These Are On The Rise

Last updated on: November 20, 2018 at 3:52 pm By Scot McKnight

The Atlantic, by Mike Mariani: The conviction that demons exist—and that they exist to harass, derange, and smite human beings—stretches back as far as religion itself. In ancient Mesopotamia, Babylonian priests performed exorcisms by casting wax figurines of demons into a fire. The Hindu Vedas, thought to have been written between 1500 and 500 b.c., refer to supernatural beings—known as asuras, but largely understood today as demons—that challenge the gods and sabotage human affairs. For the ancient Greeks, too, demonlike creatures lurked on... Read more

Thanks SCOTUS Justice Sotomayor

Last updated on: November 19, 2018 at 12:04 pm By Scot McKnight

Source: Washington (CNN)Justice Sonia Sotomayor in an interview with CNN’s David Axelrod said that Justice Brett Kavanaugh was welcomed into the Supreme Court “family” in the wake of his polarizing confirmation process. “When you’re charged with working together for most of the remainder of your life, you have to create a relationship,” Sotomayor said in an “Axe Files” interview airing Saturday. “The nine of us are now a family and we’re a family with each of us our own burdens...

Amen … So Be It (RJS)

Last updated on: November 21, 2018 at 5:44 am By RJS

Amen. The Apostles’ Creed ends with a simple word. Ben Myers (The Apostles’ Creed) reflects on this last word: “To say amen to the creed is to sign my name to it. I confirm the truth of this: I authorize it: amen.” (p. 131) Amen is a word we all know … but not really. It is the appropriate way to end a prayer, but why? Four letters with no intrinsic meaning? It is more, however, than a ritualized ending... Read more

The Church And Latinas

Last updated on: November 15, 2018 at 9:52 am By Scot McKnight

Source By Gricel Medina On November 13, 2018 As a child growing up in a poor immigrant community, my dreams were limited by what I saw around me. We were survivors, but we often struggled. It was a constant battle as we tried our best to make ends meet, yet never really seemed to make it. Education was the ultimate ticket out of the poverty cycle, but no one in my family had even finished high school. When my mother realized... Read more

Mimi Speaks: Weaponizing Ideas Against Women

Today, that number may be as high as 200 million according to Amartya Sen, a retired professor of economics and philosophy at Harvard. Sen received a Nobel Prize for his work, which prompted humanitarians and researchers to employ a gender-lens in their research and work. With one voice, they demonstrated how patriarchy is one...

Why We Need Sages (The Wise)

Last updated on: November 11, 2018 at 2:40 pm By Scot McKnight

In the last few years the significance and importance of sages in Israel and earliest Christianity have impressed themselves upon me. The value of sages cannot be overestimated in our culture. More of that some day, but not today. A good question might be asked what difference they make? What is the sage? What does the sage provide? In Glenn Pembertson’s new and wise book on wisdom, A Life That Is Good, three classes or groups of leaders and speakers and Word-of-God... Read more

Hello from Denver. Kris and I are at the annual meeting for the Society of Biblical Literature, which for us began with dinner with Richard Hays, speaker for the IBR Lecture. Common Core — is it enough? The Common Core Standards do not require reading complete long works of literature. Even by the time we arrive at the 11th and 12th grade set of standards for reading literature, the standards only refer to “stories, dramas, and poems.” There are, throughout the... Read more
