian, I may not have the words to make sense of these events right now, but I do have the vocabulary to talk about what these spaces mean to queer Latin@s, like myself. An el…

Hajj Journal: Makkah as the Most Romantic City

By Amina Wadud

…g in the shops, or jammed in the tight lines to get food at the local restaurants. Nobody says to women to stay behind, keep out, or keep away. There is so much bodily contact a person could be mistaken for being at one with all humankind, and not a measurement of one’s gender….

Romney: Don’t Expect a Second Speech on Faith

By Joanna Brooks

…the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is studiously avoiding any contact with or comment on the presidential race, continuing instead with its multi-city, multimedia “I’m a Mormon” rebranding campaign. Who’s going to handle Romney’s Mormon issues? Does the campaign need surrogates who can strike back on the religion issue? Or will all of this religion hubbub fade into the background when America comes to terms with the truly sinisterer s…

Keeping the “Southern” in Southern Baptist Convention

By Paul Harvey

…” The “take action” portion of the Commission’s website urges followers to contact Congress on the full panoply of issues that preoccupy the Republican right, representing a virtual scorecard of the Senate Republican leadership’s agenda—including urging support (last summer) for the “cut, cap, and balance” budget proposal put forward by House Republicans, and urging Congress to “stop the EPA power grab” (referring to proposals to limit carbon diox…
