Last updated on: April 29, 2015 at 8:01 pm By Guest Contributor

When the new, 114th Congress is sworn in on Jan. 6, 2015, Republicans will control both chambers of the legislative body for the first time since the 109th Congress (2005-2006). Yet, despite the sea change in party control, there is relatively little change in the overall religious makeup of Congress, according to a new study by the Pew Research Center.

The Bible: So Misunderstood It’s a Sin

Last updated on: April 29, 2015 at 8:02 pm By Guest Contributor

They wave their Bibles at passersby, screaming their condemnations of homosexuals. They fall on their knees, worshipping at the base of granite monuments to the Ten Commandments while demanding prayer in school. They appeal to God to save America from their political opponents, mostly Democrats. They gather in football stadiums by the thousands to pray for the country’s salvation. They are God’s frauds, cafeteria Christians who pick and choose which Bible verses they heed with less care than they exercise... Read more

According to most mainstream media, being divorced and in my forties leaves me with a very slim chance of finding someone to spend my life with in holy matrimony. Though I try very hard not to take to heart most things I hear or read from the media, it is... Read more

Thomas Merton and the Synergy of Christianity and Buddhism

Last updated on: April 29, 2015 at 8:03 pm By Guest Contributor

I had a very interesting conversation with a good friend recently. My friend is a lifelong Catholic who has attracted more recently to evangelical faiths of the “personal savior” variety. I mentioned to him Thomas Merton, who he had never heard of, much to both my surprise and his. My friend is more on the fundamentalist spectrum of things, which is okay – unlike many progressive Christians, I don’t think fundamentalism is completely out of bounds. I told my friend...

Secular, Spiritual, Religious: American Religion Beyond the Baby Boomers

Last updated on: April 29, 2015 at 8:04 pm By Guest Contributor

In his wide-ranging interview with Dusty Hoesly, Wade Clark Roof both re-emphasizes the importance of the baby boomer generation and suggests some ways to think beyond it. In the second half of the interview, in particular, he offers two different narratives for understanding the boomers, their uniqueness, and their place in the history of American religion. Looking at each in turn, this short essay uses recent scholarship to build on Roof’s observations and point to some facets of the current... Read more
