Greek Abbot Arrested for Role in Financial Scandal

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…had hammered it out, thereby enabling the Greeks to pay off their debt to French and German banks at fifty cents on the euro. The shock of this unexpected proposal caused Papandreiou’s almost immediate resignation, and the austerity measures he was forced to impose are almost sure to bring down the left-center coalition of PASOK in the next Greek elections. But there are other details brewing here, some of which we have also reported at RD, and…

Greece Must Suffer for Redemption: A Nietzschean Reading

By Stephanie Frank

…ce to be pushed out of the single currency to put the fear of God into the French and have them accept his model of a disciplinarian eurozone.” That is, he suggested that the extreme terms were a political ploy to consolidate Germany’s power in Europe. I would propose a different approach to the question. In his Genealogy of Morals, Friedrich Nietzsche argues that we inhabit a way of thinking in which ‘debt’ and ‘guilt’ are intertwined—and sufferi…

Neither Radical Nor Secular: The West Struggles with the New Islamism

…tice, corruption, unemployment, and political repression organized in such numbers that Zine El Abidine Ben Ali fled the country on 14 January 2011, effectively ending 23 years of his presidency. During this time, protests spread to Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Yemen, and Jordan.

In Speech to Religious Broadcasters William Barr Warns of Secular Tyranny, Promotes Christian Tyranny

By Chrissy Stroop

…r is twisting Tocqueville in his attempt to marshal the nineteenth-century French observer of American democracy in support of his view that moral behavior is impossible without religion. A claim, by the way, that is entirely fact-free. And Seidel is certainly correct that Sessions and Barr go much further than the Founding Fathers in claiming, as Barr did in his NRB speech, that moral values “must flow from a transcendent Supreme Being.” Despite…

“Muslim Gospel” Revealing the “Christian Truth” Excites the Da Vinci Code Set

By Annette Yoshiko Reed

…e Gospel of Barnabas take form? Among Western scholars, the editors of the French translation are alone in maintaining some connection with the ancient “Jewish-Christian” traditions cited by Toland. Even they, however, agree that its current form does not date to the lifetime of the apostle Barnabas in the first century or to any time prior to the Council of Nicaea in the fourth century. Parallels with Dante and other anachronisms preclude a date…

Rep. Kinzinger Rejects Judgmental Family Letter But He’s No Cure for Evangelical GOP Authoritarianism

By Chrissy Stroop

…is fellow “respectable” evangelicals Michael Gerson, Ed Stetzer, and David French are. He’s made it clear that he’s as anti-choice as they come, after all, and that he approves of the current Supreme Court, which threatens not just abortion access but also civil rights for all marginalized groups. For Kinzinger to call this illegitimately packed court “good for Christianity” is at the very least to speak out of both sides of his mouth, and to give…

The Facts About ‘Sharia’ May Surprise You

By Sumbul Ali-Karamali

…lonial state apparatus and adopted new legal systems, usually based on the French civil-law system. Because these repressive post-colonial Muslim governments were secular, opposition to them naturally formed under the banner of Islam. The post-colonial Muslim governments, seeking legitimacy and trying to deflate Islamist opposition movements, began ostensibly “implementing shariah law,” which has, in actuality, amounted to cherry-picking bits of I…

Religion and Science: Toward a Postmodern Truce

By Philip Clayton

…ul at first. But it quickly deteriorated into a war fully as bloody as the French Revolution. Thus Andrew Dickson White rightly characterized the modern period as A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom. Christopher Hitchens is only reflecting the prejudices of his generation when he expresses his hatred of religion in God is Not Great: “Religion has caused innumerable people not just to conduct themselves no better than o…

Will This Relic Change Our Whole View of Early American History?

By Ed Simon

…t indeed the first Protestant services were not held by the English but by French Huguenots in 1564 at Fort Caroline (today St. Augustine Florida). In understanding the complexity of early American religion one also needs to take into account the presence of Yoruba and Igbo believers, as well as Muslims, first brought into the English speaking colonies as African slaves a decade after Archer died. One should also consider the intricacies in New En…
