Choosing Donald Trump: An interview with Stephen Mansfield

Last updated on: June 28, 2018 at 1:57 pm By Coyle Neal

The 2016 election involved a lot of soul searching on the part of some Evangelicals, a lot of compromise with the world on the part of others, and increased polarization on all sides. Author Stephen Mansfield’s book Choosing Donald Trump explores the question of why 60-80% of the people who opposed Bill Clinton because of his character would vote for an unrepentant philanderer. This is an interview with the author on this and other issues, including the question of whether or... Read more

O. Henry is as Readable as Ever

Last updated on: June 21, 2018 at 5:32 pm By Coyle Neal

Thanks to high school anthologies, many of us have read O. Henry’s work “The Gift of the Magi.” And while it is a fine enough story (if a bit sappy for my tastes), it is not really representative of the whole of O. Henry’s corpus. For that, I strongly recommend a collection of his short stories. (I’ve been reading the Barnes and Noble edition–which is excellent; but this one is cheaper and looks to have the same stories in it.)... Read more

Christian Distinctiveness in the Ancient World

Last updated on: June 15, 2018 at 3:30 pm By Coyle Neal

How did Christianity stand out in the ancient world? What made it different from other religions? In the early 20th century, the dominant theory was that Christianity was just one of many new religions (the Manicheans, the mystery cults, the cult of Mithras, etc) which happened to have better PR and more Machiavellian leadership. That scholarship has been discredited these days, but what then is the truth? Why did Christianity take off in so spectacular–albeit halting–a fashion? To help answer... Read more

There’s no need to ride Pegasus

Last updated on: May 31, 2018 at 2:18 pm By Coyle Neal

When you think of Anne McCaffrey and riders, the first thing that undoubtedly springs to mind is her Pern series. But she has another book (apparently a series) that likewise involves riding mythical beasts–at least so far as its title goes. To Ride Pegasus is the first book of the “Talent Saga”, which explores the implications of the rise of parapsychic powers in the world. You rarely find good theology at used book sales–people who have good theology books don’t give... Read more

What does C.S. Lewis have to say about politics?

Last updated on: May 26, 2018 at 1:03 pm By Coyle Neal

More than you might think. At least, that’s what Justin Dyer and Micah Watson argue in their book C.S. Lewis on Politics and the Natural Law. You can now listen to an interview with Dyer and a talk by Watson below, or through the City of Man podcast (available on Stitcher, iTunes, and elsewhere on the internet).

When wickedness is just tepid

Last updated on: May 26, 2018 at 10:51 am By Coyle Neal

In my continuing quest to be the ultimate anti-hipster, I’ve finally read Wicked long after it was famous (after, that is, both the book or for the musical were well known–the latter of which I know next to nothing about, and couldn’t name a song from if you held a gun to my head). And it was… fine. I mean, after all the hullabaloo that I vaguely remember about it, I was expecting something earth-shakingly amazing. Instead it was, well, it... Read more
