July Intermission: From Cosplaying Civil Rights to Exploring the Creation of the World
We transition from considering Civil Rights (and wrongs) to beholding the most foundational chapters in the Bible. Here we provide a recap of July 2023’s articles and a preview of our theme for August 2023: In the Beginning: A Theological Exploration of Genesis 1-11.
One Constitution, or Two? Reviewing The Age of Entitlement by Christopher Caldwell

2.33 Stephen Wellum, David Schrock • Interview • “Thinking Biblically and Theologically Justice”
Today’s “social justice” masquerades as truth but is completely untethered from God and his self-revelation in Scripture. To rightly understand justice, we must ground our thinking firmly in the Word of God.
