The Problem With An Evangelical Petition Calling White Nationalism ‘Heresy’

By Daniel Schultz

…elf-identifies as “the Lord their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt,” so much so that Walter Brueggemann argues that it’s practically a synecdoche. This God isn’t jealous simply for the sake of jealousy, though. He’s jealous because he wants the Israelites to remember who liberated them from slavery, and it wasn’t that dumb (as in dumb) golden calf. There’s only one God responsible for liberation, and that’s God, not a statue of Donal…

What Passover Taught Me About Being Black

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…ed, however, Passover became further removed from my annual celebration of freedom from Egyptian slavery and the hope for the end of American bondage to debates over whether, as a non-Ashkenazi Jew, I should eat rice or not during the holiday and scavenger hunts for Kosher for Passover Coca-Cola. My conversion created a tension between my Black self and my Jewish self, and in the words of W.E.B. Du Bois, there were “two souls, two thoughts, two un…

A Devil’s Dozen of the Best ‘New Religion Journalism’ Books of the Decade

Evangelicalism “Wasn’t Created for Someone Like Me”: Following a Queer Evangelical of Color in the Age of Trump

By Deborah Jian Lee

…meless, and I think I’m embracing that. I think a lot about Exodus—leaving Egypt and wandering in the wilderness. There is no temple to worship, but we have God’s manna at our fingertips, and a cloud to guide us by day and shelter us by night. The presence of God is visible and tangible—it’s comfort ever needed and felt. Sometimes you find an oasis, like The Reformation Project, but I’m in the wilderness for now, and I’m learning about God’s faith…

The Children of Bellow and Roth: New Book of Short Fiction Takes On the Male Jewish Experience

By Stephanie Russell-Kraft

…story. It’s relatively easy to ship from the United States to El Arish in Egypt, which is twenty miles or so from Gaza. For example, it’s fairly common to rent out part of a shipping container. The tricky part is getting anything into Gaza. The most straightforward way seemed to be overland from El Arish through the Rafa checkpoint. But I was researching and writing the story during the Israeli incursion of 2014, when nothing was getting into Gaz…

Betrayed at the Polls, Evangelicals of Color at a Crossroads

By Deborah Jian Lee

…t just perpetuate xenophobic evangelical culture. He rarely brought up his Egyptian heritage or the fact that he spoke Arabic, and he distanced himself from Egypt’s Muslim-majority population by going “out of my way to make sure people knew I was a Christian.” George acknowledges that he has been “complicit in every aspect of the (white evangelical) system.” “I was working on a book that was marketed toward evangelicals and I’m no longer doing tha…

New Study: Islamophobia Common in Catholic Media

By Jordan Denari Duffner

…that, while the book was originally published in 2003, it continues to be promoted as “an essential resource” as its publisher, Ascension Press, noted in an email today. As documented in the Bridge Initiative report, Spencer has written for numerous Catholic news outlets, and he has been cited as an expert in others. While some of these are fringe websites, like Church Militant, others are more mainstream, like Our Sunday Visitor, one of the most…

The Book of Diana: Wonder Woman as Theological Text

By Yazmine Nichols

…likely heroes: Moses is a genealogical hybrid of sorts who ends up fleeing Egypt; and Rahab is a prostitute who helps save Israel. Jesus himself chooses ordinary men to be his disciples, including a tax collector. When Diana/Wonder Woman finally fights and kills General Ludendorff it seems that victory has been won, but to her surprise, the war does not end. The war’s continuation defies Diana’s central belief: that Ludendorff is none other than A…

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

By Peter Laarman

…that he was already one as a Pharisaic Jew (like other Jewish celibates in Egypt and Qumran) before he ever became a Messianic/Christian Jew. Bad theology can interpret celibacy to mean that sex is evil (but, of course, if it is evil or depraved, what virtue is there in abstaining from it?). Paul intended his celibacy to offer personal witness that what civilization treats as “normal” (sex, marriage, children) is not an inevitability of human natu…

Keep Jews Interesting: It’s Time to Stop Being Defined by Anti-Semitism

By Shaul Magid

…want to deny Jews the right of self-determination or because they want to promote Palestinians’ right of self-determination. The British historian Arthur Toynbee, himself quite an anti-Semite, once said that history is “just one bloody thing after another.” It seems, from reading books like Weiss’s, that Jewish history is “just one bloody anti-Semitic thing after another.” The truth is, this is not of her own making. A whole school of Jewish hist…
