An Ecumenical Moment: Cesar Chavez & the 3 Faiths

“All Jews, Christians and Moslems, the spiritual heirs of those slaves freed from Egyptian bondage, are bound by that law, whether they live in the Middle East, in New York — or in California.” Rabbi Joseph B. Glaser (Food & Justice, July 1986, 11). We are about a week away from the start of Hispanic Heritage month. However, lately in my reading I have been somewhat focused on Jewish-Christian-Muslim relations. How could I possibly write about all the above? I... Read more

Teaching History in Hard Times: Denominational Colleges

This week I’m engaging in a time-honored academic tradition: gathering with other scholars as we share our research through reading papers, and as we problem-solve challenges in our disciplines through workshops and panels. It’s a history conference. This time it is in one of the most beautiful places one could imagine doing scholarship—Rosario Beach, a marine life study center on the coast of Washington near the San Juan Islands. But the conversations are running fast and deep as we sit... Read more

Feminists, Lost Gospels, And A Lost History Of Christianity

Last updated on: September 3, 2025 at 12:46 pm By Philip Jenkins

0 Comments

My current series of posts concerns what I call the first discovery of lost gospels and scriptures, which became a major force in both scholarship and religious life at the turn of the twentieth century – the start of that century, rather than the end.. Today, I look at a critical component of this sweeping cultural change, namely the vital role played by esoteric movements, and especially the Theosophical Society. To oversimplify, the ideas they presented in the late nineteenth... Read more

Theology, History, and Contexts for Reading Well

Stepping under the 13th-century painted ceiling from the chancel of the church in Ål housed in Oslo’s Historical Museum is a breathtaking experience for a medievalist. The space is small, probably only 15 feet by 30 feet. The community that worshipped in this space was also small: while it is difficult to figure out exact population numbers, the entire population of Norway at the time was only a few hundred thousand people. Ål was not a major metropolitan center and... Read more

The Rediscovery, and Re-Forgetting, of the Lost Gospels

Last updated on: August 30, 2025 at 4:19 pm By Philip Jenkins

0 Comments

I have been describing the abundant discovery of lost scriptures and gospels from the later nineteenth century, which is long before the time that most people think they became available. In fact, not only were such texts “found” after long periods of disappearance, but most were brought out in accessible vernacular translations. The pace of publication was deeply impressive, with scarcely a break from the 1880s through the 1930s. If you were interested in such matters, and had some middle-class... Read more

James Dobson’s Death Was the End of an Era

Last updated on: August 25, 2025 at 4:14 pm By Daniel K. Williams

James Dobson’s death last week marked the end of a particular era in conservative evangelical politics. It was certainly not the end of the Christian Right, but it was the conclusion of a particular phase of it, because it was the death of the last evangelical leader who was a direct orchestrator of the Sunbelt-centered marriage of Reagan Republicanism and the culture wars that occurred in the late 1970s. For those who want to know more about Dobson’s career, I... Read more

John Mark Comer, Penal Substitution, and Evangelical Power

Last updated on: August 26, 2025 at 11:39 am By Joey Cochran

0 Comments

Reformed Evangelical Concerns About Comer Escalate Over a hot summer August weekend in 2025, evangelicals on X engaged in a lively conversation about crucicentrism when Denny Burk went after John Mark Comer for his views on Penal-Substitutionary Atonement (PSA). Burk expressed less immediate concern with the biblical, theological, and social implications of Andrew Remington Rillera’s recent publication, Lamb of the Free (Wipf and Stock, 2024), which Comer lauded in an Instagram post as the “knock out blow to PSA [penal-substitutionary...

When I was in college, my Southern Baptist church back home went through a years-long conflict over musical styles in church. While the particulars of my church’s situation were unique, the battle lines in their iteration of the “worship wars” were drawn in similar places: the propriety of drums in the sanctuary, the prominence of guitars over a brass section, the potential loss of the choir and, most of all, the priority of “new songs.” Many of the congregants who...

Rediscovering Lost Scriptures: Two Astonishing Years

Last updated on: August 20, 2025 at 12:00 pm By Philip Jenkins

I have been writing about the modern rediscovery of ancient Jewish and Christian scriptures, including Lost Gospels. We usually tend to think of such finds in the context of the 1940s, with the Nag Hammadi library in Egypt in 1945, and the Dead Sea Scrolls at Qumran in 1947. In reality, people already knew a very great deal about such things long before that point, and the great age of rediscovery occurred between the 1880s and the 1920s. Today, I... Read more
