“We’re Not Fighting About Politics, We’re Fighting About God”: Diana Butler Bass Wants a Revolution

By Jesse James DeConto

…e time, because I like to know what people who are not me think. I spend a lot of time listening to Glenn Beck. I spend a lot of time listening to Sean Hannity and Megyn Kelly. There are actually these right-wing media sources making fun of the theory that terrorism and climate change are linked. But that is absolute truth. The loss of farmlands in the Indus River valley in Pakistan and India have led to the displacement of entire generations of y…

The Anti-Gay Highway

By Kathryn Joyce

…ill was being drafted, although it took a long time to come out—October. A lot of it had to do with Lively. If you read the text of the proceedings, some of the things in that bill are direct reflections of what Lively was saying in Uganda: that there is no scientific evidence, that this group is trying to take over world and destroy family values. There’s a lot of traditional family language, and it’s language that Lively brought to Uganda. In th…

What We Need to Understand is that Fascism is Intersectional and Erotic—’Thy Rod is Thy Gun,’ With a Hip-Thrust

By Annika Brockschmidt

…my own reporting about The Family, which nobody gave a damn about until a number of Family members started getting caught in affairs. You know, did they care [that The Family was] providing lists of communists to Suharto for the genocide? Or about total war in Somalia? I remember a producer saying to me, and I kid you not: “What’s a Somalia?” What’s a Somalia? But! Oh, he had sex with someone he wasn’t married to! Who? Tell us more! We all have t…

Evangelical Author on Why Christian Conservatives Supported Trump

By Eric C. Miller

…hallenging easy thinking and generational laxity, and I think it will do a lot of good. I’m glad the Millennials are the fly in the ointment, and I think they are striking out in some important directions. I live inside the Beltway but outside the District, in Alexandria, Virginia. As you know, we just had a gubernatorial election in Virginia, and 70 percent of young voters voted for the Democratic candidate—and against Gillespie, who was the GOP…

Inventing Jesus: An Interview with Bart Ehrman

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…is that argument? The mythicists have legitimate concerns. They’ve seen a lot of damage done by organized religion which has, over the years, not only supported crusades and inquisitions, but in our more recent history, supported slavery, racism, and oppression of women. A lot of these mythicists think that organized religion, especially Christianity, is a dangerous and harmful thing. One of the ways they’ve tried to attack it is by saying it’s a…

Medieval Multitasking: Did We Ever Focus?

By Elizabeth Drescher

…ander at Brooks’ 924 Facebook friends, and, if I may say so, there’s not a lot of hip there. Okay, you could probably say the same about my meager 438 friends. But my friends are smart—both well informed and cultured; savvy with regard to current trends and true masters of significance. We mostly get that life is mostly neither deep diving or jet skiing, to pick up one of Carr’s central metaphors. It’s a lot of snorkeling—watching beauty and diver…

Romney Banking on Trump’s Birthers Pulling Him Over Finish Line

By Sarah Posner

…t that are shopping, where people die in a store or in a street. There’s a lot of hatred there that’s some place. Now I don’t know if that’s from the Koran. I don’t know if that’s from some place else. But there’s tremendous hatred out there that I’ve never seen anything like it. So, you have two views. You have the view that the Koran is all about love and then you have the view that the Koran is, that there’s a lot of hate in the Koran. Because…

Tajwid: To Read with Love… and Competence

By Amina Wadud

…rger King across the street, provided they only use a certain half of that lot. They mentioned this once or twice, and nightly there are lots of fasting Muslims parking there. Street parking around the mosque is free but they’ve been filling up pretty fast. So I had to walk a block to get to the mosque and then another block around it to get to the women’s entrance—or should I say the entrances—in the back. These past few times I was able to park…

How a Mormon Spring Break Ritual Came to Include a Whole Lot of “Hare Krishna, Hare Rama”

By Spencer Dew

This weekend, tens of thousands of people—primarily college age, overwhelmingly Mormon—will descend on the Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple of Spanish Fork, Utah. Sponsored and led by a priest affiliated with the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, (ISKCON, the so-called Hare Krishnas), the “Festival of Colors” is popularly known as “BYU’s unofficial spring break.” Last year, for the twentieth anniversary of the festival, 80,000 people w…

The Queerness of Christian Ethics: A Conversation with Rev. Elizabeth Edman

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…you to connect to other people. That demands authenticity, and there is a lot in the book about how that informs power dynamics within community. Finally, in the spirit of looking to the margins, we have to be willing to enter into places that are scandalous. You have to enter places of scandal where you’re willing to really own that stuff when it gets scary and when it defies conventional norms. That’s what Christians take on when we do outreach…
