Jennifer’s Body and Why I Like Buffy’s Body Better

By W. Scott Poole

…resistible narrative style. Indeed, the film could be read as a fairly simplistic rendering of women as the source of evil; tales that were born among ancient Mediterranean patriarchies, but have had a long and troubled history in the United States as well. In my work, I have explored the connection between misogyny, American religion, and images of sexuality, horror, and the Devil that emerge again and again in our cultural history. A few highlig…

Islamic Intellectual Leadership at a Crossroads

By Amina Wadud

…ions are suspect. Among the topics he mentioned: secularism, Islamic penal code, Muslim women’s rights, headscarf or burqa, and equality, it is interesting to note how many have to do directly with women or with gender identity and politics. He was concerned that using vaguely poetic or philosophical language might be seen as an attempt to mislead the readers. Otherwise, he should just stick to these button issues. Isn’t it curious that women are…

A Link to Jewish History, RBG’s Iconic Collars Were a Beacon for the Marginalized

By Jodi Eichler-Levine

…elivered—dissent and approval, femininity and righteousness and pleasure—encoded the proceedings with a special kind of attention, another layer to Supreme Court ritual. Those fabric beacons shone powerfully for those of us who have experienced marginalization, had to code switch from setting to setting, or learned to express ourselves through subtle cues beyond formal language. While it’s not a huge surprise that some of Ginsburg’s collars will r…

Francis the Jesuit: a Philosopher-Pope?

By J. Michelle Molina

…ot points out, philosophy in the ancient world was not so much a system or code as “a way of being.” Philosophy, in this sense, is enmeshed in a life-world. Writers from Marcus Aurelius to Francis Bacon to Ralph Waldo Emerson have conducted such experiments in living as spiritual exercise, a task that entailed writing as philosophic engagement. Philosophy in this mode, Hadot explains, is a continuous process, to be renewed in each instant—a practi…

Top Ten Religion & Science Stories of 2009

By Lauri Lebo

…Year of Darwin: 1. “Junk Science” in Texas Classrooms In April, fundamentalist Christian members of the Texas Board of Education inserted intelligent design code words into its science education requirements. The wording includes directing students to analyze and evaluate “sudden appearance” in the fossil record and analyze the “complexity of the cell.” The language prompted creationist and pro-intelligent design organizations like the Seattle-ba…

The Hypocrisy in Protests against Ultra-Orthodox in Israel

By Shaul Magid

…—often more adroitly than their modern counterparts. In his Mishneh Torah (Code of Law), Maimonides explicitly advocated the position that women should stay mostly in their homes. The kabbalistic literature now so popular in modern Israel is in many ways worse. We have evidence that in the heyday of Safed in the sixteenth century a “council for rectifying sins” (va’ad le tikun avonot) was established to seek out and corporally punish those who wer…

Inspired by the Anti-Abortion Movement and QAnon, Anti-Trans Rhetoric is a Blatant Call for Violence

By Annika Brockschmidt & Thomas Lecaque

…ess. But, along with a national abortion ban, this will be on the GOP-wish list should they win back Congress and the presidency. The Federalist piece mentioned above ends with a dark warning for its readers: “if you object or protest in any way, they are angling to get you labeled a bigot, a threat to child safety, a terrorist. And you know what that means.” In fact, parts of the American Right are already owning the term “terrorist.” At CPAC in…

By E. David Morgen

…e strings of his electric bass to bang out a rhythm that sounds like Morse code. When all twelve performers are on stage, the sounds that they make together are nothing less than astonishing. On top of it all rests the falsetto voice of the band’s vocalist, Jón Birgisson, who sings the lyrics with a keening wail: Bakvio sk´yjaból vaknar sól úr dvala Svalar sér vio kalda dropa regnsins leikur sér vio heita loga eldsins Byr til regnboga A rough tran…

Beck Botches Social Justice

By Daniel Schultz

…6:10 James 2:5 James 5:1-6 1 John 3:17 Now, this is just a quick and dirty list that I stole from what appears to be some hippie site. But that’s just the point: you can’t read the Bible for very long before you stumble into some concern for social or economic justice. The damn thing is riddled with all kinds of socialist or fascist ideas, in Beck’s terms. Not that any of that matters. This hasn’t a thing to do with logic, or faith, or really anyt…
