The Experiment presents scholars of religion with an opportunity to draw upon their training to reflect upon a contemporary issue. In this edition, Emma Welch engages with Brad Stoddard’s newly released book Spiritual Entrepreneurs: Florida’s Faith-Based Prisons and the American Carceral State (University of North Carolina Press, 2021). Stoddard’s volume examines Florida’s Faith- and Character-Based Institutions (FCBIs) as sites illustrative of the collision of the politics of incarceration, neoliberal economics, and religious freedom in the United States. Drawing from Stoddard’s argument, Emma Welch considers how a similar convergence of U.S. conservative Christian values and political agendas occur around the issue of abortion.

In The Archive we republish articles that, in hindsight, may have been ahead of their time in their prescience or may yet still have something to provoke our thinking in this current moment. Our pull from this issue is a 1992 piece from John Cartwright (1933–2011), former Executive Secretary/Treasurer of the Society of Christian Ethics, which was a constituent society of the Council for the Societies for the Study of Religion. Readers will recall that the CSSR Bulletin was a predecessor to this publication. Cartwright discusses the intersection of higher education and incarceration in a manner well ahead of current initiatives in the United States. You can find the original in CSSR Bulletin 21.4, 99–100).

While discursive approaches and social theory enjoy some notoriety in the academic study of religion, the so-called critical turn is no stranger to challenges. Some reject it as philosophically apolitical; others, as ignorant of biological and psychological insights. In this edition of The Interview, we turn to an exchange with MIT Professor Emeritus Noam Chomsky, whose work has informed how many scholars of religion approach the sciences and cultural politics. Chomsky sat with retired Canadian Broadcasting Corporation broadcaster and Continuing Senior Fellow of Massey College at the University of Toronto, Ian Alexander, and Chair of the Department of Linguistics at the University of Victoria, Martha McGinnis, as part of the John Albert Hall Lectures’ Values for a New World series at the University of Victoria’s Centre for Studies in Religion and Society. We’ve excerpted this rich exchange from a longer two-part interview which we encourage you to access on the CSRS’s YouTube channel: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1AZa5z85YY&t=4054s and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDP71Q2-T3s&t=1s).

The Download is where we highlight the work scholars are doing with and around digital technology. In this issue, Ph.D. student Jacob Barrett (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill), discusses the benefits and complications that arise when using computational text analysis as a research tool within the social sciences and humanities. Here he focuses specifically on the marginalization of minority communities in digital humanities data and on the benefits of decelerating and being patient in researching.

The Interview brings you in-depth exchanges with scholars who have impacted the way we carry out work in the academic study of religion. In this edition, Bulletin editor Richard Newton sat with Donald Wiebe (Trinity College in the University of Toronto, co-founder of the North American Association for the Study of Religion, and twice-former president of the International Association for the History of Religions). They discuss institution-building in our field—from navigating the conflation of critical and confessional approaches at the university level, to association building, to defending its raison d’être. The latter concern most recently came to a head within the IAHR in an incident that Wiebe expounds upon in his latest book, An Argument in Defense of a Strictly Scientific Study of Religion: The Controversy at Delphi (Institute for the Advanced Study of Religion 2021).

In The Archive, we bring back some of our most provocative essays from yesteryear to see what lessons we might learn from them today. Given the shifting grounds on which defenses of the academic study of religion are being made—whether in the IAHR as discussed in The Interview or in the context of the contemporary U.S., a post-Carson v. Makin academy as discussed in The Editorial—we return to a 1983 piece by Charles Elliot Vernoff, originally published in the Council on the Study of Religion Bulletin 15.4, 109-112, where he traces the contours of the field in the early 1980s.
