Robert Bellah’s Powerful Legacy: A Mixed Blessing for Religious Studies?

By Ivan Strenski

…ace in mastering Japanese. Doubtless, he spoke these words as someone who knew first-hand what that pain was like. Liberated from the burden of weighing the Japanese option further, I ran off at full speed in another direction.) Another reason I admired Bellah’s work was his original insights into and timely appropriations of the great sociologist Émile Durkheim. While American sociologists were fretting over the relation of their discipline to hi…

#LDSConf Leads Twitter Trend?

By Joanna Brooks

…internet access among Mormons in the U.S., as well as longstanding cultural-religious-ethnic kinship networks among American Mormons that have served as a base for building web relationality. (Although digital media is showing potential not only for reflecting already existing Mormon social networks but for innovating new social networks among like-minded members at different points on the orthodoxy spectrum.) I’ll be talking about digital media,…

“Ex-Gay” Gospel Star Donnie McClurkin and the Decline of Public Theology

By Joshua L. Lazard

…been in the course of human history. Granted, the Pauline epistles of the New Testament stand out as seemingly eternal documents that have been doing public theology since the genesis of the followers of the Christ, but today, nearly everyone has access to any type of theological strain that they choose. And choosing which voice to listen to can become difficult. An example: many in religion, those who visit frequently the intersections of theolo…

Saipov Wasn’t a “Member” of ISIS, But That Misses the Point

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…v as “a soldier of the Caliphate.” Yet it’s not clear what motivated the 29-year-old Saipov to undertake the act. Clearly his career was not going anywhere. He was licensed as a truck driver, but recently the only work he could get was driving his own car as an Uber driver, and whatever financial problems he may have had were compounded by his wife’s pregnancy and growing economic obligations. So he might have been another example of a marginalize…

When Violence is Inevitable: Club Q and the Success of the System

By Heron Greenesmith

…d-raisers who gather five dollars here and ten dollars there from other low-income queer and trans people in the hope of funding gender-affirming care that can cost tens of thousands; or to the patrons at Club Q who stood up to the shooter, disarmed and subdued him. The networks are there. The evidence is there. The stories have been told. The conversations have been had. The bullets have been fired. And fired. And fired. And the loved ones have d…

It’s Preposterous That We Can’t Question Nominees on Religion

By Patricia Miller

…ulture wars. The Hobby Lobby decision showed that an ascendant conservative-Catho-Christian legal establishment has flipped the definition of “religious liberty” from an individual’s right to freedom of religious practice to the right of religious imposition on others (via an ever expanding roster of religious exemptions). “Because so many religious people currently say they should be exempt from the laws, it is important for Senators to get all n…

New World A-Coming: How Black Religion Helped Shape Racial Identity

By Judith Weisenfeld

What inspired you to write New World A-Coming: Black Religion and Racial Identity During the Great Migration? I have been fascinated by the black new religious movements of the Great Migration era since I read Arthur Huff Fauset’s 1944 Black Gods of the Metropolis: Negro Religious Cults of the Urban North as an undergraduate. There has been a renewed scholarly interest in many of the groups he profiled that had emerged or expanded in the early tw…

Our Last “Genius” Stephen Hawking is Gone… Cause for Worry Or Inspiration?

By Ed Simon

…Revolutions, the “scientific enterprise as a whole does from time to time… open up new territory… and test long-accepted belief. Nevertheless, the individual engaged on a normal research problem is almost never doing any one of these things.” Even Newton, arguably the first universally celebrated scientific genius, for whom relics were made of his apocryphal apple tree and whose pronouncements were treated as oracular truths, admitted to the colla…

Don’t Call it a Turkish Spring

By Haroon Moghul

…here would be, if he’d faithfully transliterated from Arabic. So a Shari’ah-compliant lounge called ‘Huqqa’? With fantastic views of the Bosphorus, situated on the far edge of Europe and facing the far edge of Asia—not some geological marvel, but a manufactured conceit, mind you—this trendy spot in Kurucesme offers no alcohol to go with its ample supply of nargile. Also: No mint tea, which I consider heresy. It’s pretty bourgeois, high-end, and ha…
