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

…ve,* there are some anti-Muslim voices whose negative views have dominated significant portions of American Catholic media, including a number of mainstream Catholic outlets that have elevated the voices of those with affiliations to anti-Muslim groups, touting them as experts on Islam. In addition, prominent Catholic institutions and public figures, including priests, have promoted materials on Islam that depict a Muslim-Christian clash. One of S…

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…

DeSantis is a No-Show, the Right’s ‘Secret Sauce,’ and Final Thoughts on Pray Vote Stand

By PRA Staff

…co-panelist Rob Bluey, executive editor at Heritage Foundation’s The Daily Signal with a simple quip about the Post Millennial being an independent outlet. Mainstream media are “be-clowning themselves with nonsense and lies,” says Emmons. “They say there’s no such thing as men and women. Anyone who says there’s no such thing as men and women has no credibility.” The audience laughs out loud, clapping. “It’s time to stop believing what we’re told,”…

The Vile Attack on Salman Rushdie Reminds Us of the Value of a Free Society — But is Our Outrage More About the Criminal Than the Crime?

By Haroon Moghul

…ay nothing of an entire government. Rather, scholars argued, the Prophet assigned all deeds to one of at least five categories, a spectrum that runs from obligatory to prohibited, and includes categories like recommended, permissible, or discouraged and disliked. Prayer, for example, is obligatory from the age of maturity (other conditions apply too), while the consumption of mind-altering substances like alcohol is forbidden (haram), unless neede…

What Passover Taught Me About Being Black

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…es (albeit a white one) and the Hebrews as they dueled with Ramses and the Egyptians. But then something unexpected happened, I converted to rabbinic Judaism under the guidance of an African-American rabbi and within the context of a primarily African-American congregation. Observing the Passover seder communally with my congregation was exciting. As time progressed, however, Passover became further removed from my annual celebration of freedom fr…

We’ve Finally Begun to Confront White Christian Nationalism; But What About Its Source Text?

By Dianne M. Stewart

…n people their own territory after having suffered 400 years of bondage in Egypt. Although that territory was already occupied, God authorized his chosen people to invade, rape, pillage, massacre and even commit genocide against their Baal-worshipping Canaanite neighbors. But rarely do I read any commentary about this narrative of terrorism in the Bible when perusing critical articles on white Christian supremacy. It’s like decrying the increased…

Can Government Solve The Evil Of Mass Shootings? A Response to Mollie Hemingway

By Daniel Schultz

…example, shows God forming a new society out of the disorganized slaves of Egypt. That society comes complete with its own form of government. When that structure doesn’t work for the humans, God endorses a change. God warns against the change, but does go along. Later, when the new form doesn’t work out, God endorses another change. Again, the approval comes with a warning, but in the end God says, “If that’s what you really want…” This sets up t…

Right-Wing Religion, Anti-Globalism, Authoritarian Rule: America Catches Up With the Rest of the World

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…g religious movements, many of them strident, some of them lethal, are one sign of the xenophobic backlash to the notion of global citizenship. Rejection of foreigners and foreign ties—think of Brexit—is another. Anti-globalism also leads to another global phenomenon, the rise of demagogic popularist strong-men—and they are almost entirely men. Think of Rodrigo Duterte in the Philippines, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in Egypt, Recep Erdogan in Turkey, Nar…

‘Jesus is my Vaccine’ Has a Millennium-Long History Rooted in Antisemitism

By Chance Bonar

…ot necessarily Jewish. Greek and Roman magic often incorporated Jewish and Egyptian texts and figures that were deemed efficacious. If a deity got the job done, you could call on it. Chrysostom knew of local Christians seeking out healers, amulets, incantations, and more. In his other sermons, he explicitly challenges women who marked their children’s foreheads with mud in order to keep away the evil eye, offering instead the sign of the cross as…
