New for Democrats: Non-Personhood for the Non-Rich

By Peter Laarman

…llions of families like the Hartzells out there—the Joads of this ruthless new economy—but there is no evidence at all that anyone in the political class is prepared to give them a seat at the budget negotiation table. In order to torture people, in order to cause them certain pain, you must first obliterate their humanity: you must excise from your consciousness the idea that you have anything in common with them, that you are flesh of their fles…

Does War Make Sense? Science and Religion on the Battlefield

By Nathan Schneider

…to be written that would carry The Cosmic Way of Warfare farther back than Newton. But Newton—an alchemist obsessed with decoding prophecy—hardly spelled a definite break in which the religious transmuted into the scientific. And religious ways of warfare hardly disappeared as scientific ones arose. A fuller cosmology of warfare would embrace both. Religion and science each provide resources for thinking through the chaos of combat. If, as Bousque…

God and the Gay Christian: An Interview with Matthew Vines

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ur identity, whether it’s slave or free, ultimately fades away and we have new dignity, status and value in Christ—so we ended up in that liberating trajectory on the issue of slavery even though the New Testament doesn’t explicitly condemn it. In the very same passage it talks about how male and female is something that doesn’t affect people’s status when we’re baptized in Christ, so I argue that hierarchy and gender in marriage is not intrinsic…

Terminal 5 is a Product of the New Post-9/11 Realities

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…terminal, Terminal 5, has recently been opened at Fiumicino, an antiseptic new structure standing at some considerable remove from the other four terminals I knew. It is linked by shuttle bus, but they come infrequently, and the ride is a long one. Terminal 5 itself seemed empty, institutional, and almost eerily silent. Terminal 5 is a product of the new post-9/11 realities. To be sure, many European airports have long segregated US-bound and Isra…

“1913: Seeds of Conflict”: New Doc Explores Little-Known History of Palestine

By Shaul Magid

…to take root in Palestine. But that same social context also gave rise to new Arab newspapers such as El Carmel and El Palestine, around which coalesced a collective Palestinian identity. These papers openly challenged the Zionist project (not the “Jews”) and warned the Arabic-reading public of an ensuing confrontation. As Rashid Khalidi argues in his book Palestinian Identity (2009) Loeterman suggest that Zionist and Palestinian identity emerge…

Monstrous Futures: Dungeons & Dragons, Harbinger of the “None” Generation, Turns 40

By Robert M. Geraci

…d inaugurate new religious visions. Of the book’s Reformation context, the New York Review of Books’ Marina Warner noted that: [T]he new focus on reading the Bible led to a resurgence of interest in stories of direct divine intervention, and Protestant Europe in the sixteenth century saw a “boom” in compendia of miracles… The Monster Manual is likewise a product of its time, an expression of the secular age. One of its accompanying texts, Deities…

Welcome to the Gayborhood: Jason Brown on This New Era

By The Editors

…from the show’s guests that reveal how their worldview has changed in this new era. In 2013, Jason Brown was a queer student at Biola University, a conservative evangelical college that prohibits “homosexual behavior.” For a time, he co-led an anonymous LGBTQ club called the Biola Queer Underground (now Biolans’ Equal Ground). Back then, Deborah interviewed him for her book Rescuing Jesus: How People of Color, Women and Queer Christians Reclaimed…

…suggestions. After this, other present their own lists. This is completely new – previously there was only a single list that voters could pick from. Advocates of gay marriage have already announced that they will promote their own lists in all dioceses. Opponents have said they will wait until they see the first lists submitted in the spring. Their strategy seems to be to get their people in here, as they have been previously. Poland: First Openl…

Pope: Heterosexual Marriage “Makes Europe Europe”

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…diplomatic description than the simple recitation of facts. The arrival of new diplomats in Vatican City has also birthed a sort of new genre, the formal papal welcome; one that the current Pope has utilized to remind his new partners of just how un-modern, and even anti-modern, their new diplomatic home is. Modernity, after all, is characterized by this Pope as a moment of restless and breathless innovation, in contrast to his conception of the t…
