CaPC Magazine, Issue #7: When Good Christians Make Bad Art

Last updated on: July 11, 2013 at 6:56 pm By Alan Noble

In this issue of CaPCMag we tackle a sore spot for many evangelicals: how Christians participate in culture. Sure, to some extent that’s what CaPC is always about, but this issue focuses specifically on big picture views of culture by Christians. In two exclusive features available only in the iPad and iPhone app we examine how Christians have sought to use art as evangelism and what missions can teach us about the value of enjoying cultures. To read these fantastic... Read more

Last updated on: July 10, 2013 at 10:48 pm By Jeff Cavanaugh

It’s common these days to hear people (especially middle-aged folks) grousing about the social-media addiction of younger generations. Social connections, they worry, come at the expense of real-world relationships. But Tony Schwartz, writing for the New York Times‘ DealBook, has a surprisingly positive take on the way his adult daughter and her peers have enriched their lives and relationships through the Web.

Maybe Barbie Will Blossom into a Real Girl Someday

Last updated on: July 11, 2013 at 2:48 pm By Erin Straza

For years now, critics have blasted Mattel’s ever-popular Barbie for her unnatural proportions—so unnatural that if Barbie were a real person, her neck would be too small to hold up her head and her BMI so low she would be classified as anorexic. Not exactly the sort of ideal for young girls to strive toward. Some say Barbie is merely a toy, that her influence over young kids is conjecture at best. But illustrator Nikolay Lamm thinks otherwise. The Huffington... Read more

ELSEWHERE: More Unworldly than Fundies?!

Last updated on: July 10, 2013 at 8:23 am By S. L. Whitesell

It looks like the United States government got a little jealous of some quarters of American Christianity. In an effort to prove it can be just as silly as buttoned-down churchgoers, the Economic Development Administration went gangsta – Office Space style – on some electronic office equipment. Alas, wasting millions of dollars was not as catharsis. The agency’s Chief Information Officer – a person paid, mind you, as an executive expert in information technology – wanted to be sure malware was... Read more

Elsewhere: Against Positive and Encouraging Music

Last updated on: July 9, 2013 at 9:37 pm By Christopher Hutton

Every Christian radio station I’ve ever listened to always emphasized that their music was “Positive and Encouraging”. But is this actually good, or accurate? Worship songwriter Audrey Assad seems to disagree, as revealed in her CT’s profile of her. Her music has tended to reflect the highs and lows of her faith, despite the bias in CCM towards just positivity. Read more

Reclaiming Questions in an Age of Skepticism: The End of Our Exploring

Last updated on: July 9, 2013 at 10:21 pm By Derek Rishmawy

Humans question things all the time, but why? What’s a question and how does it work? Beyond that, makes a question good? Are there bad questions? Should I question everything? Who says? Is there ever a time to stop questioning? When do you know you have an answer? Where is God in our questions? Is he prosecutor, witness, defendant? Are all questions ‘doubts’? Are all doubts bad? Where does faith come into our questions? What would it look like to make questioning a habit, a... Read more
