Christian Nationalism Was the Loser of Tuesday’s Debate

By Chrissy Stroop

…from the King James Version: “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” https://twitter.com/ewarren/status/1232503545120935936 It is not at all a bad thing if, alongside the full recognition of the dignity and equality of non-believers, the Democratic Party embraces leaders who find personal meaning in passages of the Bible associated with social justice Christianity, in sharp contrast to the…

How a Stars and Stripes Hijab on ‘Rupaul’s Drag Race’ Reveals America’s Troubling Relationship to Gender, Ethnicity and ‘That’ Religion

By Megan Goodwin and Ilyse Morgenstein Fuerst

…d on our “Religion Is Not Done with You” episode, we also know that Muslim-coded people don’t get to opt out of Islam: “Arab-looking” folks, folks with “Muslim-sounding” names, Sikhs in turbans, folks who dress in “Muslim garb,” all get read as Muslim. Identifying as atheist doesn’t get anyone who can be read as Muslim out of “totally random” TSA pat downs. This is how we racialize Islam, distilling a billion-person millenium-old global religion i…

Hey Hey, Ho Ho White Jesus Has to Go… But The Issue is More Complicated Than You Think

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…related to the increase of Africans as coerced labor throughout the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas. As we call for the removal and replacing of white Jesus, it must be recognized that the depiction of Jesus as white need not necessarily be present to have a white supremacist theology. If Christianity is still coupled to a white supremacist theology, it may remove the icons of Jesus as white while still performing the functions of white supr…

Conservative Evangelical Eric Metaxas, Doing Twitter Theology, Claims ‘Jesus Was White’

By Eric Vanden Eykel

…, Metaxas isn’t the first to depict Jesus as something other than a Middle-Eastern man, and it’s a well-known fact that artists frequently take enormous liberties when they paint Jesus as a subject. Frank Wesley often depicted Jesus as having blue skin, for example, like the Hindu deities Shiva, Rama, and Krishna. Janet McKenzie’s “Jesus of the People” seems to depict Jesus as both genderfluid and mixed-race. Warner Sallman’s “Head of Christ,” pos…

In the Story of the New Testament We Are the Romans—No Matter Who Wins the Election

By Stephen Hinerman

…e statues were less about honoring the Civil War dead than they were about promoting 20th century white supremacy). In some ways, it’s not all that different from the ideas that sold people on the first Crusade back in the 11th century. And it’s not all that different from the story we tell ourselves today, every time we enter another country for their “own good.” Sure, we went into Iraq on the basis of false information about WMDs. But in the rhe…

Dems Need More Faith, Episode LXXI: The Beer Caucus Proposal

By Daniel Schultz

…the Northwest, Grain Belt in Minnesota, the Sam Adams patriots in the Northeast! Dems are leaving an awful lot of support on the table simply because they’re not willing to chug swill like Scott Walker on a Miller bender. What’s that you say? You say a beer caucus is a terrible idea? You say talking incessantly about alcohol would turn off many non-drinkers? You say plenty of Democratic politicians have been known to knock back a cold one, even th…

‘Murder Among the Mormons’ Ep 2 Recap: A Family Man With a Wild Side

By Benjamin E. Park

…e was responsible for killing two innocent people, and likely intended at least a third victim. Seeing him bouncing a child on his knee and hearing the calming voice of a loving wife, then, offers a seemingly idyllic home life that we don’t like to associate with serial murderers. Americans typically like their villains clear-cut, the black hats of a morality play. But what makes Hofmann’s story so haunting is his chameleon persona, a living Rorsc…

Decolonizing Jewish Studies Part II: A Response to the Backlash

By Gilah Kletenik and Rafael Rachel Neis

…ocumentary access. Scholars of Jewish cultures in North Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia, continue to redress these lacunae. Racism, cisheteronormativity, ableism, and classism pervade all academic disciplines. Particular to Jewish Studies is its conferral of authority on people it qualifies as “Jewish.” We’ve benefited from this privilege and also from being Ashkenazi. We worry that an imagined continuity between contemporary “Jewish” sc…

Are We Seeing the End of the ‘Good Arabs’ in Israel?

By Shaul Magid

…se in the West Bank, in this case around the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in East Jerusalem where the government is considering evicting Arab residents because of a legal claim that Jews originally resided there, thus making that property “Jewish.” This has been going on for decades but has heated up as the government has sent the case to the Israeli Supreme Court, and far-right Parliamentarians have decided to embrace this as a cause. In addition,…

Strange Bedfellows: The American Far-Right and Today’s Jihad Do Have Something in Common — Just Not What You Think

By Suzanne Schneider

…mystique by gesturing at the origins of reactionary movements in structural forces that are global in nature, however unevenly experienced. Perhaps most hopefully, this exercise also indicates the type of policy shifts and cross-cultural alliances that are needed in this moment. At the very least, surveying the disastrous effects of the Global War on Terror should short-circuit any temptation to wage a domestic counterpart. The pursuit of security…
