It’s The Apocalypse, Stupid: Understanding Christian Opposition to Obamacare, Civil Rights, New Deal and More

By Daniel Silliman

…930s, for example, most of these fundamentalists were very critical of the New Deal. For Americans who were actively looking for signs of the coming Antichrist in the context of the 1930s, in the context of Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini, Roosevelt had all the markings of someone setting the stage for the end times. He was concolidating power. Government was growing. I found a letter from one of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s operatives. He had gone out to…

Focus on the Family’s New Face?

By Sarah Posner

…ints. Fleece had cited the Tim Tebow Super Bowl ad as an example of FOFA’s new approach. At a panel this morning on the pro-life movement’s place in the conservative movement, FOFA’s Carrie Earll elaborated on how the Tim Tebow Super Bowl ad represents the future of how FOFA will do anti-abortion advocacy. This year is FOFA’s first appearance at CPAC, and organizers were clearly trying to attach opposition to abortion as a “liberty” issue to fit w…

Welcome to the Gayborhood: Jason Brown on This New Era

By The Editors

…from the show’s guests that reveal how their worldview has changed in this new era. In 2013, Jason Brown was a queer student at Biola University, a conservative evangelical college that prohibits “homosexual behavior.” For a time, he co-led an anonymous LGBTQ club called the Biola Queer Underground (now Biolans’ Equal Ground).

By Robert M. Geraci

…d inaugurate new religious visions. Of the book’s Reformation context, the New York Review of Books’ Marina Warner noted that: [T]he new focus on reading the Bible led to a resurgence of interest in stories of direct divine intervention, and Protestant Europe in the sixteenth century saw a “boom” in compendia of miracles… The Monster Manual is likewise a product of its time, an expression of the secular age. One of its accompanying texts, Deities…

Chauvin Verdict isn’t a Turning Point in Equal Justice, But it Does Suggest a New Political Norm

By John Stoehr

…, the former president, almost certainly without knowing it, established a new assumption that’s unlikely to undo itself any time soon, an assumption that not only understands that the work of liberty and justice for all is ongoing, but also that the Republicans’ lies are no longer worth accepting or overlooking. The world saw Derek Chauvin squeeze the life out of George Floyd. No lie could hide that. The world saw the former president try to sque…

Robert Bellah’s Powerful Legacy: A Mixed Blessing for Religious Studies?

By Ivan Strenski

…trange that Bellah believed his recommendations amounted to anything truly new, much less something as perplexing as a “new religious consciousness.” Stranger still is why Bellah would use such tendentious language at all; especially when he must have known how many red flags it would have set off among his political enemies on campus. Thus, when we take such talk of a department of religious studies being the breeding grounds for a “new religious…

…suggestions. After this, other present their own lists. This is completely new – previously there was only a single list that voters could pick from. Advocates of gay marriage have already announced that they will promote their own lists in all dioceses. Opponents have said they will wait until they see the first lists submitted in the spring. Their strategy seems to be to get their people in here, as they have been previously. Poland: First Openl…

There are Nonproductive Ways of Listening to Each Other: Deborah Jian Lee on the New Era

By The Editors

…at is one of the biggest transformations that has occurred for you in this new era? A common refrain I keep hearing in this new era is that we need to listen to each other, that we need to hear out “the other side.” As someone who straddles multiple cultures and worlds, it’s something I’ve done for a long while, and I’ve learned, especially in times like these, that there are both productive and non-productive ways of doing this. A few months afte…

Israel’s New President and Intolerant Judaism

By Sarah Posner

…visiting two of their synagogues I am convinced that this is a completely new religion without any connection to Judaism. Total assimilation. Their prayer is like a completely Protestant ceremony. Rabbi Eric Yoffie, past president of the Union for Reform Judaism, wrote before the election that Rivlin had refused to address him as rabbi, and called on Rivlin to address the idol worship comments. In the Jerusalem Post, a Rivlin defender came rather…
