The Acton Institute has a strong desire to build on the significant role we are playing in contributing to the intellectual capital in evangelicalism. That is why we are collaborating with Kuyper College in Grand Rapids to produce the first ever English translation of Abraham Kuyper's seminal three-volume Common Grace. That is why Acton also acquired the Grand Rapids-based book imprint Christian's Library Press in June of 2010 and created the NIV Stewardship Study Bible with the Stewardship Council...

In Brazil, A Genius Way To Clean Water

Easy Cases Make Bad Law
Earlier this week the University of Oklahoma chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon was caught on video engaging in a racist chant. The video shows several men wearing tuxedos and riding on a charter bus singing that black students, which the men refer to with a racial slur, could never join their fraternity. The chant also alluded to lynchings. Language warning: The video below contains offensive and racist language. The reaction to this vile, disgraceful video was swift and, for the...
No, Socialism Wouldn’t Succeed ‘If Only Men Were Angels’
When arguing about the merits of a free economy, its defenders often give way to apeculiar line of reasoning that goes something like this: “Socialism would be wonderful if it actually worked, and it could actually work if only men were angels.” Such claims are meantto framesocialists as foolish idealists obsessed with their sillyutopias. But for those of us who believe there’sa certain idealism to thefree society, it’s a rather appalling concession. Indeed,the fundamental problem with socialism isn’t so much...

How to find joy and meaning in your work
One of our favorite coffee shops when we lived in Washington, D.C. in the 1980s was The Daily Grind. The name’s humorous wordplay about everyday work and the delicious fresh-roasted coffee made us smile. But too many of God’s people are not smiling as their alarms sound and they head to their daily tasks. Recent surveys reveal their deep dissatisfaction in their jobs, with few finding joy and significance in their efforts. Last year, Barna Group reported 75 percent of...
Interview: High School ‘Acton Club’
Members of the “Acton Club” of West Catholic High School Culture has either an overly optimistic view of youth culture, or an overly dour and depressing one. However, neither view is entirely true, nor are such disparate opinions very helpful.
