How to Die in America: A Conversation with Ann Neumann

…n Press February 16, 2016 This lack of knowledge of how death comes is now compounded by a general health care crisis. The American population has grown older than ever before; our heath care system has not taught itself to address pain and suffering at the end of life or even conversations about terminal diagnoses and death. There are not enough gerontologists to meet the needs of elders. And seniors are being financially devastated by the costs…

Toward a Zombie Theology

…ntists, philosophers, and theologians alike. Perhaps if more theologians become comfortable with engaging the texts of popular culture, including the fantastic genres of horror, science fiction, and fantasy, then we might discover examples of what Peter Berger called “signals of transcendence,” windows into the divine or the sacred in the mundane things of life.

There’s No Business Like the Bible Business: 200 Years of the ABS

…Bibles, sold at cost and distributed through “branch societies,” and thus undercut competitors. If you wanted notes, commentary, or maps, you would have to look elsewhere; the ABS focused on sola scriptura, with the faith that the words alone, guided by the Holy Spirit, would effect transformations in the lives of individuals. If there’s one thing that American Protestants are good at, it is mass producing and distributing religious material, be…

Is the Bible Too Holy to Be Tennessee’s State Book?

…e to the state’s copper industry. But state symbol designations can also become deeply partisan. Last year, student-led efforts to have Idaho recognize the Giant Salamander as the state amphibian ran into resistance from legislators who feared the designation might result in “potential federal overreach” in the form of mandated protection for the non-endangered blotchy beast from Coeur d’Alene. (The legislature revisited the salamander later in th…

Why Trumpvangelicals Don’t Need Ted Cruz: Conservative Christianity’s Authoritarian Streak

…homogeneity, are in full inquisition mode. Administrations are policing boundaries, identifying and rejecting outsiders, and enforcing order by purging professors over evolution, same-sex marriage, and other matters, as I have written about in these pages, even as they scramble to obtain Title IX waivers so that they can continue to receive federal funding while discriminating against members of the LGBTQ community in housing and hiring.

Do Dogs Have a Soul?: Taking “Creaturely” Life Seriously

…ng creature, however, Dayan illuminates how her physical contact with dogs tests the boundaries of her knowledge of spiritual things. In evoking the way that dogs teach her about the life of the spirit, Dayan attributes to dogs what many refuse to attribute to anyone but human beings: something like spirit, a mind, or a soul. (Dayan is not particularly dogmatic about terms.) Many assume that the exclusion of other animals from spiritual things, or…

Trump Speaker Says Bernie “Gotta Get Saved… Gotta Meet Jesus”

…it does not doubt that God can save Jews through sovereign grace, without comment on conversion. Protestants have gone further, affirming explicitly that God’s covenant with the nation of Israel stands. More important, American Christian laypeople are generally what you might call “practical henotheists”: that is, they believe their brand of religion is the right one, but they refrain from judging other paths.

ABC’s Hit Sitcom Black-ish Does God, Pushes Theological Respectability

…godless, European wannabe uncle on the couch with a glass of wine—outside community and bound to non-black opinions.

Good, upstanding, community-minded people believe! Within the context of thirty minutes, questioning the existence of God, or den

Come Hell or High Water: How the Melodrama of Disaster Leaves Us Vulnerable

…isasters’ effects will be dulled, and that the disasters themselves will become boring. This may seem like common sense, but Clarke and Dercon’s argument isn’t just that governments need to plan more—it’s that this melodramatic theater of the apocalypse, the whole genre of disaster-as-entertainment, actually makes it harder for citizens and governments to take the steps they need to prepare for catastrophe. The problem is that people don’t want du…
