Progressive Christian: Wallis “No Longer Speaks for Us”

By Sarah Posner

…t be sympathetic to the advertising. But we don’t take a position on this except promoting dialogue. At Sojourners, we’ve decided to have a safe place for dialogue and even disagreement on our staff and in our constituency. That’s interesting, since the Believe Out Loud ad could be best interpreted as . . . promoting dialogue. Sojourners, so far, has been silent on the Rev. Robert Chase’s piece we published here.

By Rita Nakashima-Brock

…us going as a political movement was … the IRS [decision] to rescind the tax-exempt status of Bob Jones University [for] its racially discriminatory policies. In the face of failed attempts to reverse the Roe decision and despite enduring majority support for it, anti-abortion white supremacists have worked to escalate their efforts using an unscientific concern for women’s safety to deny life-saving reproductive health care to women and to demoni…

Reexamining the Shaky Theology That Gives Humans ‘Dominion’ Over All Creation

By Timothy Beal

…e fish and birds earlier, before God created humans (1:22). These are not exceptional, exclusively human charges, but are what all living beings should do. Life is about bursting forth, growing, and filling. You could even argue that these are not really commandments at all but simply descriptions of what animal life naturally does. As in, “you do you.” The last two imperatives, however, are for humans only: “subdue” and “have dominion” or “rule”…

By Annette Yoshiko Reed

…spreading widely through social media and persisting for years? The Crucifixion of Judas Iscariot The controversial version of the crucifixion in chapters 215-219 of the Gospel of Barnabas follows the same structure as the four gospels known from the New Testament, though at each stage it introduces a twist. In the Barnabas, for instance, Judas’ betrayal of Jesus to the Romans prompts God to save Jesus by removing him to heaven and to condemn Juda…

Was Prof Wrong to Ask Students to Not Thank God?

By Hollis Phelps

…of largely unwritten assumptions guides how, when, and in what manner to express or not express these rights. It’s when the code that translates these rights for us somehow ceases to function properly in the background that problems result. I want to suggest that often when problems crop up around religious or religiously-motivated speech in the United States, they often have less to do with rights per se than with the unwritten code that determi…

By Sunnivie Brydum

…urch-state conflicts from the jurisdiction of the federal courts. For context, the position to which Brownback has been nominated has existed since 1998; if confirmed by the Senate, Brownback would be the fifth Ambassador-at-Large leading the office within the State Department. He would succeed Rabbi David Saperstein, who was nominated to the post by President Obama, and who was the first Jewish (and non-Christian) person to hold the position. Sap…

By Peter Montgomery

…self-identified gay men living in an African, Muslim nation, where same-sex sex is both illegal and actively persecuted. We interviewed 28 gay men living in Tunisia in order to understand how they assimilate their sexual, religious and ethnic identities within a highly homophobic culture.

By Lauren Horn Griffin

…nd how perhaps those who created the ad might have included “Bible” in the code, for example. Far from the algorithm being a perfect mirror or predictor of our interests, for some this incident revealed that the people controlling the code have a lot of power. If one thinks that marketing agents put “Bible” in the code, then they might think of them as predatory, or presumptuous about U.S. Christians and their political affiliations. They might be…

Does War Make Sense? Science and Religion on the Battlefield

By Nathan Schneider

…on beat back Saddam Hussein quickly and decisively. Minimal firepower was expended for maximum, localized, effect. By then, though, the cybernetic paradigm’s underpinnings in the technoscientific world-picture were beginning to erode. Moore’s Law may have kept up its shocking pace, promising exponential growth in computer processor power, but in the decade that followed, the importance of that power nonetheless diminished. The new revolution came…

In ‘The Evangelical Mission to Spread The Gospel to Muslims’ a Journalist Tells a Global Story About Evangelical Missionaries and the Spread of Right-Wing Ideology
