By Eric C. Miller

…rful rhetoric of the Civil Rights Movement, but they’re further enabled by new technologies. In the nineteenth century, for example, newspapers would print vivid descriptions of individuals such as the innocent and worthy “girl” who was deceived by a violent and unscrupulous husband, which helped promote identification with audiences. Today, however, such profiles are supplemented by actual visuals. Images of hard-working and non-threatening gay c…

Is Terry Jones the Death Rattle of the White Male Protestant?

By Gary Laderman

…lar culture riddled with hip hop artists, filmmakers, cable comedy variety news shows, and television producers willing to openly mock and demean that moral universe. But even more radically distressing is the prospect of losing the cultural—dare I say hegemonic—power over American society that is as old as the republic. Is it that outrageous to claim WMHCC have generally been the primary power brokers (in government, in law, in finance, in church…

Anti-harassment codes at schools and universities, gay rights events, and other expressions of freedom or equal rights for LGBT people, necessarily silence Christians, who, ADF insists, are biblically compelled to condemn homosexuality.

Why We Need a Public Black Theology for the 21st Century

By Vincent Lloyd

…-segregation shift is in terms of audience. With Dyson in the pages of The New Republic, Glaude in Time, and Harris-Perry once on MSNBC, now in Elle, Black public intellectuals are speaking to a predominantly white audience. Many other critics have examined the ways that Black leaders are cast as representatives of their race, translating the Black world for the white world, obviously an impossible task. This has always been the case, but the dyna…

By Peter Laarman

…y changing and how younger white evangelicals will yet rise up to save the Republic. Exit polls thus far show more of the same, with white evangelicals overwhelmingly supporting House Republicans over Democrats, 75 percent to 22 percent. I spend a lot of time absorbed in 19th century U.S. history, and (yes) I do experience a slight sectarian thrill whenever I read of instances of Bible-thumping white Christians standing up boldly against race and…

What does the donning of a burqa really mean, or signify? And would banning it achieve what Sarkozy has in mind—the emancipation of Muslim women? The burqa originated and evolved in different contexts. Most people now associate it with Islam,…

Beinart’s Indictment And The Evangelical Right

By Sarah Posner

…e potential to create an intellectual earthquake. The former editor of the New Republic and liberal hawk who supported the Iraq war may very well rock the Jewish world with his well-argued, fact-laden essay laying out how the American Jewish establishment has been complicit in creating an Israel that is an anti-democratic, racist state — and that in the process, has contributed to the decline and impending death of liberal Zionism. That the “estab…
