Religion or Ethics at the Supreme Court?

By Daniel Schultz

…tephen Prothero want to use the placemarker of religion. We can’t actually talk about the values justices are supposed to have but can’t disclose, so we have to use the next best thing, which turns out to be just another tap dance— because everybody but the crazies know that it’s perfectly possible to have values without believing in God. But everybody wants to keep the crazy people happy, lest we have an honest discussion about abortion and the g…

The Other Mormon Candidate

By Anthea Butler

…ot of questions about California’s Proposition 8. For him, it is easier to talk about these subjects as a political candidate than as a person of faith. His rationale is that by telling something about being LDS, it helps him on the campaign trail because it is very much a part of the Western story, especially in Wyoming, where Mormons trekked through on the way to what would become Utah. Henrichsen’s run also highlights an aspect of Mormon cultur…

Should We Empathize with Josh Duggar?

By Chrissy Stroop

…urse, ultimately noble. And for my own part, I have always been put off by talk show segments revealing extramarital affairs and allowing a handful of hurt people to yell at each other in the name of entertainment. It’s disgusting, but it’s also different from public reactions to Duggar’s downfall. There’s a big difference between ordinary people being displayed on TV to be mocked, on the one hand, and condemnations of a very powerful man who had…

Tribal Trouble: The Changing Nature of American Jews’ Relationship to Israel and the Question of Jewish Unity

By Shaul Magid

…re really talking about assimilation. This notion of “cultural shorthand,” talking about one thing while really talking about something else (and knowing the reader can fill in the blank space in-between) is a common way communities struggle to come to terms with things they have less control over by talking about things that they ostensibly have more control over. The fear of intermarriage for many American Jews may really be a fear of assimilati…

Exvangelical TikTokkers Aren’t a Sign of the End Times, But Here’s What Evangelicals Need to Understand About ‘The Falling Away’

By Blake Chastain

…I’ve read when so much is up for grabs in our culture. And today I want to talk with you about “The Falling Away.” Throughout the sermon, which is available to stream on demand on his church’s Facebook page, he would go on to vilify the terms “deconstruction” and “exvangelical” and those who use them. In true pastoral fashion, he begins his sermon with an anecdote, which is really just a thinly-veiled reference to Josh Harris—author of the hugely…

Who’s to Blame for BP?

By David True

…aid to individuals only makes them dependent on government. Missing is any talk of accidents, of debilitating diseases, or of whole industries disappearing. Gone is the sense that life is often subject to forces beyond one’s control. What are we to make of the apparent fact that talk of accidents and life’s contingencies should be reserved for multinational corporations? Are we really to believe that it is the BPs of the world who are most vulnera…

The ‘Pro-Family’ Movement Has Little to Say About Family Separation

By Sophie Bjork-James

…rtion. There are many sad things in the world affecting families, so let’s talk about abortion. Another pro-family response comes from former president of the FRC Gary Bauer, who’s been too busy tweeting about the supposed harassment campaigns against the children of ICE agents to acknowledge the nearly 3,000 migrant children sitting in cages away from their parents. This response focuses mainly on criticizing the “Far Left,” who are accused of ha…

Complicating the Prosperity Gospel Story: A Microeconomics of Pentecostalism, International Edition

By Naomi Haynes

…s I was traveling around meeting pastors and laypeople, everyone wanted to talk to me about their economic concerns—about the prosperity gospel and the blessings they were hoping to receive from God, the difficulties of managing church and denominational budgets, and worries that pastors favored believers who had more money. All of this was being worked out in a temperamental extraction economy, which has gone through several cycles of boom and bu…

Putin Escalates Ukraine Invasion to ‘Cosmic War’ — But There is Hope

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…bsolute defeat. Putin’s annexation of portions of Ukraine and his strident talk about fighting the “satanic” power of the West set him up for one or the other of these two choices. But cosmic war can seldom be achieved by mortal means. It’s a fantastic vision that ultimately must bend to reality and be abandoned. This is what has happened in many of the religion-related violent struggles in recent history. Take ISIS, for instance. When I talked wi…

The Passion of Katniss: How the Hunger Games Confronts the Trauma of Violence

By Michael Schulson

…n serves a larger end. “I think that it’s very uncomfortable for people to talk to children about war,” Collins told Grossman. “But then you have young people at 18 who are enlisting in the army and they really don’t have the slightest idea what they’re getting into. I think we put our children at an enormous disadvantage by not educating them in war, by not letting them understand about it from a very early age.” How accurate is this education? I…
