Get Out the Vote: Participate in the Democratic Process

Last updated on: November 4, 2024 at 1:29 pm By Joey Cochran

You cannot unsee what you have seen this past year. I don’t even really have to detail it for you. If Christianity Today has given abundant counsel to U.S. evangelicals on third way politics that abstains from voting or votes third party, then we have all seen who they really are. The evidence catastrophically indicates that evangelicals have lost confidence in their long alliance with the “Grand Ole Party”. It’s because they have shown us who they are. This is... Read more

The Man Who Invented Folk Horror

Last updated on: November 1, 2024 at 11:16 am By Philip Jenkins

0 Comments

The category of folk horror was first identified in the 1970s, and in recent years it has generated a huge amount of media and critical attention. It is also the subject of a book I am working on presently. (See the major bibliography I offer here). Much of the early discussion focuses on cinema, and such classic 1970s films as The Wicker Man. But in fact, those productions were only the latest in a very long sequence of novels and... Read more

Why Blog About the History and Theology of Gender and Race?

Last updated on: October 30, 2024 at 12:15 am By Andrea L. Turpin

0 Comments

I often blog about gender history and theology for the Anxious Bench. I also blog about a great many other things. I was curious about my patterns over time, so I recently went and looked up when I first began writing monthly here. It was just over 5 years ago, in Summer 2019. The post was entitled “When Gender Theology Doesn’t Fit in Our Boxes: Then and Now.” As I recall, it was my friend and Baylor colleague Beth Allison... Read more

DEI at the University of Michigan: What Went Right?

Last updated on: October 29, 2024 at 8:13 am By Melissa Borja

0 Comments

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives at the University of Michigan are a “failure”—at least according to the New York Times. As an October 16 article explained, efforts by the university to address inequality and injustice have left students and faculty feeling “more frustrated than ever,” and the mood on campus is characterized by disappointment and “wary disdain.” I am a tenured faculty member at the University of Michigan. Unlike commentators who have seized upon the article in order to... Read more

Abortion and Prohibition: Will This Election Be Like 1932?

Last updated on: October 28, 2024 at 9:38 pm By Daniel K. Williams

0 Comments

This year’s treatment of abortion by both major parties is reminiscent of how both parties engaged with the issue of alcohol regulation in 1932, the last election before the end of Prohibition. Only a short time before the 1932 election, advocates of Prohibition had every reason to be jubilant. In 1928, they had experienced what was arguably their greatest triumph since the passage of the Eighteenth Amendment when the “dry” candidate, Republican Herbert Hoover, defeated the “wet” Al Smith by...

Who to Vote For: Toward a Christian Political Theology

Last updated on: October 28, 2024 at 6:47 pm By Malcolm Foley

0 Comments

Got a short one for you all. A few months ago, I was one of the initial signers of the Confession of Evangelical Conviction, a statement which, in my mind, is a thoroughly uncontroversial application of the Christian faith to political life. It is saturated with basic Christian claims: that Jesus is the head of the Church, that our loyalty belongs to no political party, that our decisions ought to be driven by love not fear, that the Scriptures ought...

This post is a tribute to the life and teaching of Kristen Todd, PhD, the late professor of music history at Oklahoma Baptist University. Dr. Todd passed away in 2014 after a fifteen-year career of teaching and mentorship at OBU. There’s not much I remember from my undergraduate days at Oklahoma Baptist University. But I do remember one morning in the early fall of 2008, where a large class met in a lecture hall in the south side of Raley... Read more

Cartoons, Caricatures, and Missionary Imperialism

Last updated on: October 25, 2024 at 6:38 am By Philip Jenkins

0 Comments

In pretty much any period I write about, I try to use cartoons and caricatures wherever possible because they offer such a wealth of material that would be so hard to extract from contemporary prose accounts. I offer a couple of examples today, together with an appeal for any similar items that people might be able to think about. I have been working on the intersection of missions and empire in US history, and generally, pro-empire people were very happy... Read more
