, , ,

Here at GetReligion, we see (neglected) religious overtones in almost all news stories. But even the mainstream media picked up on the religious overtones in yesterday’s shooting at a Pennsylvania Amish school. The ubiquitous media coverage gives us an opportunity to compare the heavy hitters.

Jeff Weiss of The Dallas Morning News, who is one of the nation’s best-known religion-beat specialists, sent me an email this weekend with a subject line that was impossible to ignore. It read: “this one was partly inspired by some of the chat on getreligion.”

This is how it's done

As I mentioned earlier this week, I finally got a chance to read the Time cover story on the Prosperity Gospel. I’m sorry to be so late in analyzing the piece, but I heartily encourage you to read it.

Newsweek misses church ladies, again

, , , , ,

The new issue of Newsweek is out, which means that I, once again, have waited a bit too long to make a comment on the previous issue. I think I’ll do it anyway, since it appears that the magazine is going to do the same cover story every year about this time.

Purpose-driven response

, , , ,

Well, friends, I am back from my honeymoon. I have declared it the Best Honeymoon in the History of the World — but I don’t have much to compare it to. Tanned, rested and ready, I am. And married. And operating under a new name. So many changes.
