Theology That Bites Back
Sorry to be late to this particular party, but this is one hopping circus, and it is hard to keep track of all the trapeze artists. I mean, some go this way while the others are going that way. So what happened was this. I summarize, and do so with the need for brevity in …
Introduction: I have resolved to overcome this unbecoming reticence of mine. The monkeyshines that characterize so much of our public discourse in the Age of Trump have finally gotten to me. They have overwhelmed my reserved and retiring approach to modern politics. I am going to say what I think. But This is Not About …
Introduction: In the aftermath of this post on Wednesday, a discussion broke out on Twitter, the center of which was helpful. I want to thank both Joe Carter and Justin Taylor for engaging with the piece, and I hope that this post will help bring more clarity to the situation. I participated in those threads, …

It is bad when the wheels are coming off of the clown cars. To change the metaphor, as the paddle of our 24/7 news cycle stirs …
And just like that, as though coordinated with a prearranged signal, it seems to me that the Democrats have decided to do what they can to make sure that Donald Trump gets a full two terms. While I have been mulling over my promise to write on the challenge that Christians face when it comes …
Introduction: So we have a caravan consisting of thousands of refugees, heading for our southern border. What are Christians to make of this? How are we to think of such things? We do live in a world, after all, in which our Lord told the parable of the Good Samaritan . . . We also …
