  Amos 5:24 In-Context

  22 Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Though you bring choice fellowship offerings, I will have no regard for them.

  23 Away with the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps.

  24 But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!

  25 "Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings forty years in the wilderness, people of Israel?

  26 You have lifted up the shrine of your king, the pedestal of your idols, the star of your godOr "lifted up Sakkuth your king" / "and Kaiwan your idols," / "your star-gods" ; Septuagint "lifted up the shrine of Molek" / "and the star of your god Rephan," / "their idols" - which you made for yourselves.

There is No Perfect Fuel
When es to energy policy, there is no perfect fuel. But in these debates, as elsewhere, the imaginary perfect fuel cannot e the enemy of the good. And for the first time in recent memory, this means that nuclear energy, by all accounts a good alternative for the scale of demand we face, might be getting a seat at the table. Coal, which still provides more than half of the energy for the American grid, is cheap and plentiful, but...

Says Paul Tillich in 1967: The anti-religious attitude of almost half of present-day mankind is rooted in this seemingly professiorial struggle between Hegel, Feuerbach, and Marx, with both of the ing from Hegel. Feuerbach turned Hegel upside down, and then Marx introduced the sociological element. The projection of the transcendent world is the projection of the disinherited in this world. This was such a powerful argument that it convinced the masses of people. It took more than...

Acton Commentary: Pope Benedict’s Defense of Authentic Equality
Distributed today on Acton News & Commentary: Pope Benedict’s Defense of Authentic Equality By Michael Miller Once again the mild-mannered but intellectually fierce Pope Benedict XVI has provoked criticism over remarks that challenge the secular establishment’s provincial understanding of the world. In his speech to the bishops of England and Wales in Rome last week, during their ad limina visit, the Pope encouraged them to fight against so-called equality legislation. He argued that such legislation limits “the freedom of munities...
Pope Benedict and True Corporate Social Responsibility
In a private audience held this past weekend with Rome’s water and pany, ACEA, Benedict XVI expressed to local business leaders his priorities for improving true corporate social responsibility within business enterprises.

Benedict received a copy of the book “Entrepreneurs for the Common Good ” (published by the Christian Union of Entrepreneurs and Managers as part its series of short monographs “Christian...
Got a feelin’ for Eco-Justice?
It’s not easy being a global warming alarmist these days, what with the cascading daily disclosures of Climategate. But if you are a global warming alarmist operating within the progressive/liberal precincts of churches and their activist organizations, you have a potent option, one that the climatologists and policy wonks can only dream about when they get cornered by the facts. You can play the theology card! Over at the National Council of Churches Eco-Justice Program blog, writer “jblevins” is troubled...
