Still Left With The Right

If you read yesterday’s Times article, “The Evangelical Crackup”, you might enjoy this response to it by Richard John Neuhaus at First Things:
But an evangelical crackup? Don’t believe it. The Times is whistling in the self-induced dark. They scare themselves by creating the boogeyman of a monolithic theocratic assault and then console themselves [...]

Is The Religious Right Turning Left?

David Kirkpatrick just wrote an article for the New York Times entitled “The Evangelical Crackup.” (click here for the full article). The bottom line is that religious conservatives are getting fed up with Bush and the war in Iraq, and many of the big names within evangelicalism (like Rick Warren) are becoming suspiciously [...]

Tolerance Presupposes Moral Objectivism

I’m reading through J. P. Moreland’s Kingdom Triangle. In chapter four J. P. discusses, among other things, the transition in thought from a classic conception of tolerance to a modern conception of tolerance. He notes that tolerance is usually linked in some way with moral relativism, but then shows that idea to be [...]

Amazing Grace

William Wilberforce was a political activist. He was an idealist. He fought a twenty-year fight to end the slave trade and emancipate the slaves of England. You might even say his passion was social justice. With a profile like this, he should be the hero of every modern liberal. Ah, [...]

Slavery in the 21st Century

For those of you who think we ended slavery after the Civil War, think again. Slavery has actually reached a high point today, making it, quite possibly, the greatest tragedy of our time…and it’s being almost completely overlooked. Joe Carter draws it to our attention, realizing that it is Christians who should, above [...]

GBC ‘06!

GodBlogCon 2006 has been a big success! “A Meeting of Christian Minds” scarcely does justice to what is going on here at Biola University this year. I have never been in a room with so many brilliant men and women at the same time! Being present during Hugh Hewitt’s live radio show [...]
