Theology That Bites Back
If you are among those who follow my son Nate’s writing, or if you are among those who ought to be following it, I have some news to roll out. Our presidential campaigns have lost their old allure, and so it is time for some diversion. Nate’s newest book, Outlaws of Time (HarperCollins), is set …
As if we needed more evidence, we now have additional evidence that the progressive uplifters of our society are impervious to the claims of evidence. In support of this claim, I would simply point to the fact that California is now poised to join other economic illiterates in adopting a $15 an hour minimum wage. …
In a time when we no longer know what a man is, or what a woman is, it would seem to follow that we can no longer know what the perversions of these offices are. Among many other weirdnesses, we are so far gone that we no longer know what a slut is. Societies and …
So here is something from outside my wheelhouse. That said, I do love a well-turned phrase, and this man does have them — “living from the grave,” “the poetry of Jehovah’s deed,” and more.
