Hagee and Others See
End Times in North African Revolutions

By Joanna Brooks

…eets of Jerusalem for three days?” a close friend asked me, referring to a sign-of-the-times prophecy popular among LDS people. She smiled, but she was only half-joking. Witness Pastor John Hagee instruct his followers that the Libyan Revolution “proves the absolutely accuracy of Bible Prophecy: Thousands of years ago the prophet Ezekial told us exactly which nations in the Middle East would join forces to start a major war. What you’re seei…

2010: What Did We Believe In?

By Gary Laderman

…to be reckoned with and has myriad forms of expression, commitment, moral codes, and values—just like global Christianity. In the U.S., Muslims are increasingly part of the social landscape, with mosques, community centers, and public figures (including the first Muslim Miss America and the easy reelection of one of the two Muslim members of Congress) who contribute to the fabulous religious mosaic that characterizes the best of American values….

In Speech to White Evangelical Broadcasters, Trump Lays Out his White Christian Nationalist Vision

By Robert P. Jones

…es to a pluralistic democracy. The venue for this early campaign stop was, significantly, the annual meeting of the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) in Nashville on February 22nd. While the name sounds broadly religious, NRB was created by leaders of communications outlets that operate specifically in the White evangelical world. According to its website, NRB, founded in 1944, “exists to represent the Christian broadcasters’ right to communic…

The Supreme Court Cleared the Way for the ‘President-King’—The Right’s Prize for 50 Years of Planning

By Annika Brockschmidt

…eory” would ever truly get close to the spheres of respectability. But the signs were there. In 2019, former Trump Attorney General Bill Barr praised the very same unitary executive theory in front of members of the Federalist Society. Journalists like Vox’s Ian Millhiser have warned that the current right-wing majority of the Supreme Court has signaled sympathy for the “theory” multiple times over the last couple of years. And indeed, last Monday…

How To Talk To “Nones” and Influence People: Rob Bell’s Transrational Experience

By Brook Wilensky-Lanford

…ge them, or expect allegiance like an institution would. After lunch, Bell signed copies of the book. The long line moved slowly, because Bell spent time with everyone, autographing, chatting, posing for photographs. Like Oprah. And as with Oprah, there was something cozy about this process. Bell would chalk this feeling up to the “living room” atmosphere he’s created. Part of it is what I’ve been doing for 25 years, but now I can control the setu…

Note to the New Pope: Half of the World’s Poor are Women

By Marian Ronan

…. In some respects, the election of Cardinal Bergoglio is a very promising sign. As an archbishop from the most populous Catholic continent on Earth, Latin America, the new Pope Francis I symbolizes a shift that has been a very long time coming, from Eurocentrism to the Church of the Global South. Not to mention his reputation as an advocate for the poor, emphasizing the Christian Gospel of love, washing the feet of AIDS victims, and more. The new…

October “Baby” is a Grown Woman

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…and even a university official giving a speech. The unnamed hospital has a sign that says “Hospital.” But it isn’t really universal, is it? It depicts what abortion would be like if women were all beautiful, tragic figures, living in a world run by men who treated them with, not respect, but a kind of indulgent kindness. Well, okay. In the real world of policy, poverty, pregnancy complications, and domestic violence are often important factors too…

The Journalist and the Bishops: CNS Editor Fired For Tweeting Opposition to LGBT Discrimination

By Patricia Miller

…rvative Catholic bishops have pushed employees of Catholic institutions to sign what are in effect loyalty oaths that promise to monitor the Twitter accounts and Facebook pages of employees of Catholic institutions. It’s hard to image senior officials at the USCCB ignoring the editor-in-chief of the CNS publicly contradicting the conference’s stated position, especially as bishops in states like North Carolina have backed the bathroom bills and co…

A Note To Churches During Pride: If You’re Not LGBTQ-Affirming, Keep Your Water

By Chrissy Stroop

…sly large banner proclaiming hellfire, someone follows him with a trolling sign that reads e.g. “This guy needs a hobby.” No, I’m more concerned about the Christians who definitely believe that same-sex relationships and transgender identities are sinful, but who deliberately obscure their harmful views beneath messaging focused on love, or even on “apologizing” to LGBTQ individuals for the mistreatment we’ve suffered at the hands of Christians. I…

Beck, Hagee, and Lieberman Band Together to Fuel Armageddon Panic

By Sarah Posner

…. On the one hand, he was ardently opposed to the Oslo peace accords Rabin signed; on the other, he makes sure to tell the reader how the two met on several occasions and that the late Prime Minister appreciated the televangelist’s “support” for Israel. But, as the subtitle of the book makes clear, the most important thing about Rabin’s assassination at the hands of a Jewish extremist is, in Hagee’s view, its role in setting biblical prophecy “on…
