This from The Washington Post….  These ten myths come from authors of a new book: John Amato and David Neiwert get quite worked up over this notion, especially as it applies to the conservative right. In their book, “Over the Cliff: How Obama’s Election Drove the American Right Insane,” due out in June from PoliPoint…

Soul Sorting and Election In my prior posts on the “soul sort narrative,” I’ve commented on what I’ve called the Chick Tract Gospel and on the theme of Justice.  I suggested in those posts that the real issue is not the fact of “sorting,” but the question of “election.”  In my mind, this is the heart of the “theodicy of…

There is a common perception that…

Claiming something is evangelicalism’s biggest challenge is sport for some. I’ve heard a number of items, including complementarianism, the Second Coming, and socialism. I want to register my suggestion, and I believe this idea erodes the very core of evangelicalism. It’s universalism. Evangelicalism is marked by four features: the centrality of the Bible, the cross…

From the NYTimes, where we see an article that pushes the line that there is a generational gap on the immigration issue. Forget sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll; immigration is a new generational fault line. In the wake of the new Arizona law allowing the police to detain people they suspect of entering the…
