Why We Should Teach Theology in the Public University

By Jonathan Sheehan

…dvance the norms of one faith. Happily public universities are already well-equipped to deal with competing and plural norms. We do it all the time, in fact, especially in the humanities and social sciences. We teach particular topics (say, Aristotelian ethics or Woolfian aesthetics or Rawlsian political theory), not in order to produce a modern Aristotle or a new To the Lighthouse, or a new Justice as Fairness. Rather, we teach them in order to j…

Romney Accuses Obama of Stifling Religious Liberty

By Sarah Posner

…fellow conservatives. Now that he’s expected to be his party’s nominee, he feels compelled to take up its most potent religion crusade this year: the claim that religious institutions who are opposed to contraception should get a special exemption from the requirement of the Affordable Care Act that employers provide contraceptive coverage to their employees, free of co-pays. Even those religious institutions which have been, without complaint, pr…

Another Far Right Theocrat Shows up on the Trump Team

By Julie Ingersoll

…the promotion of hostility toward Muslims. Sekulow was predictable in his comments on the Comey hearings: divert attention to Comey’s alleged leak, assert that Comey vindicated Trump on issues of collusion, and so forth. More interesting to me is Sekulow’s appearance as a member of the President’s legal team. With no background as a defense attorney, Sekulow has a 30+ year track record in the forefront of religious right culture wars battles, oft…

“Charity saved the day… [but] charity isn’t enough”: Kate Bowler on This New Era

By The Editors

…shuttling me from one place to another or offering me a place to sleep. It feels like this is an era in which everyone has really high standards for what counts as correct thought—and I am one of them—but my insane dependence meant that I couldn’t be very picky about applying a litmus test for everyone’s thoughts, which is what everyone is doing around me. And that ended up being such a gift to me. I think it’s harder to see people’s humanity righ…

The Gospel of Contradiction: An Interview with Mary Gordon

By Nathan Schneider

…d that.” Of course, he did read the Gospels. But there is a cohort of very high-minded Jews who feel the Gospels are dangerous, and I understand that completely. I hope I can be trustworthy enough to the Jewish community that I can lead them to more familiarity with a very great text. A number of times you bring up Thomas Jefferson’s abridgement of the Gospels. He seems to be someone who, in some ways, you’re identifying with but also making very…

Rome Has Spoken and Rome Is Finished: The Vatican’s Sexual Abuse Summit ‘Failed Miserably’

By Mary E. Hunt

…y virtue of your moral role.” She recommended that the clerics turn over a new leaf with the new onslaught of information about the abuse of women in the church. This time, she counseled the institution to “play offense and not defense, as has happened in the case of the abuse of minors. It could be a great opportunity for the Church to take the initiative and be on the forefront of denouncing these abuses, which are not only sexual but also abuse…

Waiting for Lightning to Strike: A Wobbly Agnostic among the Atheists

By Carolyn S. Briggs

…t of big talk, a whole lot of bluster. It’s painful to live without connect-the-dots faith. It takes so much courage, I can’t tell you. The audience rises to their feet after this call to support the de-converted—the atheists are very supportive, I will say that. I lose count of the standing ovations throughout the convention. There is also much spontaneous laughter and many atheist jokes. Lot’s wife suffered a particularly cruel fate because she…

Can Religion Professors Save the Planet?

By Ivan Strenski

…-Together, For the Planet’s Sake“—about the American Academy of Religion’s new commitment to battling climate change. In Oppenheimer’s piece we learn that the president of the AAR, Laurie Zoloth, believes we should take a “sabbatical” from our annual national meetings by simply deciding not to meet every seventh year. The purpose of such a break from the rhythms of conventional academic life would be to lighten the carbon load on the planet, since…

“You’ve Never Met a Muslim”

By Hussein Rashid

…t is nearly inconceivable to imagine today, the biggest problem in our post-Communist, unipolar world seemed to be Monica Lewinsky. I had long planned to become a corporate lawyer. Two years later, I enrolled in law school only to leave within months. There were many reasons why, but among them was this: I could no longer go down the path I’d imagined, a quiet professional life in suburban America. This realization grew from the first impulse to g…

Storytime with David Brooks: In Which the Liberals’ Favorite Conservative Gets Lost in a Lily-White History

By Peter Laarman

…iral” under special providential protection, nonwhite Americans, and almost everyone outside our borders, see this New Israel behaving more like Old Egypt in its worship of wealth and power. Brooks ends his column with a wistful plea for a new Moses to come along to revive the Exodus template and “tell us what our goal is.” My plea is that someone will come along and tell Brooks what our actual history is – and how his kind of misty-eyed mythologi…
