Aquí en Colombia se celebra de grandes maneras la semana mayor (Semana Santa, para algunes).

En los lugares que ustedes viven (o han vivido), ¿celebran esta semana religiosa?
¿Ven las películas bíblicas qué proyectan en algunos canales de televisión?

Religion continues to play a significant role in shaping societies and public opinion, even among those who don’t follow a particular faith.

I captured this photo of a religious woman in Kyiv during the declaration of independence of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

A few days later, a major Russian news outlet used the same image to claim that the Ukrainian church had ceased to exist.

It’s a small example of how symbols and narratives are often caught in the middle of larger political and cultural disputes.

The picture by discipline is also very interesting...

Religion and Theology scholars take note! OpenAlex has significantly better coverage of OA journals in this area.

(I bet Religion and Theology scholars are already aware that Scopus and Web of Science do not serve them well and I assume they aren't well used in this research community)

Lese gerade in der StZ, S. 6, über eine Familie aus #Spaichingen, die der extrem dualistischen Sekte der „Palmarianisch-katholischen Kirche“ angehöre. Sie betrachten die Teilnahme von Kindern am #Schwimmunterricht wegen der „unzüchtigen“ #Kleidung als „Todsünde“.

“many Liberal & National Party figures are integrated in that ARC conference organisation, an international body that aims to “save” Judeo-Christian/Western civilisation from secular humanism (& Muslims). It is an Atlas Network-interlinked organisation.

(The Atlas Network is the global linking body that promotes “partners” like the Institute of Public Affairs’ disseminating business messaging and, functionally, promoting culture wars. Much of the partners’ funding is fossil-fuel derived and delaying climate action has been a primary focus.)”

We’re only at the beginning of discovering the #animal roots of #language. But one thing that we can’t ignore² anymore is the Logos was not given exclusively to #humanity. #Anthropocentrism can now survive only through voluntary ignorance. Reality is there for all to see. We’ll have to admit either that the Word descends from the flesh and not the flesh from the Word, or that the spirit is not a #human prerogative.

**Material philology and Syriac excerpting practices: A computational-quantitative study of the digitized catalog of the Syriac manuscripts in the British Library**

“_The results reveal that most manuscripts contain fewer than 20 excerpts, but a small number show much higher levels of excerpting, highlighting the immense intellectual and literary activities implicated in their production._”

Maeir N (2025) Material philology and Syriac excerpting practices: A computational-quantitative study of the digitized catalog of the Syriac manuscripts in the British Library. PLOS ONE 20(3): e0320265. doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0.

doi.orgMaterial philology and Syriac excerpting practices: A computational-quantitative study of the digitized catalog of the Syriac manuscripts in the British LibraryThis study explores the literary practice of excerpting in Syriac manuscripts through a computational-quantitative analysis, contributing to the emerging field of Syriac material philology. The primary objective is to offer a “big picture” charting of Syriac excerpting as a non-authorial literary practice. Using digitized data from the British Library’s Syriac manuscript collection, the study analyzes nearly 20,000 excerpts, introducing the Excerpts Per Manuscript (EPM) metric to quantify and compare excerpting practices across manuscripts. The results reveal that most manuscripts contain fewer than 20 excerpts, but a small number show much higher levels of excerpting, highlighting the immense intellectual and literary activities implicated in their production. These high-EPM manuscripts appear across multiple genres, indicating that excerpting was a widespread and essential cultural activity rather than confined to specific literary types. The study also finds that manuscripts with the highest EPM values are concentrated between the 6th and 9th centuries CE, corresponding with a period of intense literary compilation in late antiquity. This pattern reflects the importance of excerpting in knowledge organization, aligning with broader trends in the canonization of texts within Christian, Jewish, and Greco-Roman traditions. The research emphasizes the limitations of earlier cataloging approaches, which obscure non-authorial practices by focusing on authors and texts. By reorienting data through computational analysis, the study provides new insights into the role of excerpting in Syriac manuscript culture. This approach demonstrates the value of digital tools in material philology, uncovering patterns that bridge genres and timeframes, and identifying high-EPM manuscripts as key sites of intellectual and cultural activity in the Syriac literary tradition.

Carlo Acutis, who died of leukemia at age 15 in 2006, is set to be canonized by the Catholic Church at the end of this month. That means he'll be the first millennial saint. Aftermath's Riley Macleod looks at how Acutis became a saint, and the significance of how "current" he is, from his clothing to his enjoyment of gaming. "Talking to someone on the 'inside' of the Church showed me that, even if there is something a bit eye-rolling about a lot of this, Acutis can also remind people of the sanctity of the everyday, where a religious life can live alongside a conscious approach to secular hobbies like video games," Macleod says.

Radikale Christen wollen Wahlrecht für Frauen abschaffen
"Theo Bros" träumen vom Gottesstaat

So eine Religion ist schon was "schönes", da kann man vieles fordern und verlangen weil es ja angeblich der Wille des ausgedachten allmächtigen Wesens ist.
Fragt sich nur wie viele Menschen das genauso sehen und wann es gefährlich für die anderen wird.

hpd.de"Theo Bros" träumen vom Gottesstaat"America first" verschmilzt mit "Christ above all" – sie rebellieren gegen die moderne Welt, sie verachten demokratische Prinzipien, sie träumen offen von einer Theokratie: die sogenannten "Theo Bros". Die christlichen Gotteskrieger haben Frauen- und Minderheitenrechte im Visier. "Gehören Frauen in einer christlichen Nation überhaupt an die Wahlurne?", fragt einer ihrer Pastoren. Die Antwort heißt: "Nein". Die christlichen Fundis sind keine Randerscheinung: Sie haben einen direkten Draht ins Weiße Haus.
