When the Illusionists Believe They’re Performing Real Magic

Last updated on: December 18, 2017 at 7:57 am By Guest Contributor

by Tom Fuerst It’s one thing for Christians to have a particular perspective on the end-times and how it’ll all play out. But a segment of the Christian population has taken their end-times scheme into their own hands, for years now, attempting to elect politicians who will arrange the political pecking order in such a way that their eschatological agenda is forcibly realized. They lobby and promote agendas that privilege Israel, no matter whether Israel is just or good to... Read more

Donald Trump, Religious Freedom, and the African American vote

Last updated on: December 19, 2017 at 10:08 am By Andre E. Johnson

from The Rhetoric of Religious Freedom in the United States, edited by Eric C. Miller. (Lexington Books, 2017). Abstract: In this chapter, I examine Donald Trump’s rhetoric of religious freedom specifically aimed at appealing to black voters. I first examine briefly two speeches given to predominately-white audiences. In those speeches, while arguably focusing his appeal on economics and jobs, he did it by creating a dystopian view of the African American community. It was this dystopian view and his promise to...

Morality and Work Place Ethics

Last updated on: December 3, 2017 at 3:18 pm By Guest Contributor

by T. Max Christie McMillan In a previous post on Facebook, I explained that flirting and sexual harassment are not one and the same, citing my extensive HR (Employee Relations/EEO) experience as part of the premise for my position. This gave rise to some questions, concerns, and some comment section and inbox push back. So, allow me to be clear. If you look at what is happening to men in the public eye and this scares you, consider what you are... Read more

Re-Imagining The Church

Last updated on: December 3, 2017 at 3:04 pm By Guest Contributor

by Derrick Holmes I believe that our deepest love for something (or someone) is often made manifest in how honest we are about its current state. This demonstrates the depth of the devotion we have toward it. It must be the most genuine variety of love for the feeling to remain despite the dysfunction or demons (pun intended) evident in them. That love not only exposes things that might be wrong but it also empowers us to confidently confront the... Read more

On Black Eloquence; or the Elocution of Freedom

Last updated on: November 3, 2017 at 11:33 am By Guest Contributor

by Ernest Gibson III To the young white man who asked me, “Dr. Gibson, where did you get your eloquence?” I am writing you here, as I am afraid I was unable to be completely honest in the moment in which you posed the question. You see, I have mastered the art of taming my rage, of offering it in such a way that it would not be disruptive. I suppose we might say that it too has an eloquence... Read more
