The Role of Faith in the Lives of Abortion Providers

By Sarah Posner

…r clinic escort (or as she describes it, “peacekeeper”) at a clinic on the south side of Chicago, told me this week. “To think that he was murdered inside a church really brought it home to me.” Doctors and other staff at clinics are heroes, she emphasized, “making sure women are at peace with this decision, making sure they know what they are doing, and that everything is safe for them.” A doctor I spoke with this week, who is Catholic and provid…

The Gospel Gestalt: From Joyful Noise to Whitney Houston

By Douglas Harrison

…and historical forces—religious and secular, black and white, northern and southern, here and abroad. Some of these confluences have carved out deep channels of recognizable musical expression that have historically been talked about—whether implicitly or explicitly—in terms of race (black gospel, Southern gospel, white gospel convention singing, and so on). But gospel has always been more racially complex and culturally polyvocal than most narrat…

More than Half of Mississippi GOP Primary Voters Believe the President is Muslim

By Sarah Posner

…t since evangelical anti-Mormonism is thought to be more pronounced in the South. But it did ask whether they believe President Obama is a Christian, and only 14% did, with 45% saying they believe he is a Muslim. These numbers are more pronounced among evangelicals, with only 9% of evangelical likely Republican voters in Alabama believing the president is a Christian. Fifty percent—half of all the voters in the Alabama GOP primary—believe the pres…

Religious Right Elites Still Looking for a Candidate

By Sarah Posner

…Take note: McCain benefitted from the splitting of the evangelical vote in South Carolina, a phenomenon that could work to Romney’s advantage this time around. The fascinating thing about the upcoming Texas meeting is that many of the same players tried playing this game last summer, and came up with Rick Perry. Those meetings, incidentally, led to his big prayer rally The Response, held a week before he announced his candidacy (in South Carolina)…

Or Just a Great Reading List

By Haroon Moghul

…e was a profoundly influential poet, philosopher, and political thinker in South Asia and the Muslim-majority world, but he is largely unknown outside Muslim conversations. Second caveat: This is not a book that will be easily accessible for those to whom contemporary Islamic thought, or South Asian philosophy, are familiar subjects. Nevertheless, the subject of this work, since Muhammad Iqbal has had a profound impact on contemporary Islam, far o…

Perry v. Romney Showdown Tonight

By Joanna Brooks

…if Perry gets evangelical Christian conservatives, the Tea Party, and the South—although not without a fight and not by decisive margins? Can Romney still win? Polls from South Carolina this week show he’s only up by 3 points over Romney. (Even in Texas, Perry’s approval ratings are only 45%.) Romney gets GOP elites and establishment, the Northeast, the West, independents (in open primary states), and everyone who has the foresight to worry about…

Beyond Alarmism and Denial in the Dominionism Debate

By Anthea Butler

…a student in the early 1990s. He had had a career on the mission field in South America before coming to Fuller, and what brought him there was a book he had written about his time as a missionary called Look out! The Pentecostals are coming. That book chronicled what he termed the “move of the Holy Spirit” in the world today, and that the healing and deliverance ministries of Pentecostalism would reform the church. Wagner is not a theologian—and…

…ording to The Atlantic’s Garance Franke-Ruta. Apparently the next state is South Carolina. In a comment on his Facebook page, Waldron said he would soon be in Columbia and cover the state. Evangelicals in South Carolina will have a tough choice between Perry, who recently hosted a prayer meeting in Houston where over 30,000 evangelicals attended, and Bachmann, who has made her faith a central part of her campaign. The distinction offered by Waldro…
