Alex Berenson, Libertarians, and Roe v. Wade

Last updated on: August 17, 2022 at 11:22 am By Gerald McDermott

Alex Berenson is a brave man. Cancelled by Twitter and implicitly designated by the Justice Department as a domestic terrorist, his crime has been truth-telling. Yet he continues to tell the truth. A former New York Times reporter who quit the Gray Lady because he could no longer abide its pattern of providing comfort food to leftists rather than objective reporting, Berenson has been telling the truth about Covid vaccines for the last two years no matter who is offended....

Christians, race, and CRT: a response to David French

Last updated on: August 17, 2022 at 11:23 am By Gerald McDermott

David French is an evangelical Iraq War veteran and Harvard Law School graduate who has fought for religious freedom. In the last few years he has attacked pro-Trump evangelicals. More recently he has gone after those on the right who reject Critical Race Theory (CRT) as unchristian and unworthy of classroom study. His most current charge is that by dismissing CRT, Christians betray “fundamentalist” ways of thinking, neglect a helpful tool for exposing systemic racism in America, and deprive students...

How to read the Good Friday readings

Last updated on: August 17, 2022 at 11:24 am By Gerald McDermott

Throughout the Middle Ages and into the modern period, and even today in some areas of the world, Jews have dreaded Holy Week. They remember the many occasions when Christians have poured out of churches after Good Friday services and attacked Jewish people and their homes and synagogues. Why have Christians done these horrible things? Of course, there has always been residual anti-semitism. But Good Friday readings became triggers that convinced Christians on that holy day that Jews were—and are!—Christ-killers. ... Read more

Anglicanism and the Brothers K

Last updated on: August 17, 2022 at 11:25 am By Gerald McDermott

from Christopher Benson at Christianity Today As I read The Future of Orthodox Anglicanism, an engaging collection of essays edited by Anglican priest and theologian Gerald McDermott, I realized that my Anglican family—the third-largest Christian communion in the world (85 million) behind Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy—bears resemblance to the Karamazov family in Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novel The Brothers Karamazov. for the rest of this article, click here.

Climate catastrophe?

Last updated on: October 26, 2021 at 10:48 am By Gerald McDermott

[Friends, this post came out in an altered form at World magazine last week. It was toned down in a way that suggested we might indeed face a climate catastrophe, which is the opposite of what I wrote. Thus this original version.] Pope Francis warns that we face a global “climate emergency.” In his opening address to students in September, the president of Harvard University said climate change is “the most consequential threat facing humanity.” Climate catastrophists like Francis and Harvard’s president...

Wokeism at evangelical colleges

Last updated on: October 20, 2021 at 9:47 am By Gerald McDermott

Parents from Biden-voting areas such as Westchester County (NY), Maricopa County (AZ), and northern Virginia have been protesting the teaching of critical race theory in their public schools. They object that it divides students by race and intimates that skin color denotes either guilt or innocence. Christian parents often assume that evangelical institutions are free from such secular ideologies. But recent developments at three leading evangelical schools suggest they need to look more carefully. Click here for the rest of this article. Read more

China’s extermination camps

Last updated on: October 15, 2021 at 2:45 pm By Gerald McDermott

Are we as brave as we think we are? Many Christians wonder what they would have done if they had lived in earlier periods of moral horror. Would they have spoken out against slavery in America’s antebellum period? Would they have denounced what Germany was doing to Jews in the 1930s? The time for speculation is over. Today, there is a similar horror that demands a response. China has set up what might be the most extensive system of concentration... Read more

Israel-Palestinian debate in Minnesota

Last updated on: October 7, 2021 at 12:19 pm By Gerald McDermott

Friends, Alan Rubenstein is a new friend of mine. He was the chair of an international Jewish-evangelical dialogue I joined earlier this year. Alan lives in Northfield, Minnesota. This is the fascinating story of how he tried to mediate conflict among his neighbors over Israel and Palestine by showing them a new movie about the conflict and inviting them to his home for discussion. Forty neighbors showed up. (more…) Read more

Summaries of interviews with two leading epidemiologists

Last updated on: August 22, 2021 at 9:34 am By Gerald McDermott

[Friends, please excuse the out-of-whack formatting in places.

Children are at “miniscule” risk. Of 1.8 million children in Sweden, where there were no lockdowns and kids attended school throughout the pandemic, there were no deaths. Young adults have very little risk. Lockdowns are against all the... Read more

Book review: Evangelical faultlines on race

Last updated on: August 20, 2021 at 1:04 pm By Gerald McDermott

Several years ago I sent a manuscript on race to an evangelical book publisher. I was surprised to read the editor’s response that this book would not advance racial reconciliation—despite the book’s containing a majority of chapters by black thinkers. I quickly learned that for some evangelicals, certain black voices are not worth listening to. Among those voices is that of Voddie Baucham, a pastor in the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) who now serves as dean of a seminary in... Read more
