For Whom Will Tomorrow’s Bell Toll? Thoughts On Paula Deen…

The court of public opinion is a lonely place where one sits on trial while others (who hide their guilt for the same crimes or worse) point, sneer, mock, objectify, and carry out sentence.

Written by Karen Ellis | Saturday, June 29, 2013

In fact, perhaps of greatest note for consideration was the voice of African American Pastor Gregory Tyson, Sr., who boldly came to the cooking Queen’s defense. Here is a man who knew her deeds and, in spite of her lack of cultural sensitivity, stepped in to promote the character of the “Paula Deen” largely unreported... Continue Reading

I Don’t Like Paula Deen but I’ll Defend Her

The need for cultural-historical perspective

Written by William H. Smith | Saturday, June 29, 2013

We seem largely unable to judge people by the times and the societies in which they lived. Yet we can be quite oblivious to our own sins. We see very clearly what are admittedly beams, not mere motes, in the eyes of those of other times and places, but we don’t even get a glimpse of... Continue Reading

What the Supreme Court Decision Means

Thoughts on Justice Antonin Scalia's dissent in the Defense of Marriage Act case

Written by Marvin Olasky, WNS | Friday, June 28, 2013

Emboldened by the Supreme Court’s declaration that all who oppose same-sex marriage are haters, the only thing that will keep Christ-haters from giving Christians a choice of silence or jail will be the social left’s sense of what it can get away with. As Edmund Burke wrote when reflecting on the French Revolution, “In the... Continue Reading

Ryan Anderson’s Uphill Fight to Change Young Minds on Gay Marriage

Ryan Anderson has planted himself on arguably the most unpopular stance for his generation: opposing gay marriage

Written by Sarah Pulliam Bailey, RNS | Wednesday, June 26, 2013

Together with Princeton Ph.D. candidate Sherif Girgis, George and Anderson released “What Is Marriage?: Man and Woman: A Defense,” a 150-page book that has become go-to material for conservatives looking to argue against gay marriage. The trio also wrote a similar article for the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy. Ryan Anderson has planted... Continue Reading

Student (and Others) Reading for the Summer

Some guided reading for the summer

Written by Carl Trueman | Sunday, June 23, 2013

Andrew Hoffecker, Charles Hodge.  A beautifully written biography of a delightful Presbyterian leader and hero. This has become my favourite Christian biography of all time.  I wish I had written it; no – I wish I was even remotely capable of writing it. As I am not, reading it is the next best thing.   I...

Melvyn Bragg on William Tyndale: His Genius Matched that of Shakespeare

William Tyndale was burned at the stake for translating the Bible into English. He loaded our language with more phrases than any other writer before or since, says Melvyn Bragg.

Written by Melvyn Bragg | Saturday, June 22, 2013

For considerable stretches of his short life, Tyndale was hounded across Western Europe by spies and agents from the hypocritical king of England, Henry VIII, the Pope and by the Holy Roman Emperor. It was the Emperor’s net which closed in on him in the end. By then, even to have known Tyndale let alone... Continue Reading

Geneva College wins temporary shelter from contraceptive mandate

Judge: the federal government “failed to build sufficient lead time” for schools like Geneva to make plans for the mandate.

Written by Emily Belz, WNS | Thursday, June 20, 2013

Federal judges have dismissed lawsuits from other schools like Wheaton College on the grounds they aren’t experiencing immediate harm from the mandate. Judges will likely decide on the merits of the ongoing lawsuits like Geneva’s after the Department of Health and Human Services issues a finalized contraceptive mandate in August.   A federal judge granted...
