Here Milton Friedmann talks about greed and ambition as the fundamental driving force behind capitalism and a free society. So can Christians endorse and support Capitalism?

Man participates by God’s grace (2.19) in [...]

The Anti-Federal Vision study bible is always naughty and usually quite funny. I like this post on Limited Atonement. And no, I’m not going to say whether or not I am an Amyraldian or not (don’t be mean, James).

[Hyperbole warning]
We were thinking today at the office. Why is Islam so attractive? In part, maybe, because it actually offers its adherents an alternative society. Not merely a private trendy spirituality, but an actual alternative worldview, culture and community. As Leithart would say, an alternative polis.
The Roman Catholic church does/is doing that. I think Pope [...]

From the News section in the CANA website. The following letter was sent to the Anglican District of Virginia in 2003, following the crisis in ECUSA sparked by the consecration of a practising homosexual bishop:
