Even if Biden Wins Will We Reckon With ‘Virtuous Republic Syndrome,’ the Persistent Belief that America is a Blessed Nation?

By Peter Laarman

…sentation? Why do 53% of white men still side with Trump, according to the latest Pew Research poll? And if white supremacy isn’t a real thing, why is the decennial census, upon which both Congressional representation and huge amounts of federal funding hinge, being openly sabotaged by Trump flunkies? Why has immigration basically been shut down? Why is the postal service being gutted when mail-in ballots will likely determine the election? Why is…

Is #MeToo Misogyny ‘Unbiblical’? Southern Baptist Women Test Limits of Biblical Inerrancy

By Karen E. Park

…ct the spurious claim to Biblical inerrancy when it suits them, as in this latest instance and with regard to divorce, shellfish, and tattoos, yet when it comes to same-sex marriage the Bible’s inerrancy appears to once again be in effect. Times have changed and they continue to change—what was once acceptable, is now recognized as unjust and wrong, and using the Bible to argue that means that the Bible is not an inerrant, inflexible document but…

It’s The Apocalypse, Stupid: Understanding Christian Opposition to Obamacare, Civil Rights, New Deal and More

By Daniel Silliman

…des, moral reform movements, and generations of political activism. In his latest book, Matthew Avery Sutton, a professor of history at Washington State University, traces this history of American evangelical apocalypticism from the end of the 19th century to the present day. In the process, he proposes a revised understanding of American evangelicalism, focused on the urgent expectations of the end of human history. If you want to understand mode…

Ending DADT = Draft?

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…them. Too bad that the military’s own survey of the troops show that this latest scare tactic from DADT opponents for what it really is: a lie. Leaked results of the military survey showed that 70 percent of soldiers said they “expected positive, mixed or non-existent effects from lifting the ban.” Since the survey doesn’t show the results Perkins and others like Arizona Senator John McCain want – then the survey must be flawed. ”[T]his study was…

Which is the ‘Real’ Reality?: Doctor Who Part IV

By Henry Jenkins

…ppropriate—whether directed toward ourselves or towards others. And so the latest episode of Doctor Who challenges us to reflect not only on the nature of reality and how to identify it, but on the question of what images we make of God (mentally more often than physically), and to recognize that the mask that constitutes our image of God usually bears a striking resemblance to ourselves. Henry Jenkins__________ When The Doctor ‘wakes up’ in the…

Sarah Palin and the Politics of Victimization

By Randall Balmer

…the while keeping abreast of Antonin Scalia’s dissenting opinions and the latest from University of Chicago economist Luigi Zingales? (The book tosses out these references with an air of insouciance, as in “I came across a wonderful book…”) Perhaps Palin herself is, in fact, conversant with these sources, and, if so, more power to her. But we should probably remind ourselves that this is the same person who, during the 2008 presidential campaign,…

RDPulpit: I Am Not A Number: Gays and Lesbians and Opinion Polls

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…we’re statistics—the subject of a poll question—we’re not real people. The latest poll among polls about the lives of theoretical gay people comes from Public Religion Research and shows a majority of Americans are for granting some manner of legal recognition to gay unions, either marriage (29 percent) or civil unions (28 percent). Younger respondents, between the ages of 18 and 34, strongly support marriage equality (46 percent) while 23 percent…

Donald Trump visits a black church. It goes about as well as you would expect.

By Daniel Schultz

…repared remarks to begin with. Add all of that in with some cards with the latest attack lines on them and no intuitive sense of how to behave in a church, and the result is disaster. Rev. Timmons shares a bit of the blame, to be honest. You might think that a candidate wouldn’t bash a rival in a speech at a church about sharing water, but Donald Trump, as has been pointed out so many times before, is not exactly like any other candidate. And if y…

New Poll Shows Strong Catholic Support for Gay Rights

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ve played a large role in opposing same-sex marriage issues, including the latest attempt to pass marriage equality in Maryland. “They’re not going to be distracted by any polls and certainly not what the laity says about these things. We’ll certainly see a lot of activism on the part of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops to try to keep at bay the move toward increasing laws favoring same-sex marriage,” Dillon said. Another surprise in th…

Where Were They Radicalized? No Answer is Complete Without Addressing Evangelical Churches and Schooling

By Chrissy Stroop

…those who’ve been following events closely, that denunciation of policies promoting racial equality will likely recall the Trump administration’s twisted 1776 Report, which the White House released on Martin Luther King Day—Monday, January 18—as a clear racist dog whistle. The “report” emphasizes the American founders’ supposed insistence that faith in God is necessary for good citizenship and decries “globalists,” “multiculturalists,” and propon…
