By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…ion of Teryn Koloff was very effective, a balance to Victoria Koloff’s over-the-top concern with young Christian women’s sexual behavior. (I should probably say “TV Victoria Koloff,” because again, we don’t have access to the untelevised personae of any of these people.)

By Benjamin Weiner

…w more secure. And as for Iran, negotiators and hardliners are running neck-and-neck. The stakes are high.

However, land-grant universities, unlike colleges founded by scores o…

How Contemporary Spirituality Makes Us Stupid, Selfish, and Unhappy

By David Webster

…erested me. Thinking about my aggressive grumpiness led me to read lots of new-age and mind-body-spirit catalogues. This didn’t help. In many ways I became more and more annoyed by some of the materials and adverts that I encountered. However, I was convinced that these cultural phenomena were worthy of critical investigation. My annoyance really peaked when I read through these catalogues, and saw that the endless sessions advertised in them all…

Bipolar Faith, an Autobiography of Race and Mental Illness

By Monica A. Coleman

…messages about what is required for faith, or how to understand stress vis-a-vis blessings, that diminish the very real experience of living with a mental health challenge. Did you have a specific audience in mind when writing? In many ways, I wrote this book for myself and the people who love me. I imagined the book would be meaningful for people who live with depression and/or bipolar, especially people who are also of faith. I also imagined th…

These gifts/practices include healings, exorcism, speaking and interpretation of tongues, words of wisdom, and prophetic utterances.

…early operating out of a restrictive and toxic understanding of masculinity-as-domination that I reject entirely, so who cares about meeting their standards? Now, let’s watch a lecture by bell hooks on Picture Picture.” But having read Rogers’ actual words… well, I don’t know. He may not have gotten there. Long was kind enough to engage some of these questions over email from Elizabethtown College, where he teaches. If you’ve not read Peaceful Nei…

Do Evangelicals Oppose Syria Intervention?

By Stephen V. Anderson

…hould Congress authorize direct U.S. military intervention in Syria?” Sixty-two and a half percent said “no.” Thirty-seven and a half percent said “yes.” Anderson noted that he “was surprised because I expected the answers would be the other way around.” That surprise might be justified. The survey and the results thereof, since reported widely, reveal nothing or at best very little about the points of view of evangelical leaders and those they re…

The Benedict Opt-Out: Why Christian Self-Isolation Won’t Work

By Kaya Oakes

…evolve along with our humanity. And that evolution may not only include a new openness to relationships, but also to Christians’ relationships with the growing number of Nones. Christians who self-isolate will miss out on the opportunity to know, learn from, and perhaps even to love some of the Americans who have thought the hardest and longest about religion and its role in their lives. Jesus, after all, did not lead his disciples away from the…
