By Michael Schulson

…is underneath.” I had a similar experience when I was working on my first book, Communities of Violence. I was working on a massacre of Jews that happened in 1321.

However, such criticism misses the point. Or, more accurately, perhaps that is precisely what the fervently pro-Israel critics do to evade confronting the real issue. The basic narrative of Crisis i…

By Ed Simon

…cy to understand early Medieval Celtic Christianity as more mystical, more open-minded, more contemplative; to examine the intricate knotwork and colorful illustrations of the luminescent Book of Kells or to think of Patrick’s prayer wherein “I arise today/Through the strength of heaven” is to perhaps encounter a faith that seems naturally separate from the arid scholasticism and harsh rulings of the orthodox, even if that faith is more imagined t…

By Daniel Silliman

…ism in the 1960s and the 80s and the 90s and 2010. In 2010, writing as a 91-year-old, he believed this message was one of the most important things he could leave behind on this earth. In this book he says the signs are now clearer than ever. He’s written a lot of books, but five on apocalypticism? I don’t know that he’s covered any other topic in five books. At the same time, I want to be very clear: postwar evangelicalism grew far more diverse t…
