After Phil Robertson quoted Scripture in an interview with a national magazine, his hit show, Duck Dynasty, put him on “indefinite hiatus.” Phil immediately knew what had happened: he had become a target of cancel culture.

In a deeply divided country, with so many bent on condemning and silencing others, Phil calls for us to carry out the unifying message of Jesus Christ.

We could simply say, “It’s against the law.” Today, that answer is no longer possible.

Now for the first time, Todd A. Salzman and Michael G. Lawler present an extended critical commentary on the 2018 ERD.

Scripture's abiding relevance can inspire great goodness, such as welcoming the stranger and extending compassion for the poor. But its authority has also been wielded to defend slavery, marginalize LGBTQ individuals, ignore science, and justify violence. Grounded in close readings of scripture and tradition in Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, religious scholar Rachel Mikva shows us that the Abrahamic religions have always been aware of their tremendous power both to harm and to heal.

Throughout her nearly 40 years in ministry, Heidi Neumark has strived to make the communities she was part of sanctuaries amid the turmoils of life. Now, with the social and political upheaval of the years since Donald Trump was elected president, Neumark believes the true Christian calling is to live out a counterpoint to today’s prevailing spirits of exclusion and hatred. Using her own bilingual, multicultural congregation as a model, she moves through the seasons of the church calendar to reflect on what it looks like to live out essential Christian convictions.

La parola “blasfemia” viene dal latino blasphemia, a sua volta derivata dal greco βλασφημ?α, blasphemía, vocabolo composto dal verbo βλ?πτειν, bláptein, “ingiuriare”, e dal sostantivo φ?μη/φ?μα, phéme/pháma, “reputazione”. Ingiuriare reputazione! La bestemmia o blasfemia è una locuzione con contenuti dissacranti e svalutanti verso Dio, verso i santi, o più in generale verso quanto appartiene al mondo di Dio. Non lo so quale è il paese del mondo dove si bestemmia di più? Sicuramente l’Italia è un campione.
