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

By Chance Bonar

…st as Iao struck down the chariot of Pharaoh and cut down the firstborn of Egypt, alluding to narratives from the book of Exodus. However, as Alexander Hollmann, the editor of the curse tablet, suggests, the curse is not 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 he…

The Children of Bellow and Roth: New Book of Short Fiction Takes On the Male Jewish Experience

By Stephanie Russell-Kraft

…thnicity posed by the collection and what it means to be Jewish in America today. The following interview has been edited for length and clarity. This collection, in many ways, is about the American male Jewish experience. Is it essentially a memoir in pieces? None of it’s strictly autobiographical, but one of the things that’s autobiographical is the feeling of alienation; of being Jewish when you’re not in New York. Because some of the things I…

Storytime with David Brooks: In Which the Liberals’ Favorite Conservative Gets Lost in a Lily-White History

By Peter Laarman

…how can God’s anointed nation possibly be doing such awful things? Where white Americans complacently see their history “in an upward spiral” under special providential protection, nonwhite Americans, and almost everyone outside our borders, see this New Israel behaving more like Old Egypt in its worship of wealth and power. Brooks ends his column with a wistful plea for a new Moses to come along to revive the Exodus template and “tell us what our…

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…

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

By Daniel Schultz

…f a small community. It was more than a little surreal to see Christianity Today report that, what is now the nation’s fourth-worst gun massacre (the shootings in Las Vegas being number one), was “only the 14th mass murder at an American house of worship since 1963.” Only! We have to have rankings of such things now, complete with charts detailing deadly incidents at faith properties… and by denomination? The interminable debate about prayers-vs.-…

What Passover Taught Me About Being Black

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…ed, however, Passover became further removed from my annual celebration of freedom from Egyptian slavery and the hope for the end of American bondage to debates over whether, as a non-Ashkenazi Jew, I should eat rice or not during the holiday and scavenger hunts for Kosher for Passover Coca-Cola. My conversion created a tension between my Black self and my Jewish self, and in the words of W.E.B. Du Bois, there were “two souls, two thoughts, two un…

Evangelicalism “Wasn’t Created for Someone Like Me”: Following a Queer Evangelical of Color in the Age of Trump

By Deborah Jian Lee

…meless, and I think I’m embracing that. I think a lot about Exodus—leaving Egypt and wandering in the wilderness. There is no temple to worship, but we have God’s manna at our fingertips, and a cloud to guide us by day and shelter us by night. The presence of God is visible and tangible—it’s comfort ever needed and felt. Sometimes you find an oasis, like The Reformation Project, but I’m in the wilderness for now, and I’m learning about God’s faith…

For Trump Admin, Immigration is About Race and Identity

By Aryeh Cohen

…shown in his book Poverty and Charity in the Jewish Community of Medieval Egypt, there were a large number of hostels for the poor (sponsored by Christians, Jews, and Muslims) stretching across Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. The common denominator of these institutions is that they did not rely upon political boundaries to relieve suffering. The religious traditions of hospitality, refuge, and sanctuary created the vibrant multiform c…

Why I Wrote the Freedom Seder And Why It’s Still Necessary 50 Years After Dr. King’s Assassination

By Arthur Waskow

…still higher pyramids of profit, I realize that never again can the Seder freeze. Now, again, we need a new Freedom Seder. “In every generation …” Indeed. What makes time and life into a spiral, instead of a straight line or an endless circle, is setting aside time for reflection, rest, renewal. That renewal-time—Shabbat, the Sabbath; each pause to bless Creation and say I-Thou before we make use of it; the Great Shabbat when, we are taught, we m…

Bright Lights, Big Bible: A Liberal, Literary Evangelical Keeps the Faith

By Liesl Schwabe

…ginally published in England in 1927, the book is so influential that even today the faithful can follow its immortal author, Oswald Chambers, via @myutmost on twitter. In a new memoir Halford considers the impact Chambers’ book has had on her personally, as well as its remarkable history. The debut author also describes her experience inhabiting the seemingly disparate worlds of The New Yorker magazine, where she worked for several years, and her…
