Theology That Bites Back
One of the oddest developments in my recent experience has to do with how I, paleo-conservative as I am, somehow wound up occupying the moral high ground when it comes to racial matters. I thought some of you might be curious as regarding the reasons for this. Perhaps others are curious about what I intend …
I responded yesterday to a couple of tweets from Joel McDurmon, not knowing at the time that he had written a longer article on the subject. That article requires a small collection of responses, which I have conveniently assembled for you below. His article is here. I want to note at the outset that there …
Introduction: In an attempt to respond to my piece on Al Mohler and Southern Seminaryโas I think I may safely assumeโJoel McDurmon tweeted this: โFtr, saying that white Christians pursuing racial reconciliation will NEVER be permitted to achieve success, but be strung outwith endless apologies, because guilt is easy to monetize . . . just …

Introduction: We continue our lessons in social justice arising out of systems or narratives of social justification, and so it behooves usโdo you not agree that behooves needs to get back into wider circulation?โit behooves us to look at a number of examples. I am thinking about Trump, and Samson, and King David, and Joel …
The responses to my piece from Monday on social justification/social justice have started to heat up, and if you decide to wade through them I would like to ask everyone to keep their eye on the ball. What is actually going on? Remember that social justice is a framework of social โsanctificationโ that must, of …
So let me explain it to you once again, one more time. If a white girl wears a Chinese dress to the prom, she is guilty of โappropriation.โ If another girl wears hoop earrings, she is also guilty of โappropriation,โ but now in a different direction. If a fraternity hosts a Mexican dinner and the …
