Part of Me

Last updated on: November 7, 2017 at 8:12 am By D. G. Hart

Why do evangelicals specifically and Americans more generally think that religion or politics or some kind of moral conviction needs to define all parts of personal identity? Read more

If Not Evangelical, What?

Last updated on: October 25, 2017 at 11:45 am By D. G. Hart

The idea of abandoning evangelicalism is not new. Low Tide How is it that a religious movement, begun in the decade after World War II, that appears to be running out of gas, caught on at exactly the same time with people who would normally rank as some of the most skeptical and irreligious? One obvious answer is politics. Evangelicalism came to national attention when believers claiming that identity entered the drama (stage right, of course)of electoral politics. That occurrence...

With Obama Christmas was Merry?

Last updated on: October 20, 2017 at 12:10 pm By D. G. Hart

Jamie Smith has a mildly clever take on President Trump’s comments about Christmas greetings. To Trump’s remark that we will be saying Merry Christmas again without embarrassment, Smith reminds the POTUS that the holiday is political in ways not intended: The biblical account of the birth of Jesus Christ is drenched in political significance. His genealogy in the Gospel of Matthew makes Him royalty, the heir of King David. The titles Savior and Messiah, which we imagine are merely religious,... Read more

When You Fault Evangelicals for Being Unreasonable, Maybe You Make Sure to Use Reason

Last updated on: October 17, 2017 at 8:28 am By D. G. Hart

A conservative columnist at the Washington Post claims that evangelicals are proving their harshest critics right because they defend Donald Trump. But her reasons don't make sense. Read more

They Will Know We are Christians by Our Condemnation

Last updated on: October 10, 2017 at 4:19 pm By D. G. Hart

Jemar Tisby writes at CNN about Vice President Pence’s allegedly outrageous behavior at the Indianapolis Colt’s football game on Sunday (and it wasn’t violating the Fourth Commandment): Even though I agree with the players who are kneeling to protest an unjust criminal justice system, I also support Pence’s right to walk out of a football game. The real issue in the vice president’s actions isn’t free speech. It’s that his performance of outrage is opportunism of the basest and most... Read more

The Greatest Show on Earth

Last updated on: October 6, 2017 at 12:09 pm By D. G. Hart

I was catching up on Bloggingheads TV podcasts this morning and heard Robert Wright (around minute 25) in his discussion of group psychology with Jay Van Bavel describe Donald Trump in terms that would calm everyone down if they could simply remember that the president is not a cardboard cut out of evil but simply a regular human being with the same issues of pride and selfishness that afflict all human beings. It’s just that Trump doesn’t have the same... Read more

If You Read with the Church, May you Blog Alone?

Rare is the ill will coming from either side of the Tiber in this year of Protestantism’s 500th anniversary, but David Mills reminds Roman Catholics and Protestants why the Reformation is flawed from Rome’s perspective. It turns out that the stress on the Bible is a weakness because Protestants don’t interpret and understand Scripture in accord with — wait for it — the church: “They really know their Bible,” Catholics say of our Evangelical friends. They say it with admiration.... Read more

How to Honor Rebels

Last updated on: September 28, 2017 at 3:18 pm By D. G. Hart

The controversy surrounding monuments to Confederate officers and soldiers got me wondering about how other countries deal with former dissidents. What, for instance, do the British do with American revolutionaries freedom fighters? According to Edwin Lerner, London alone has six statues of U.S. presidents. FDR wouldn’t be a surprise since his relationship to Winston Churchill was crucial to the Allies success in World War II: [Roosevelt’s] statue stands in Grosvenor Square where there has been an American presence for over...
