China: Remove pictures of Jesus or lose government aid
The Chinese government demands a small price in exchange for your monthly check: apostasy. Chinese Communist Party officials have ordered impoverished Christians to remove pictures of Jesus from their walls or lose the government aid that’s keeping them alive. Crosses, images of Jesus or verses from the Bible must be replaced with pictures of President Xi Jinping or the greatest mass murderer in history, former dictator Mao Tse-tung. In some cases, party functionaries even require believers who receive poverty relief...
Acton Line podcast: The intersection of faith and economics with Russ Roberts
Since 2006, economist Russ Roberts – the John and Jean De Nault Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution – has hosted the podcast EconTalk, a weekly deep conversation with economists and thinkers from other disciplines on ideas related both directly and indirectly to economics and the economic way of thinking. Economics is a powerful analytic tool which can empower us to choose more wisely as both individuals and groups. Such tools, however, should not be confused as either ends in...
The Political Theology of Global Secularism, Part 1: Globalization and the ideology of global secularism
This is part one of our series, “The Political Theology of Global Secularism.” Check back frequently for ing installments. – Ed. Globalization is plex and multifaceted phenomenon that has many aspects: economic, military, political, and cultural. We tend to think of globalization in its most obvious manifestation in the economic realm. This is even perhaps more the case during the current period of globalization, when pare the restricted trade before the collapse of Communism with the economic integration, global capital...
Hong Kong and the enduring value of the Declaration of Independence
American exceptionalism cannot be appreciated without contrast. Compare these two scenes: On Wednesday night throngs of rioters rampaged through Seattle’s Capitol Hill district, inflicting “massive amounts of property damage, looting,” and “arson” without sustaining a single arrest. One night earlier in Hong Kong, police arrested peaceful protesters so petrified of breaking its Orwellian new “national security law” that they held blank white placards. Few images could throw the principles enshrined in the Declaration of Independence into starker relief. On one...
Acton Line podcast: Richard Baxter and How to Do Good to Many
Richard Baxter, the English Puritan churchman and theologian, was perhaps one of most prolific English language author in the seventeenth century.His writings were wide ranging from doctrinal theology to devotional classics.And his practical theology was a model of German sociologist Max Weber’s understanding of the protestant work ethic. Baxter’s worldly aestheticism was focused on service to others across sectarian divides. His book, How to Do Good to Many: The Public Good is the Christian’s Life, offers practical guidance to lay...
6 quotes: The Report of the Commission on Unalienable Rights
This week, a mittee plished the rarest of all achievements: It produced a government document worth reading. On Thursday, July 16, the U.S. Commission on Unalienable Rights released a clear, enlightened, prehensive report on the origins, authentic content, and illegitimate expansion of human rights. The report is perhaps the best civic education on the matter in decades. “[H]uman rights are now misunderstood by many, manipulated by some, rejected by the world’s worst violators, and subject to ominous new threats,” it...
Culture matters: China’s pre-revolutionary remnants
In our efforts to reduce poverty and spur economic growth, it can be easy to be consumed with top-down policy solutions and debates about the proper allocation of resources. Yet as many economists are beginning to recognize, the distinguishing features of flourishing societies are more readily found at the levels of culture – in our attitudes, beliefs, and imaginations. According to economist David Rose, for example, “it is indeed culture – not genes, geography, institutions, policies, or leadership – that...
Politics as religion: The moral weakness of secular orthodoxies
Although Christianity appears to be on the decline across America, we continue to see the rise of personal spiritualities and politics as religion. With a corresponding lack of moral imagination, we see the over-spiritualization of much else, particularly when es to ideological tribalism. On the Left, we are pressed by a series of identitarian creeds, each based on arbitrary notions of equality and justice and enforced by dogmatic coercion and cultural banishment. On the Right, we see the over-elevation of...
The Tucker Carlson-Sean Hannity showdown: Who was right?
The underlying tensions between national conservatism and a more pro-business Republican orthodoxy burst into the open during a 24-second, primetime exchange on Fox News Channel. During the hand-off between hosts Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity on Tuesday night, Hannity seemingly rebuked his lead-in for criticizing Jeff Bezos’ fortune. A personal rebuff Tucker Carlson closed his top-rated cable news program with a segment dedicated to the Amazon owner, whose net worth surged by $13 billion on Monday – the largest one-day...
Toppling statues tears at the 3 pillars of the West
Were he alive today, what would C.S. Lewis say about the ongoing, violent riots and church desecration being led by “trained Marxists”? As it turns out, we know. The answer lies in a letter that Lewis wrote about UK social protests 80 years ago, which reads as though it were a news dispatch from Portland’s federal courthouse. Christians should have keen interest in his views on this topic. The current unrest, which kicked off 63 days ago, has expanded its...
