Why a Christian Anthropology Matters for Liberty and Love

Last updated on: February 3, 2015 at 12:42 pm By Acton Institute

By Charlie Self Dorothy Sayers, playwright, novelist and Christian scholar, wrote an important work in the 1930s entitled, Are Women Human? In her essay, she presents the biblical case for gender equality in a humorous and insightful way, grounding mutuality in theological anthropology. From the Genesis narratives to the new earth of Revelation, she affirms this thesis: We are all human beings, made in the image of God with a job to do. And we do our jobs as a man or a woman....

A Challenge to ‘Work-Life Balance’

Last updated on: January 29, 2015 at 3:03 am By Acton Institute

By Joseph Sunde Upon the birth of our third child, I took a brief “vacation” from “work” (quotes intended). The time spent with family was special, joyous, and fulfilling, yet given the extreme lack of sleep, the sudden rush of behavioral backlash from Toddler Siblings 1 and 2, and a host of new scarcities and constraints, it was also a whole heap of work. Needless to say, when I arrived back at the office just a week later, I felt like... Read more

Communion and Consumerism

Last updated on: January 29, 2015 at 2:48 am By Acton Institute

By Rev. Gregory Jensen The Anglican Archbishop of York, John Sentamu, made a number of very good points about the moral and spiritual dangers of consumerism in a recent talk. And from a certain perspective he’s right when he says that consumer society is a “mechanism for distributing unhappiness.” As he says, “When money rules, we remember the price of things and forget the value of things.” Sentamu is on less sure ground in his assertion that “the whole of consumer...

How to Develop a Christian Mind in Business School (Part IV)

Last updated on: January 29, 2015 at 2:48 am By Acton Institute

By Joe Carter Note: This is the fourth in a series on developing a Christian mind in business school. Read Part I, Part II, and Part III. As I mentioned in the last post, when I talk about developing a Christian mind in b-school I’m referring primarily to learning how to think Christianly about things as they are symbolized, things as they are known, and things as they are communicated. That is, how to think Christianly about the three business arts taught in business school: quantification, orientation, and... Read more

For more on the Economy of Wonder, watch the trailer for Episode 6 and order For the Life of the World: Letters to the Exiles. (Originally published at the FLOW blog) Read more

Why Do Black Lives Matter?

Last updated on: January 26, 2015 at 6:08 pm By Acton Institute

By Anthony Bradley “Black lives matter.” “All lives matter.” These slogans may forever summarize the deep tensions in American life in 2014. Catalyzed by the deaths of Michael Brown, Eric Garner, and two New York Police officers who were murdered while sitting in a police car, Americans are in the midst of a crisis of human dignity. Are we still able to articulate why anyone’s life matters? We can loudly protest that “Black lives matter” but it will mean nothing in the... Read more

God Is With You in the Workplace (Whether You Know It or Not)

Last updated on: January 15, 2015 at 10:03 pm By Acton Institute

This post is part of a symposium on vocation between the Patheos Faith and Work Channel and the Patheos Evangelical Channel. Question: How can I persevere at work even when I don’t see God? By Joseph Sunde We’ve seen a renewed focus among Christians on the deeper value, meaning, and significance of our daily work, leading to lots of reflection on how we might “find God in the workplace.” As a result, Christians are becoming ever more attentive to things like vocation and calling,...

How to Develop a Christian Mind in Business School (Part III)

Last updated on: January 13, 2015 at 1:33 am By Acton Institute

By Joe Carter Note: This is the third in a series on developing a Christian mind in business school. Read Part I and Part II When people ask me what business school was like, I’m tempted to say, “A lot like a medieval university.” Unfortunately, that comparison makes people think b-school is dark, musty, and full of monks—which is not quite what I mean. In medieval universities, the three subjects that were considered the first three stages of learning were the trivium: grammar, logic, and... Read more

The Forms of Stewardship

Last updated on: January 8, 2015 at 2:51 am By Acton Institute

The following excerpt comes from Faithful in All God’s House, and is reprinted here with the permission of Christian’s Library Press. By Lester DeKoster and Gerard Berghoef Stewardship is far more than the handling of our money. Stewardship is the handling of life, and time, and destiny. Money does indeed do many things. Using our money as good stewards is certainly one of the severest tests of our citizenship in his kingdom. However, stewardship extends beyond giving money. THE COMMON FORMS... Read more
