What is the Gospel?

"Good Question (and chances are you are wrong)"

Written by Peter Enns, Patheos | Thursday, August 16, 2012

According to the Gospels, the gospel is not about the afterlife, but what “kingdom” you belong to here and now. Jesus talks a lot about the “kingdom of heaven” (or “of God”), and this is commonly misunderstood as a kingdom “up there” somewhere. But read what Jesus says about the kingdom. It is about the rule of God on earth, with Jesus as king.

Is Sandusky Really Such a Bad Guy After All?

In an age of sexual freedom: What is the real source of such fury? Why is everyone so shocked and so angry?

Written by David B. Garner | Thursday, August 16, 2012

In a society that celebrates sexual freedom and personal rights to sexual expression, why the collective outrage over Sandusky’s acts? Does not today’s ethic insist Sandusky has a right to his own sexual fulfillment, however he chooses to attain it? Does he not have the right to engage in sex where he wants, with whom...

America’s First Atheist

Joel Barlow is significant as possibly America's first atheist.

Written by Daniel Silliman | Thursday, August 16, 2012

James Turner, in his book Without God, Without Creed: The Origins of Unbelief in America, suggests Barlow is a plausible candidate for America’s first atheist. There may, of course, have been an underground of unbelief in America in the late 1700s, but the evidence we have of the era’s skepticism indicates it was directed towards... Continue Reading

Keeping the Faith on Campus: Students at Secular Schools Face More Than Academic Challenges

Written by Anna Harris, WNS | Thursday, August 16, 2012

Presidents, But Not Pastors

Christian colleges choosing academic administrators, not pastors, as presidents.

Written by Libby A. Nelson | Thursday, August 16, 2012

Many evangelical colleges started out as Bible colleges, with pastors at the helm, their leadership later changed over to academic administrators. Evangelical colleges that continue to choose pastors as leaders…don’t face the demographic pressures that forced Catholic colleges to move away from priests and nuns as presidents as the ranks of vowed religious dwindled.  ...

“Tri-Perspectivalism”: An Introduction to John Frames Reformed Epistemology (Part I)

Tri-Perspectivalism was coined by theologian and professor of the theology John Frame as part of his multivolume effort to expound the doctrine of God.

Written by Todd Murphy | Thursday, August 16, 2012

Tri-Perspectivalism is a distinctly Christian theory of knowledge. Frame introduces his thought to the world in his book The Doctrine of the Knowledge of God. Thus by saying it is distinctly Christian, unlike most philosophical schools of epistemology that lean heaviest into human experience and reasoning, Frame’s thought is an epistemology of revelation. This means... Continue Reading

Is It OK for a Christian to vote for Mitt Romney?

Why [are] people who have been theocratic Reconstructionists for longer than some of these guys have been alive…willing to support him now?

Written by James B. Jordan | Wednesday, August 15, 2012

Yet, who cares? Let’s stay home and let the country burn to the ground. Let’s stay home and not vote, trusting like fools that King Jesus will actually honor our manipulations and do a miracle for us. No guys. I don’t think Jesus likes being manipulated.
