Big Mo-Publican Primary Watch 2012 Begins

By Joanna Brooks

…team of former McCain advisors like Richard Quinn, Hunstman will focus on South Carolina and beyond—a cheeky strategy given how well Mormons traditionally do in the South. Romney will hold his national base of Mormon campaign donors and doers, but whatever Romney has in national infrastructure, Hunstman will make up for with his own deep pockets. Scenario two: Huntsman explores, then opts to postpone until 2016 and runs for US Senate in 2012 agai…

Public Religion in a Post-Christian Age, Graduation Edition

By David Gushee

…on graduated from a formerly Baptist liberal arts college also deep in the South. His graduation exercises, including a baccalaureate service, were characterized by a multi-faith ethos. The baccalaureate was especially striking, with readings and rituals from Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, and Christian sources. The address from the university president emphasized the centrality of “the spirit” rather than just material success. The commencement…

Beyond Alarmism and Denial in the Dominionism Debate

By Anthea Butler

…a student in the early 1990s. He had had a career on the mission field in South America before coming to Fuller, and what brought him there was a book he had written about his time as a missionary called Look out! The Pentecostals are coming. That book chronicled what he termed the “move of the Holy Spirit” in the world today, and that the healing and deliverance ministries of Pentecostalism would reform the church.

Want To Know How 84% of the World Sees Itself: Study Theology

By Alana Massey

…ashed the work ethic and entrepreneurial spirits of citizens of the global South. But if we take Burton’s theological investigation of history and apply it to our faithful neighbors, we arrive at a much less paternalistic conclusion. “God will provide,” may seem like an empty, refrigerator-magnet platitude to the non-devout but it is a theological truth to adherents of the Prosperity Gospel in Nigeria. When a majority of Muslims worldwide believe…

Citing ‘Matthew 25’ Isn’t a Viable Democratic Faith Outreach Strategy

By Daniel Schultz

…put it: When Pete Buttigieg launched his first statewide television ad in South Carolina two months ago, its opening lines may have sounded familiar to a churchgoer. The ad opens with footage from a speech by the former South Bend, Indiana, mayor in which Buttigieg says that if he’s elected president, Americans wouldn’t have to ask themselves, “Whatever happened to, ‘I was hungry and you fed me? I was a stranger and you welcomed me?’” Matthew 25!…

Irony Repeats Itself: Reconsidering Reinhold Niebuhr in the Trump Era

By Gary Dorrien

…liberalism and the civil rights movement. The Brown decision inflamed the South; the busing issue was singular and easily mitigated after the Montgomery boycott; Martin Luther King Jr. didn’t know what to try next; and President Eisenhower did nothing after the Brown decision came down, since he opposed it anyway. Niebuhr had the ear of Democratic candidate Adlai Stevenson, and he urged Stevenson to say nothing that outflanked Eisenhower on civil…

Islamophobia and Racism: Civil Rights at the Breaking Point

By Erik Love

…on to the relationships between primarily “immigrant Muslim” advocates and African-American and other “native Muslim” advocacy efforts. What are some of the biggest misconceptions about your topic? The biggest misconception about Islamophobia is that it affects Muslims exclusively. This stems from the term “Islamophobia,” which makes it sound like the source of the problem is an irrational fear of the religion. Of course, Muslims (and Islam—the re…

The Devil’s Music: How Christians Inspired, Condemned, and Embraced Rock ‘n’ Roll

By Eric C. Miller

…on the American South, I looked at the white Southern Baptist Convention, Southern Presbyterians, and Southern Pentecostals, and found that their reaction to rock was almost uniformly negative and very often racialized. They attacked rock as “jungle music,” “congo rhythms,” and “savagery.” In some cases this is ironic because these are some of the very things that Pentecostals were criticized for themselves—for race mixing and having “debased” mu…

RD Response to Fox Crit of White Supremacy in Yoga Engages in Victim Blaming

By Rumya Putcha

…As a whole, this exchange indicates that, for those of us who study modern South Asia and its diasporas, we still have a long way to go when it comes to effectively discussing how, after September 11, 2001 and rising to a fever pitch under the anti-immigration Trump administration, Brown South Asian bodies experience racism in ways that stand apart from the well-documented forms of systemic injustice that fall under the category of “Anti-Black” in…
