Well, that's kinda what Dale Coulter is trying to do: When Mark Noll’s Scandal of the Evangelical Mind hit the market in the early 1990s it created a “title” wave that continues to move out in multiple directions. This fact alone means that if evangelicalism is going to reboot its examination of its own intellectual resources–a …
Praising Richard Nixon, a Act of Liberal Desperation
I never thought I'd live long enough to see this, in Salon no less: The last president who had a plan for protecting American workers from the vicissitudes of the global economy was Richard Nixon, who was in office when foreign steel and foreign cars began seriously competing with domestic products. The most farsighted politician …

My Lord and My God: The Word Was God
For an introduction, explanation and links to the entire work, click here. Having set forth the positions of the Ante-Nicene Fathers on the subject of the deity of Christ, we need to turn to those “God-breathed” scriptures to see if our position has foundation in inspiration. It is our purpose here to show that the …
Oh, Yes, the 1% (And Then Some) Should Give Back
Harry Binswanger doesn't think so: It’s time to gore another collectivist sacred cow. This time it’s the popular idea that the successful are obliged to “give back to the community.” That oft-heard claim assumes that the wealth of high-earners is taken away from “the community.” And beneath that lies the perverted Marxist notion that wealth …

Relink: Mark Thompson's "Are we really heretics and who cares?"
It's a document that's been on site for a long time, but lost in the shuffle. So I am relinking Mark Thompson's "Are we really heretics and who cares?". It was an address given at the Annual General Meeting of the Anglican Church League, Sydney, Thursday 19th August 2004, and was a presentation of their …

My Lord and My God: Faith of Our Fathers
For an introduction, explanation and links to the entire work, click here. When we engage any group that has missed an important essential of the truth, we usually start with the Bible. If the group with which we are discussing[1] things accepts the Bible as authoritative, then things are to some extent simpler; it becomes …
The Tasteless Nouveaux Riches Take Over Harvard B-School
And no one else is happy with it either: When Christina Wallace, now the director of the Startup Institute, attended Harvard Business School on a scholarship, she was told by her classmates that she needed to spend more money to fully participate, and that “the difference between a good experience and a great experience is …

Message to my Liberal Friends: You Can't Pick and Choose Your Wars
Last week, we saw our Congress (the opposite of progress) in recess, getting an earful of anti-war sentiment from their constituents. (And not just from "blue" districts and states either). Our President, meanwhile, shot some rounds of golf and didn't make much more headway with the G20 than those in Congress did with their constituents. …

The Thankless End of the United Thank Offering–and a Reminder of the Consequences
And most of its board (until now with some autonomy from the Episcopal Church) aren't happy about it: With the stroke of a pen, the United Thank Offering Board (UTO) will possibly be rendered powerless and voiceless by Episcopal Church leadership. This is a complete reversal of a three-year study process that resulted in the …

Achor and Friends: Hosanna to the Son of David
Dove 54 (1978) Achor, the North London group which put together these albums, got some friends together and did yet another one. The music is very much in the tradition of the previous albums: good, straightforward Christian folk with an emphasis on songs taken directly from the Scriptures. And the benefits of that (esp. with …
