The Mainline Protestant Press and the Idea of “Declining” Liberal Religion
Pundits routinely treat mainline Protestant intellectuals as naïve idealists who lost their constituents' confidence by veering into ultra-leftism and its institutions—including its journals—as approaching the bottom of a slippery slope leading to institutional death, greased by compromises with liberalism. Evangelicals who dominate the religious-political scene are often compared with a waning mainline. The question, however, is not whether main…

Religion in the National Agenda: What We Mean by Religious, Spiritual, Secular
Sommerville offers idiosyncratic reflections about defining religion in contexts from religious studies, through the courts and educational system, to work in sociology, history, theology, biology, physics, anthropology, political science, and psychology. He addresses a three-fold challenge: (1) definitions of religion are so diverse that they introduce confusion and are sometimes too broad to clarify whether any given thing is more religious tha…
The Secrets of the Kingdom: Religion and Concealment in the Bush Administration. By Hugh B. Urban
Hugh Urban built his scholarly career primarily through studies of South Asian Tantra, the cultural dynamics of Tantra's increasing profile in the West, and other forms of religion that stress occult aspects of sexual magic, including neo-paganism and Satanism. In recent years, he has widened his attention to additional religions in which secret knowledge plays a prominent role, including Scientology and Heaven's Gate. Urban's latest book brings …

Pluralism Comes of Age: American Religious Culture in the Twentieth Century
There has emerged a sizable cohort of historians who study U.S. religion outside a church history model focusing on Christian denominations. The group tends to focus on popular religions and stress how religious practice intersects with differences based on race, ethnicity, gender, and other factors. Scholars associated with this cohort have produced more in the way of monographs and readers than syntheses. Thus, questions sometimes arise about w…

Priestesses',Playboy, and the Prehistory of Feminist Scholarship inChristianity and CrisisMagazine, 1945-1965
This is a case study of how feminist discourse emerged in a key part of the U.S. Protestant academy. It analyzes how Christianity and Crisis, a leading Protestant journal of opinion, addressed gender and sexuality from the 1940s to the mid-1960s. It relates this discussion to C&C's larger transformation from a voice of Cold War liberalism in the 1940s to a forum for feminism and various liberation theologies beginning in the 1960s.
