Green gospel of Biblical proportions
Green gospel of Biblical proportions
Dec 16, 2025 11:48 AM

Courtesy the Evangelical Ecologist, “A group called ‘Operation Noah’ has re-written parts of Scripture to fit their climate change message,” and goes on pare two “versions” of Psalm 24.

I suppose this is just the next logical progression; if Scripture can’t be twisted by some perverse hermeneutic to fit your agenda, just change the text!

Author Ruth Jarman writes, “I hope it doesn’t look sacrilegious to re-write the word of God according to Ruth.” No matter if it actually is sacrilegious…just so it doesn’t look like it.

Otherwise, how would this bit of (unaltered) Scripture apply?

The apocalyptic style in 21st century environmentalism
We’ve just put online the Fall 2020 issue of Religion & Liberty, which looks at environmental stewardship and current problems in conservation from a number of aspects (get over to Acton’s Facebook page ment on the articles). In the cover story, I wrote about the demands for a “citizen’s assembly” to accelerate the agenda of the radical environmental organization Extinction Rebellion. Presumably, these new assemblies won’t involve elected bodies like the U.S. Congress or the Parliament of the United Kingdom:...

It reveals the effectiveness of marketing and advertising as well as the weight of a review. In this respect, even the worst sellers provide high quality information. Best seller lists, such as The New York Times, are the products of...

Why Scruton matters
The Marxist atheist culture, in particular, aimed to root out beauty, precisely because beauty was a spiritual force for contemplating the divine and for inspiring creative thinking beyond the mindless and mand-and-control mentality. Read More… The late Sir Roger Scruton, the eminent philosopher of aesthetics, politics, liberty, and culture, returned home to his Creator last Sunday. Scruton was famous, among other things, for running an underground university for Czechoslovakian dissidents during their munist regime while teaching them Western philosophy, history...
Samuel Gregg reviews ‘Islam: Menace or Challenge?’
In his new book, “L’Islam: menace ou défi?” (“Islam: Menace or Challenge?”), Bishop Dominique Rey addresses how Catholics in Europe can best respond to the growth of Islam throughout the continent. While Rey lays out various manifestations of Islam in the book, he chooses to focus mainly on Christianity rather than Islam, writes Samuel Gregg at The Catholic World Report. “Rey is more concerned with how Catholics respond to Islam’s growth throughout Europe.” Islam’s presence in Europe offers Catholics a...

We need national rent control. — Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) January 19, 2020 Sanders is certainly right that we face a housing crisis.

As Germany slows, Europe should worry
In 2019, the mighty German economy, the economic powerhouse of the European Union, grew a mere 0.6 percent. That’s right. It grew just over half a percent. In 2018, Germany grew 1.5 percent. This is not a lot, but it was better than 2019. The German economy is Europe’s largest. Hence, when it goes wrong, things go wrong elsewhere in the EU. As reported in the Wall Street Journal: Germany’s weakness is bad news for Europe, and not just because...
Trump to Davos: Reject the ‘prophets of doom’
President Donald Trump told the world’s foremost government and business leaders to reject the “prophets of doom” and follow “the great eback” during his speech to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, today. President Trump gave a forthright call to unleash human creativity by embracing technological progress, energy exploration, lower taxes, deregulation, and the free market. “This is a time for tremendous hope, and joy, and optimism, and action,” the president told skeptical Davos attendees, who mostly sat in...
Donald Boudreaux on why Oren Cass’s comparative advantage is not discussing comparative advantage
Last week I wrote about the basic economic illiteracy behind of Oren Cass’s case for industrial policy. So basic were the mistakes that I thought perhaps I had misread Cass’s argument. Like the villainous Mugatu from edy Zoolander I asked myself, “Doesn’t anybody notice this? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!” Thankfully the economist Donald Boudreaux, former economics-department chair at George Mason, writing today for AIER has reassured me that Oren parative advantage is not his discussion parative advantage:...
