The Law-less Legacy of Global Capital

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…in Paris). By 1715, leaders in Paris were ready to listen to Law’s radical new ideas. With Louis XIV dead, the Regency was forced to admit that the nation was utterly bankrupt: endless wars abroad; a coddled aristocracy at home; a mixture of inflation and debt that had brought the common people to their knees. What happened next led to Law’s creation of the first national bank of credit in France (the Banque Générale), the largest conglomerate in…

Meet the New Haggards—Same as the Old Haggards?

By Kathryn Joyce

…re doing extensively, in nationwide church appearances and through Gayle’s promotion of her new book. Why I Stayed: The Choices I Made In My Darkest Hour (Tyndale House, 2010) chronicles her and her family’s years in exile and urges women to follow her in choosing a path of forgiveness and love towards their flawed husbands. Why I Stayed paints a compelling picture of an eternal evangelical women’s leader continuing to demonstrate the path of virt…

New Atheism Produces Another Curiously Uncurious Science v. Religion Book

By Michael Schulson

…its outcome. I’ve written about this Scopes history before, but it’s not exactly new; the scholar Edward Larson, some of whose other research Coyne cites, wrote a Pulitzer Prize-winning book on the topic in 1997. Details, details: Coyne will have none of it. “Although both of these incidents,” he writes (of Scopes and Galileo), “have been recast by accomodationist theologians and historians as not involving genuine conflict between science and re…

Beyond Alarmism and Denial in the Dominionism Debate

By Anthea Butler

…tion movement. It also bears saying that none of what Wagner has touted as new, is new; rather, it is the recapitulation of old Pentecostal teachings—and actually heresy to some Pentecostals (like the Latter Rain and Shepherding movements). The NAR was “created” by Wagner after leaving Fuller. Wagner believes that the offices of apostles and prophets are still given by God for today, and they are not just for the church, but for the world. Some ap…

Christian Right Denialism is More Dangerous Than Ever: A Reporter’s Guide to the New Apostolic Reformation

By Frederick Clarkson and André Gagné

…agner financially. It’s possible that some form of the EVAT network still exists (for example, some individuals are still presented in recent online bios as being EVAT members despite Wagner’s 2016 passing; see Robert Henderson and Peter Roselle). There is, unfortunately, no public membership list. Of course, just because Apostles, Prophets, and their own networks downplay their titles and their roles, doesn’t mean they’re necessarily hiding. They…

Eid on 9/11 Anniversary?

By Haroon Moghul

…to help, too. “What are you doing here?” I asked. (He was, of course, not exactly who I expected to see.) He said, “I figured that some Muslims might feel uncomfortable walking home”—people had already begun to blame any number of extremist Muslim groups, and of course the subways had been shut down—“and that, if I walked home with them, maybe people would think twice before trying anything.” (He wore a yarmulke). Responding Together If I give a s…

New York State Senator Declares War on NY Marriage Equality

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…We should have an open and deliberative process,” the Rev. Jason McGuire, executive director of New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms, told The Associated Press. “If truly the legislation can stand on its own merits then it should be able to withstand being deliberated publicly.” (Liberty Counsel represents McGuire’s group in the lawsuit challenging the statute.) I’ve got to hand it to the Christian Post who managed to find, perhaps, the only ga…

Statement on NAR & Christian Nationalism Answers Few Questions But Exposes Growing Rifts in the Movement

By Frederick Clarkson and André Gagné

…ong with Prophets Stacey Campbell, and Kris Vallotton, to name a few.* The new statement opens with an explanation for its genesis: “In light of the controversy surrounding the terms “New Apostolic Reformation” (NAR) and “Christian Nationalism,” we are issuing this statement of clarification.” While there certainly is controversy around these terms, the statement adds more confusion than clarification. And, in early media coverage the statement’s…

Opponents of Marriage Equality Confident of Defeating Last-Minute Push

By Michael Tracey

…of marriage, is perilous to all of us.” Dov Hikind is Insulted Factions of New York’s Orthodox Jewry have also been monitoring the legislative jostling closely. On May 23, six organizations issued a joint position statement exhorting lawmakers to uphold traditional marriage. Among the signatories was Agudath Israel of America, an umbrella organization for ultra-Orthodox groups, both Hasidic and non-Hasidic, who share a “singular belief in the Tora…

The High Church of Art

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…e vagaries of spirituality in the modern age. That is the suggestive idea explored in Marcia Brennan’s new book, Curating Consciousness. Brennan introduces us to James Johnson Sweeney (1900-1968), a provocative art critic, curator, and unapologetic modernist who devoted most of his professional life to the promotion of “the museum as a secular temple of art.” While the spiritual orientation of a great deal of modern Abstraction is widely recognize…
