The Challenge Israel Represents to Contemporary Christianity
What is this challenge? Simply put, the rationale behind Israel's current political machinations in dealing with the Palestinians is strikingly similar to the Old Testament mandate for the establishment of an Israeli nation-state. While theologians engage in a very dry debate over cultural hermeneutics in relation to understanding the Old Testament's treatment of acts of Canaanite genocide at the hands of Israelites, an increasingly similar situation is unfolding right underneath our noses in modern-day Israel.Give Us Our King
Has President Bush's Christian faith given him the selfless courage to rise above the politics of our day and do what may not be in his best political interests but is purely in the country's best interests? Can you really look at President Bush and see a man who has set aside aspirations for his own legacy or a second term in the interests of what should be most important to our country? Once you admit that President Bush is really little different than Politician Bush, you may begin to see the freedom of thought that is born of recognizing a Good President may not necessarily be a Christian President.June 2004 Bookshelf
A wonderfully written fictional account of a Greek family of immigrants, more geo-political writings on Israel, China and North Korea as well as several books touching on normative pluralism and salvation outside of Christianity.Movie Review: Fahrenheit 9/11
Most of us can agree that Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 is a blistering indictment of the Bush Administration. But is it factual? Is that the most important question of all to ask? Or should we be asking ourselves why it takes a movie at our local Cineplex to get us to have a meaningful discussion about our foreign policy? Love him or hate him, Moore has an insight into American action that is worth contemplating.About MysteriousFaith
“If anyone can show me, and prove to me, that I am wrong in thought or deed, I will gladly change. I seek the truth, which never yet hurt anybody. It is only persistence in self-delusion and ignorance which does harm.”
