By Arri Eisen

…tment by so-called ‘animal rights extremists’; how after the fire-bomb incident (the bomb was accidentally left on the wrong scientist’s doorstep), for fear of his and his family’s safety, he discontinued his animal research; how he is speaking up now, three years later, because “we’re getting awfully close to the situation where somebody may be killed.

…ding abortion. Koop went on to become Surgeon General of the United States under President Reagan. Rushdoony argued that biblical law—especially Old Testament Levitical law—superseded the Constitution and Bill of Rights, as well as federal and state laws.

Religion is Not about Belief: Karen Armstrong’s The Case for God

By Brian McGrath Davis

…od is not (doing so would be to directly place a limitation upon God), one denies the denial: God is neither perfect nor imperfect. Pseudo-D’s exercise, thus, “leads us to apophasis, the breakdown of speech, which cracks and disintegrates before the absolute unknowability of what we call God.” With an apophatic approach to God, the theologian is guided toward an appreciation of the limits of God-talk, practices humility, and realizes that, when it…

Haiti and the Push for Theological Questions

By Paula M. Cooey

…ientific causes. (Immanuel Kant, for example, attributed the earthquake to underground caves filling with gases.) Most folks found either of these approaches less than satisfactory. Today some historians see the Lisbon earthquake as signaling the end of the optimism of the European Enlightenment and the beginning of the anxiety and emotional excessiveness of Romanticism. “If this is the best of all possible worlds, what are the others?” Perhaps th…

Telling the World a ‘Big Story’: RD in Conversation with Karen Armstrong

By Laurie Patton

…emy and outside of it. What drew you to the big stories, and how did you become comfortable writing them? And relatedly, might the Charter for Compassion be a kind of plea for us to tell ourselves a different kind of “big story?” Well, I am an academic outcast. I wanted to become a professor of English Literature but failed to achieve this. And I think it was a good thing because, as you so rightly say, I am drawn to the Big Story, which is not in…

RDBook: Sex, Power, and the Future of the World: An Interview with Michelle Goldberg

By Mandy Van Deven

…always the most absorbing to me. There are several of them in this book. Being in India and seeing the way sex-selective abortion is both devaluing women and sowing the seeds of demographic catastrophe really challenged some of my deeply held beliefs about the primacy of reproductive choice. Also, when I started writing this book, I didn’t take fears about European population decline that seriously—they seemed to me to be rooted in racism and a f…

…e, it’s just going to be more dangerous.” Uhlmann, who took part in the protest despite being pregnant, gave voice to a reason why bicycling is a matter of principle to many cyclists. “With the way the world is going,” she said, “when we’re trying to be more environmentally conscious, to not encourage biking and make it safe for people to bike is unfortunate.” A 23-year-old “Jane of all trades extraordinaire,” who goes by xxLylaDurdeNxx on Candy R…

By Michael A. Elliott

…they that they will allow us to dabble in a variety of faith traditions—to test the waters without committing a large investment of time or money, and without risk of public exposure. Thanks to the interactivity available in a smartphone application, we can all become religious dilettantes. A Pew Forum study published last year found that half of all American adults changed their religious affiliation before the age of 24. The iPhone is only going…

The Left Behind: Why Are White American Christians So Racist?

By Daniel Schultz

…that. Obviously, there aren’t too many white churches where people sit around on Sunday morning talking about ways to do a racism in the coming week. There are explicitly white supremacist leaders and communities, but they are blessedly few and far between. What’s more of a problem are the “partially self-transcendent” Christians, in Niebuhr’s terms. Those are the people who can see beyond their own limitations—a bit. They can understand that the…
