ELSEWHERE: Women can be Win Bread?!?!?

Last updated on: June 27, 2013 at 11:51 pm By Christopher Hutton

Gender. Ah, that unforgettable topic. Gender never stops being controversial, especially when it comes to the question of whether or not women should be allowed to be the breadwinner, the main moneymaker in a relationship.

ELSEWHERE: Artists Continue Pushing The Boundaries Of What It Means To Be Human

Last updated on: June 27, 2013 at 10:15 pm By Jason Morehead

Back in 2011, I wrote a piece about Marion Laval-Jeantet, a French artist who injected herself with horse blood plasma in order to explore “trans-species relationships.” Laval-Jeantet isn’t the only artist working in this area and using their body as an artistic medium, though. Here’s a list of 7 “bio-artists” who explore, sometimes in disturbing ways, such topics as human enhancement, post-genderism, social concepts of beauty, and genetic manipulation. And in the process, they can challenge many of our traditional assumptions about... Read more

ELSEWHERE: Which Side Is the Right Side of History?

Last updated on: June 28, 2013 at 9:09 am By Derek Rishmawy

With the new SCOTUS decisions coming down, there’s been a lot of historical prognostication and jabbering about being on “the right side of history.” Ted Olsen reminds us over at Christianity Today, that there have been a lot of rewrites. Read more

Mad Men Recap 6.12 & 13: There’s a Good Man in that Homesick Monster

Last updated on: June 29, 2013 at 4:04 pm By Nick Olson

Mad Men Recap 6.12: “You’re a Monster” The definitive image book-ending the recent Mad Men episode “The Quality of Mercy” is an overhead shot of Don Draper curled up in the fetal position–first on a children’s bed in his apartment, then on the couch in his office. Awaking in bed alone, Megan finds Don curled up in the aforementioned position, and, concerned, orders him to take a “sick” day. Later in the day, then, Don and Megan go to the movies so...

Silver Linings in DOMA Case?

Last updated on: June 26, 2013 at 10:04 pm By S. L. Whitesell

From a legal and political perspective, I’m with Hadley Arkes that this is an unmitigated disaster. But from the perspective of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I can agree with Dr. Russell Moore that there is always good news, even though, as he puts it, “Same-sex marriage is headed for your community.” Wise words for those of us who don’t plan to give in – ever – regardless of what the Court might say.

Booker DeWitt’s Shotgun Baptism and the Tragedy of Cheap Grace in Bioshock Infinite

Last updated on: June 27, 2013 at 7:42 am By Adam Marshall

If you’ve been tuned into conversations about gaming within the past few months or so, you’ve probably noticed that the Irrational Games Bioshock: Infinite is making a lot of waves. From its fully realized setting to its mind-bending plot, B:I has garnered a lot of critical praise and more than one “best game ever” nod. Of course, there are dissenters like Phil Hartup, who insists that B:I has nothing new to teach us (“What are we really learning here? That racism is bad? That religious fanaticism... Read more
