So Deep a Wound: Home, and the novels of Marilynne Robinson

By Garret Keizer

…the characters without their wounds—like wishing a world without sin—was almost like wishing them out of existence. We must be careful what we wish for. Another line that came to mind was the subtitle of Christopher Hitchens’s latest book (perhaps because its main title, God Is Not Great, exists in counterpoint to Robinson’s last line: “The Lord is wonderful”): How Religion Poisons Everything. Of course Hitchens is right, and of course he underst…

Tribal Trouble: The Changing Nature of American Jews’ Relationship to Israel and the Question of Jewish Unity

By Shaul Magid

…over Israel Dov Waxman Princeton University Press April 12, 2016 In his latest book Dov Waxman weighs in on this phenomenon of civil disunity with acumen and verve, showing how the American diaspora has produced a collective that no longer views Israel as the sine qua non of its identity.* The nation-state of Israel is a fact. But Waxman argues that it also has become the touchstone of this disunity which is, in some ways, quite new. Decades earl…

Dragged Through the Mud: This Little Church-Backed Support Group for LGBTQ Teens Suffered Bomb Threats, Smears and the Cancellation of its Drag Show

By Chrissy Stroop

…nce. That I recall, there wasn’t one performer that was dressed in the lack-of-clothing that a cheerleader, girls’ golfer, or girls’ volleyball uniform would show.” The parent continued, “The joy and growth I saw out of the performers was inspirational. Kids that are normally quiet, reserved, and self-conscious performed on that stage without a care in the world, so proud to be themselves.” As for those “dollar bills” Farrington seemed to imagine…

Creationism Makes Its Mark

By Lauri Lebo

…ry’s arm [see image above]. They say the burn, which in photos show an 8-by-4-inch mark on his forearm, raised blisters, kept their son awake that night, and lasted for several weeks. At first glance, they saw the mark as a religious emblem. But their first concern was less about religion and more about what they considered to be a case of a teacher injuring their son. Their accusations and their resulting lawsuit against the district have brought…

Tim Tebow, Protestant Saint

By Sean S. O'Neil

…tent strengths and glaring football weakness; a man who fits the last-shall-be-first theme of so many stories about saints. Doubters said Tebow would never be selected in the first round of the NFL draft. He was chosen in the first round anyway. Still, the coach, Josh McDaniel, was fired after Tebow’s rookie season and Tebow was unceremoniously benched under the helm of current coach, John Fox, for the first four games of Tebow’s second season; th…

The Story of ‘In God We Trust,’ Our Christian Nationalist Motto [Part 1]

By Andrew L. Seidel

…of the Saviour of the world, we can say: “Here are the dollars of the greatest nation on earth, one that does not put its trust in floating navies or in marching armies, but places its trust in God.” Congress added the phrase to paper currency five decades later. A “compelling reason” for doing so was to spread the Gospel “behind the Iron Curtain,” as one Congressman put it. The national motto is not an expression of national sentiment or tribute…

The Religious Motto That Isn’t Religious: How ‘In God We Trust’ Remains Constitutional [Part 2]

By Andrew L. Seidel

…Court employed a similar strategy earlier this summer when it upheld the 40-foot-tall Christian cross in Bladensburg, Md. The fractured majority argued that, because the cross was really old, this preeminent symbol of Christianity had magically transformed into a secular symbol too. In a government where state and church are meant to be walled off from one another, judges have essentially declared that entrusting this world to God is not a religio…

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

By Jodi Eichler-Levine

…haos of the universe with a needle and thread. Threads, like our bodies, are impermanent. But Ginsburg’s collars will endure. Even when the fabric degrades, their white-on-black iconicity will linger in our minds, like the photographic negative of an ebony Victorian silhouette….

Putin’s Violent Holy War Rhetoric Made it to the Christian Right Fringe — And There’s Reason to Believe it’ll Go Mainstream

By Thomas Lecaque

What the Latest ‘God’s Not Dead’ Gets Egregiously Wrong — and Right — About Homeschooling

By R.L. Stollar

…star Kevin Sorbo, best known for his role as the title character in the mid-to-late-90s Hercules TV series, and music from the contemporary Christian music band Newsboys, the original God’s Not Dead was a relative success, racking up over $64 million in the box office and over $32 million in DVD and Blu-Ray sales. Despite making millions, it was panned by critics who argued that the film offered banal cliches about non-Christians and atheism. Pure…
