By Annika Brockschmidt and Ben Lorber

…rent goal: restoration. “If you think restoration is impossible that’s because you’re lazy because you’re not willing to read, you don’t read books.” Echoing DeMuth’s concerns about “fertility,” Hazony speaks directly to the—largely male—audience: Young men: get a young woman, join a church, go to a place where the great inheritance is being handed down, […] or join a synagogue. If there is no church like that in your state, move to a different st…

Paul for the People: John Dominic Crossan Imagines a “Letter to the Americans” In His New Video Series

By Peter Laarman

…he would tell us not to worry too much about that phrase “under God,” because if we use our freedom to establish justice for all we will be living under God whether we know it or not or acknowledge it or not. Paul would also be fascinated by our Declaration of Independence and its claims that all are created equal with such God-given-from-Creation rights such as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

By Nyasha Junior

…orm readers? Entertain them? Piss them off? I wrote the book for classroom use, so my primary aim is to inform readers. I tried to keep the book free of jargon and to explain any unfamiliar terminology. I hope that readers will come away with a better understanding of the complexities of the use of the term “womanist” and womanist work. What alternative title would you give the book? I’m happy with the title suggested by my editor, since it descri…

By Haroon Moghul

…ntimidation, and censorship, and then argues for censoring the Qur’an. Because ‘Islam’ causes ‘extremism,’ an assumption that’s never proved, nor the terminology even defined. Islam in turn is what the Prophet Muhammad did (as per the claims of extremists, not any other Muslims). The way to stop extremism then is to eliminate or modify the personality of the Prophet Muhammad, either directly (i.e. through the use of force) or, as Hirsi Ali now pro…

Bad Scholarship A Poor Solution to Anti-Trans Politics: A Response to the New York Times’ “Is God Transgender?”

By Carolyn Klaasen and Jenna Stover-Kemp

…Israel’s conception of gender on the basis of this version of the text because no Israelite ever purposefully wrote this version of the text—it got here accidentally.

The Devil is in the Details

By Amina Wadud

That doesn’t mean I don’t have an amount due against my credit card (or my mortgage, if I still had one), but it means I have keep my payments up in accordance to my agreements. No overdue amounts. I’ve done my mock packing. What is mock packing, you ask? Well, for this trip I have almost all new…

My Childhood Hobby Was Satanic, Or So They Told Me

By Joseph Laycock

…ntroversies surrounding monuments. I’m interested in the way monuments are used to inscribe particular histories and ideas of polity onto the land. I’m also interested in the way rituals are used to construct and change those meanings. The connection between ritual, sacred space, and narrative runs through a lot of my work. In my next book I plan to look at some of the controversies surrounding monuments in America in order to explore how and why…

Sanctuary and the Second Amendment: Do Guns Deserve Special Protection?

By Rosalind C. Hughes

…al Day weekend. Of course, the history of sanctuary abounds with its own abuses. Victor Hugo wrote of, “the abuse of impunity by the side of the abuse of punishment; two bad things which strove to correct each other.” In that vein, Owen Chadwick, church historian, reported the “notorious case” of St Martin-le-Grand in 15th-century London, where “a group of men living in a public sanctuary became little more than a band of brigands issuing forth fr…
