Kindle Deal: The Cross is Not Enough: Living as Witnesses to the Resurrection by Ross Johnson and Philip Johnson. $1.99.
Seven of the best articles I came across this week:
1. John Stonestreet – Jesus, the Last Adam. The gospel’s contrast between Adam and Jesus never ceases to amaze me.
2. Hannah LaGrand – Thoughtlessness, Sin, and the Call to Think. LaGrand leans on an insight from Hannah Arendt to explore the relationship between laziness and evil.
3. Dante Stewart – The Dying Words of Lemuel Haynes. The African-American pastor died believing Christ was his all.
4. How Facebook Decides Who Sees Your Updates. You probably wonder why.
5. David French – Some Arguments for Muslim Religious Liberty are More Compelling Than Others. French explains why certain arguments on the right and left can be problematic.
6. Margarito Mayo – If Humble People Make the Best Leaders, Why Do We Fall for Charismatic Narcissists? Interesting HBR article about charisma and selfishness in the business world. Implications for church life, too.
7. J. Budziszewski – Is Toleration a Virtue? Lengthy but worthwhile consideration of this question, with Thomas Aquinas’ input.
