  John 3:18 In-Context

  16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

  17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

  18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.

  19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.

  20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.

‘What Good Markets Are Good For’
As of this month, I have joined the “What Good Markets Are Good For: Towards a Moral Justification of Free Markets” project as a postdoctoral researcher in theology and economics. The project is a multi-year, multifaceted endeavor, focusing on the central claim that “societies with free-market economies flourish because and in so far as the key market actors (states, businesses and individuals) respect morality, and act virtuously.” The project is headed by Govert Buijs at the VU UniversityAmsterdam, and includes...

Acton books distributed to schools by Theological Book Network
The Acton Institute recently donated a number of titles on faith, work, and economics to the Theological Book Network which will distribute them to its partner institutions in what it calls the ‘Majority World’ (‘Majority World’ is a term coined to replace earlier sometimes anachronistic or misleading terms like ‘Third World’ or ‘Developing World’). The Theological Book Network is a Grand Rapids based non-profit, mitted to the creation and development of Majority World leaders by providing access to educational resources...
New film on Armenian Genocide strikes the right balance
Go see The Promise, a movie opening nationwide tomorrow. Hollywood has mostly ignored the Armenian genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman Turks during World War I, and subsequently pursued by the Turkish Republic. At last we have a film like The Promise, which focuses on the Armenian experience, but also the Greeks and Assyrians who were brutally victimized. There is no uglier word in any language than genocide, which is perhaps why the word is used so sparingly. Both denotatively and...
Samuel Gregg on the fracturing of France

Samuel Gregg covers the current politically disjointed state of Francein a new article for First Things. He maintains an attitude of skepticism and uncertainty towards France’s...
Marine Le Pen’s economics unite populist Right and far-Left
Emmanuel Macron may have won the first round of the French presidential elections on Sunday, but Marine Le Pen won a political victory of her own. The statist undercurrent running through her nationalist and populist policies successfully bridged the gap between France’s “far-Right” and socialist Left, according to Marco Respinti in a new essay for Religion & Liberty Transatlantic. Mainstream French politicians have sought bine disparate ideological strands since at least Charles de Gaulle, who presented his foreign policy as...
6 policies that lead a nation from poverty to prosperity
Why have nations like Hong Kong and Singapore risen to e global economic powerhouses, while resource-rich African nations remain mired in poverty? Abir Doumit, an economist at George Mason University, has identified six pillars capable of lifting a nation to prosperity, no matter where it starts. One of the most important is a small government. “If sustainable economic growth is the goal, there is no substitute for an overall policy agenda of a small state, open markets, stable money, property...
Humans care about economic fairness, not economic inequality
A new study published in the science journal Nature Human Behaviour finds that in most situation people are unconcerned about economic inequality as long as distributions of wealth are fair: There is immense concern about economic inequality, both among the munity and in the general public, and many insist that equality is an important social goal. However, when people are asked about the ideal distribution of wealth in their country, they actually prefer unequal societies. We suggest that these two...
Why Walmart is one of America’s great anti-poverty institutions
It’s an exaggeration to claim, asJohn Tierney does in the latest issue of City Journal, that “no institution or agency has done more to help the poor than Walmart.” After all,the Christian church has certainly done more. I’d even argue that in America individual subsets of the church, such as the Catholic Church and the Southern Baptist Convention, have even done more. But onthe short-list of anti-poverty institutionsthat have done the most forthe poor, Walmart certainly ranks high. Tierney points...
