Prophecy and Prosperity are Keys to Republican Christian Nationalism According to New Poll

By Daniel Schultz

…a societal change not limited to any one creed, age, or race. Everyone is experiencing disaffiliation, albeit at different rates. That point cannot be separated from how we understand Christian nationalism and the MAGA base. The next part of the equation is trickier to describe. As RD recently reported, Republican churchgoers are more likely than other members of the GOP to be Christian nationalism adherents or sympathizers. It might appear, then,…

Beck Condemns “Bigotry for Sport” in New York

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…I think before we go any further as a nation, it’s time that we honestly examine ourselves. And to have a complete honest examination, we need to hear both the worst and the best. Hatred is growing in this country. Darkness is growing. […] A phrase keeps running through my mind: For the love of man shall wax cold because inequity shall abound. The love of man shall wax cold. How does someone do this to another human being? While it’s heartening t…

Exodus “Ex-Gay” Ministry Closes Up Shop

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…n them. But, and most significantly, Chambers also delivered the dramatic news that Exodus would be shutting its doors. Earlier this year, in an appearance at the Gay Christian Network conference, Chambers admitted that “99.9%” of those in ex-gay ministries never change their sexual orientation. A short time later Chambers swore that Exodus would no longer use “reparative therapy,” or the notion that you can “pray away the gay,” in their programs…

Time for Jews to Abandon the Old Foundation Myth of Israel?

By Ira Chernus

…prejudge their outcome.” Behind those measured words hides a potentially explosive message: It is time for Jews to abandon the old foundation myth in favor of a new one. That’s clear just by considering what it means to enter “substantive” negotiations without attempting to prejudge their outcome. The goal must be an actual settlement of the conflict, one that improves the situation for one’s own side; in this case, for Israel, which is exactly w…

Trump’s Fear and Loathing Won’t Silence The Nation’s Sole LGBT Muslim Organization

By Omar Sarwar

…have. Rather than managing fear, I am working on managing the amount of toxic news I am taking in, focusing heavily on growing my personal strength, faith, and connections to those I love so that I can continue—and be better in—my work. Tynan: As a transgender American Muslim, I’m acutely aware that the Trump administration has put forward both anti-Muslim and anti-trans rhetoric and policies. Beyond actual policy changes, the impact of the rheto…

First U.S. Visit of the Virgin Mary Confirmed in Wisconsin

By Lewis Wallace

…shrine saw an unprecedented number of people. Visitors from as far away as New Mexico wandered onto the grounds, with several walking into the Tipps’ home assuming it was a visitor center. The shrine rented a port-a-john in order to have enough bathroom space, but it was quickly blown over by winter winds. Asked if she is happy about the developments, Tipps laughs. “We’re kind of being a little bit selfish because we’re like oh, gosh, we don’t rea…

New Southern Baptist Curriculum Bashes Gays

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…speaks against the current culture’s lie that a person can enjoy casual sex. There is no casual sex in God’s view. One-flesh unions are created in sex, either as a beautiful thing in marriage or as a grotesque thing like a Frankenstein monster apart from marriage. Such is the ugliness of homosexuality. Besides the offensiveness of comparing loving, committed same-sex relationships to a “grotesque” Frankenstein monster, the unit also cites data (a…

Sex and the Chosen People: Be Fruitful and Multiply, Etc.

By Mandy Van Deven

…rd look at what is, and what could be, in terms of Jewish thinking about sex and sexuality. In order to do this, I needed people who absolutely knew their stuff, who could bring out the big guns both in terms of Jewish text and tradition, but also in terms of innovative thinking about gender, sex, and sexuality, who could marry a number of different lenses to create something new. It’s not a strictly academic work by any means; it’s meant to be ac…

Chris Caldwell Sees Muslim Bogeymen. Again.

By Bruce B. Lawrence

…ed for xenophobia, he suggests, should instead be praised. Not content to extol Enoch Powell and Marie Le Pen for their ‘insight,’ Caldwell excoriates Dutch, British, and Scandinavian parliamentarians but especially [the recently defeated] President Sarkozy of France for their concessions to ‘diversity.’ So one should not be surprised to learn that the two books he chose to review are Europe’s Angry Muslims: The Revolt of the Second Generation by…

Year-End Best Books in Race and Religion in American History

By Paul Harvey

…ntellectual Ta-Nehisi Coates, and the pessimistic take that he powerfully explores in Between the World and Me. A parallel perspective (but one more deeply rooted in African American religious thought) emerges in Eddie Glaude’s Democracy in Black: How Race Enslaves the American Soul. This work comes from the Princeton religious studies scholar known particularly for deep works on nineteenth-century history. Here, however, he looks at the present a…
