White Christian Nostalgia Strikes Back

By Daniel Schultz

…u look down at the bottom, in the strip of Sun Belt states from Arizona to Florida, you’ll notice that many of them are much lighter than their northern counterparts. In the lightest of them—Arizona, New Mexico, Texas(!), and Florida—Democrats did much better than anticipated this year. That’s of course due to the rising presence of black and Hispanic voters in those states. But those same voters are significantly more religious than their white c…

…ntial campaign, back when Huckabee was complaining about the others much like he is complaining about Rove now. Huckabee earned a spot as the only GOP presidential prospect to speak to Pastors’ Policy Briefings that Wildmon headlined in early primary states like Iowa, South Carolina, and Florida.

By Bradley Onishi

…ace theory, book bans, dramatic changes to school curricula in places like Florida and Texas and across the South. Is the Doctrine of Discovery at play in these issues? I think it’s at play. And what’s preventing us from seeing it for what it really is is that it remains the blessing of the church on racial violence. That’s a hard thing to see, I think, but I think it’s an important thing to see if we’re not going to repeat those mistakes in the f…

The Failure of Obama’s Faith Strategy Revealed

By Sarah Posner

…as reached out to Mr. Wallis, Mr. Hunter and three other ministers for telephone prayer sessions and discussions about the intersection of religion and public policy. Here’s the corner Obama painted himself into: in a 2008 effort to appeal to evangelicals, he reached out to and surrounded himself with anti-gay, anti-abortion ministers who nonetheless touted their concerns with other issues such as poverty, the economy, and the environment. It’s no…

Why America’s Handmaid’s Tale Doesn’t Look Like Hulu’s

By Christopher Douglas

…aftermath of the 2000 election, the GOP argued to stop recounting votes in Florida; when the Republican-majority Supreme Court agreed, it handed Florida, and the general election, to the born-again George W. Bush. In recent years, the Republican Party has tended not to view election wins by Democratic candidates as conferring legitimacy.

New Jersey Governor Christie has now announced his own far-reaching plans t…

We have no way to independently verify these numbers, so they should be used advisedly. Simply put, the global vision of the NAR is based on their understanding of the Great Commission text of Matthew 28:18-20, with an emphasis on “discipling nations” (28:19). Internatio…
