By aligning themselves with those who use a combination of racial theory and customized theology to promote a false narrative for the sake of Palestinian nationalism, the Telos Group is complicit in an ideological process that is not only anti-Israel, but one that leads to some very dark consequences. http://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2014/05/check-your-speaker-list Read more

Dehumanizing others through censorship does not befit the academy, but the pigpen. http://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2014/05/13190/?utm_source=The+Witherspoon+Institute&utm_campaign=dfced0b24f-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_15ce6af37b-dfced0b24f-84107317 Read more

[Friends: When you open this up, scroll to the bottom, and notice the probable age of this writer.] Ideas should never be banned from an academic community, even if some find them offensive. Yet some actions and events are so hateful that they tear at the fabric of a community. http://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2014/05/13182/?utm_source=The+Witherspoon+Institute&utm_campaign=f956768ce0-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_15ce6af37b-f956768ce0-84107317 Read more

Until recently, the 100-million strong Evangelical community was an enthusiastic friend of the Jewish State • But in the past few years, Evangelical Millennials have grown increasingly attracted to anti-Israel messages http://mida.org.il/2014/05/08/israel-losing-support-evangelicals/ Read more

Opponents of free speech have chalked up many campus victories lately as ideological conformity marches on. http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303701304579550340222538088 Read more

How many black Africans in other countries spoke admiringly about South African apartheid as a model they’d like their own countries to follow? The answer, of course, is not many–and if Israel really practiced apartheid against Arabs, Middle Eastern Arabs would respond similarly to an equivalent question about Israel. Yet in fact, Arabs throughout the Middle East persistently cite Israeli democracy as the model they’d like their own countries to adopt. http://www.commentarymagazine.com/2014/05/09/israeli-apartheid-to-arabs-its-a-model-democracy/ Read more

The only form of marriage that existed before the fall was between one man and one woman. The narrative trajectory of the Old Testament shows that all other versions were the result of sin. http://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2014/05/13054/?utm_source=The+Witherspoon+Institute&utm_campaign=c1437a4c5e-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_15ce6af37b-c1437a4c5e-84107317 Read more

As many among the Christian Left champion birth control without regard for its harmful effects on women and stand ready to offer over religious liberty in exchange for tax-payer funded contraception, abortifacients, and at times, abortion, it’s time for our faith community to reevaluate alternatives. It’s time evangelicals start talking about Natural Family Planning (NFP). http://juicyecumenism.com/2014/05/05/why-arent-evangelicals-talking-about-natural-family-planning/?utm_source=flocknote&utm_medium=email&utm_term=23&utm_content=why-arent-evangelicals-talking-about-natural-family-planning&utm_campaign=Weekly%20Wrap%20Up%205-6-14 Read more

Today the U.S. Supreme Court once again affirmed that the so-called “wall of separation” that exists between church and state is not quite the edifice that liberals would like it to be. http://mosaicmagazine.com/picks/2014/05/freedom-for-religion/?utm_source=Mosaic+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=22d24eef09-2014_5_8&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0b0517b2ab-22d24eef09-41159925 Read more

The interview begins to go wrong for Gilmore (and right for the rest of us) when he asks about “Rainy Day Women.” Dylan says that those who view it as a drug song “aren’t familiar with the Book of Acts.” This comment goes so far over Gilmore’s head that he can’t even respond to it. http://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2014/05/bob-dylan-must-get-stoned?utm_source=First+Things+Subscribers&utm_campaign=0315a3eb1c-5_6_145_6_2014&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_28bf775c26-0315a3eb1c-172554629 Read more
