Should all Christians become vegetarians? Pt. 1: On ethics

Last updated on: November 23, 2019 at 10:06 pm By Mark Craymor

Part 1. Framing the Discussion This series of posts exploring the question “Should all Christians become vegetarians?” is born out of a recent seminar I taught. My argument is a work in progress and I’d appreciate helpful feedback/pushback. For full-disclose, I describe myself as pescetarianish (I’ll explain more about what that means in due course). In Part 1, I want to begin to lay the foundation for why this question is one that Christians, particularly American Christians, ought to take... Read more

A curated selection of articles of interest from the past two weeks related to Christianity and culture. News et cetera Of course the Christian Right supports Trump. “But it seems absurd to ask secular people to respect the religious right’s beliefs about sex and marriage — and thus tolerate a degree of anti-gay discrimination — while the movement’s leaders treat their own sexual standards as flexible and conditional. Christian conservatives may believe strongly in their own righteousness. But... Read more

A curated selection of articles of interest from the past week related to Christianity and culture. News et cetera How the #metoo movement became a feminist sexual revolution. “Oh, girls, look what we’ve done now. We’ve gone too far. The growing backlash against the MeToo movement has finally settled on a form that can face itself in the mirror. The charge is hysteria, moral panic, hatred of sex, hatred of men. More specifically, as Andrew Sullivan complained in New York magazine... Read more

Vive la révolution(?): on the ‘progress’ of the sexual revolution

Last updated on: January 18, 2018 at 2:04 pm By Mark Craymor

The Paradox As I’ve tried to pay attention to, study, and understand the common perspectives of sex in our American cultural milieu, I’ve come to the conclusion that we abide by a paradox. The pervasive and paradoxical perspective on sex is this: sex means nothing and sex means everything. On the one hand, we have swiped right (or left, as the case may be) so many times that we’ve dehumanized other persons (and consequently ourselves) into mere pleasure-inducing objects. Sex...

A curated selection of articles of interest from the past week related to Christianity and culture. News et cetera How Americanized Christianity looks to immigrant pastors. ‘perhaps the most significant distinguishing mark of US Christianity is the pervasive individualism that saturates the culture and the church, which differs from the community centered values in other parts of the world.’ (H/T AV) [Christianity Today] I’ve been tracking with David Bentley Hart’s new translation of the New Testament since it...

Refugee: A Poem for the Feast of the Holy Innocents

Last updated on: December 28, 2017 at 7:14 pm By Mark Craymor

December 28 is the Feast of the Holy Innocents, the day the Church remembers and commemorates King Herod’s massacre of all boys two and under after being duped by the wise men. We read about it in the Gospel of Matthew: Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, became furious, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under, according...

A curated selection of articles of interest from the past week related to Christianity and culture. News et cetera Tim Keller answers the question, ‘can evangelicalism survive Donald Trump and Roy Moore?‘ Does the word [evangelical], then, have an ongoing usefulness? For now, the answer may be no. These new urban churches are certainly not mainline Protestant, yet they don’t look at all like what the average person thinks of by the term “Evangelical.” Will these younger churches abandon the...
