Last updated on: February 7, 2012 at 5:10 pm By Kurt Willems

The following is quoted from an article by Greg Stier: 1. I let my nerves drive me to study harder. There’s a great line in the movie Unforgiven when a one-armed deputy is asked why he always loads two guns. His answer was classic, “I don’t want to die for a lack of shooting back.” In the same way I don’t want to choke due to the lack of preparing. I allow my nerves to get me back to the... Read more

History of U.S. Intervention in Iran – 1953 Until Present (58 Years!)

Last updated on: February 7, 2012 at 10:13 am By Kurt Willems

THOUGHTS? A timeline of US involvement in Iran from St. Peace Blog: 1953 – Under orders from President Eisenhower, the CIA organized a military coup that overthrew Iran’s democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh. Britain, unhappy that Iran nationalized its oil industry, came up with the idea for the coup and pressed the United States to mount a joint operation to remove Mossadeqh.For years, the U.S. denied its involvement in the 1953 coup, but in March 2000, then Secretary of...

They Called Me a Communist

Last updated on: February 7, 2012 at 7:29 am By Kurt Willems

From Common Prayer: Dom Helder Camara of Recife (1909 – 1999) Born February 7, 1909, in Fortazela, Brazil, Dom Helder Camara became a bishop of the Catholic Church and one of the twentieth century’s great apostles of nonviolence. After joining a conservative political movement as a young priest, Camara experienced a conversion while ministering among the poor in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. “When I fed the poor they called me a saint,” Camara said. “When I asked why they were...

Evangelical Culture Myths #2: Christianity is Masculine

Last updated on: June 14, 2012 at 5:22 pm By Kurt Willems

Today I continue a long term series called “Evangelical Culture Myths.” I invite you to submit various sorts of cultural myths that we evangelicals tell. I’d love to cover some myths that you are interested in: either theological or practical in nature. Send them to me via email, FB, or Twitter (to tweet ideas, use this #EvangelicalMyths and “@kurtwillems”)! —————————————— Masculine Christianity.* In the new reformed wing of evangelicalism, masculinity is a high value. I wonder what that really means?... Read more

N.T. Wright & Pete Enns Agree: Adam is Israel in Exile!

Last updated on: February 3, 2012 at 8:16 am By Kurt Willems

If you haven’t read my review of Pete Enns’ The Evolution of Adam, you might check that out first and then come back here. In this video, N.T. Wright states the same thing that Pete Enns argues: Israel’s being taken away in Exile is a recapitulation of Adam being cast out of the Garden. For a fuller treatment of this, see this Biologos article. I would venture to say that N.T. Wright would lean a bit more toward the text... Read more

Evolving With Enns: Reflections on “The Evolution of Adam”

Last updated on: February 2, 2012 at 1:30 pm By Kurt Willems

*The following is part of the Evolution of Adam Blog Tour. About four years ago, a glaring issue terrified me. At this point in my spiritual journey, I had dealt with many theological assumptions bequeathed from popular Evangelicalism. The grand shift of recognizing God’s love for the cosmos and God’s intention to join heaven and earth in renewed creation started a chain reaction. Several significant changes can be traced back to this fresh realization in college. With all of the... Read more

For the Love of Mumford: Learning about Love and Forgiveness

Last updated on: February 2, 2012 at 7:31 am By Kurt Willems

*The following originally appeared in Christian Leader and was used with the permission of the author. Buying the 2009 Mumford and Sons album Sigh No More was an incredibly foolish decision. It was an impulsebuy in the intoxicating halls of Amoeba Music, a purchase based on small snippets of these British folks rock songs I had just vaguely heard. It was a fantastic decision. My experience of romantic love has not been altogether perfect. It seems this is a common... Read more
