In the time of King David, the tribe of Issachar pro\u00adduced shrewd war\u00adriors \u201cwho under\u00adstood the times and knew what Israel should do\u201d (1 Chron 12:32). In a sim\u00adi\u00adlar way, we need to become wise peo\u00adple whose faith inter\u00adacts with the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

To that end, on Fri\u00addays I\u2019ve been shar\u00ading articles\/resources I have found help\u00adful recent\u00adly in think\u00ading about broad\u00ader cul\u00adtur\u00adal and soci\u00adetal issues (be sure to see the dis\u00adclaimer at the bot\u00adtom). May these give you greater insight, so that you may con\u00adtin\u00adue the tra\u00addi\u00adtion of Issachar. Past emails are archived at <\/span>http:\/\/glenandpaula.com\/wordpress\/category\/links<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

With\u00adout fur\u00adther ado, I give you the inter\u00adest\u00ading things:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Down\u00adward\u00adly Mobile For Jesus<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>Lawrence Lana\u00adhan<\/span>, <\/span>Al Jazeera): this is a real\u00adly well-writ\u00adten and engag\u00ading sto\u00adry that weaves togeth\u00ader faith, race, pover\u00adty and jus\u00adtice.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. If you are in the social sci\u00adences, read this jour\u00adnal arti\u00adcle from <\/span>Behav\u00adioral and Brain Sci\u00adences<\/span><\/i>:<\/span> Polit\u00adi\u00adcal Diver\u00adsi\u00adty Will Improve Social Psy\u00adcho\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal Sci\u00adence<\/span><\/a> (sum\u00adma\u00adry by one of the authors <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>). There is an arti\u00adcle with relat\u00aded insights at <\/span>The Amer\u00adi\u00adcan Soci\u00adol\u00ado\u00adgist<\/span><\/i>: <\/span>How Ide\u00adol\u00ado\u00adgy Has Hin\u00addered Soci\u00ado\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal Insight<\/span><\/a>. There are many implied reli\u00adgious issues at play besides the polit\u00adi\u00adcal ones which are the focus of these two pieces.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Sad truths: <\/span>The Decline and Fall Of Amer\u00adi\u00adcan Polit\u00adi\u00adcal Debate<\/span><\/a> (John David\u00adson, <\/span>The Fed\u00ader\u00adal\u00adist<\/span><\/i>). David\u00adson says \u201cour frag\u00admen\u00adta\u00adtion and insu\u00adlar\u00adi\u00adty has reached a dan\u00adger\u00adous tip\u00adping point: we no longer agree on what\u2019s real.\u201d Read espe\u00adcial\u00adly the sec\u00adtion labeled \u201cTake Two Recent Exam\u00adples.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. A sur\u00adpris\u00ading<\/span>ly fas\u00adci\u00adnat\u00ading arti\u00adcle:<\/span> More Tit\u00adil\u00adlat\u00aded Than Thou: How the Amish Con\u00adquered the Evan\u00adgel\u00adi\u00adcal Romance Mar\u00adket<\/span><\/a> (Ann Newu\u00admann, <\/span>The Baf\u00adfler<\/span><\/i>). Real\u00adly. <\/span><\/li>\n
  5. An unex\u00adpect\u00aded per\u00adspec\u00adtive: <\/span>Why The Best Thing This Gen\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion Can Do Is Put Down The Drink<\/span><\/a> (Alex\u00adia LaFe\u00adta, <\/span>Elite Dai\u00adly<\/span><\/i>): the com\u00adments sec\u00adtion, unsur\u00adpris\u00ading\u00adly, is filled with vit\u00adri\u00adolic objec\u00adtions. Some of the lan\u00adguage in the arti\u00adcle, inci\u00adden\u00adtal\u00adly, is less than refined and gen\u00adteel.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. This is Timi\u2019s mom: <\/span>Funke Opeke: Nige\u00adri\u00ada\u2019s Cyber Rev\u00ado\u00adlu\u00adtion\u00adary<\/span><\/a> (Femke van Zei\u00adjl, Al Jazeera). I hope her name is pro\u00adnounced the way I am pro\u00adnounc\u00ading it in my head, because that would be awe\u00adsome. Also, Timi\u2019s mom is a boss.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Disclaimer<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Chi Alpha is not a par\u00adti\u00adsan orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtion. To para\u00adphrase anoth\u00ader min\u00adis\u00adter: we are not about the donkey\u2019s agen\u00adda and we are not about the elephant\u2019s agen\u00adda \u2014 we are about the Lamb\u2019s agen\u00adda. Hav\u00ading said that, I read wide\u00adly (in part because I believe we should aspire to pass<\/span> the ide\u00ado\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal Tur\u00ading test<\/span><\/a> and in part because I do not believe I can fair\u00adly say \u201cI agree\u201d or \u201cI dis\u00adagree\u201d until I can say \u201cI under\u00adstand\u201d) and may at times share arti\u00adcles that have a strong par\u00adti\u00adsan bias sim\u00adply because I find the arti\u00adcle stim\u00adu\u00adlat\u00ading. The upshot: you should not assume I agree with every\u00adthing an author says in an arti\u00adcle I men\u00adtion, much less things the author has said in oth\u00ader arti\u00adcles.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
