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.<\/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. The Ulti\u00admate List of Birth\u00adday Free\u00adbies<\/span><\/a> (Stan\u00adford Dai\u00adly, Saman\u00adtha Wong): This is, with\u00adout a doubt, one of the most use\u00adful links I have ever shared with you. Not so much about broad\u00ader soci\u00adetal issues \u2014 but you\u2019ll want to read it nonethe\u00adless.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. The Anti-Free Speech Move\u00adment at UCLA<\/span><\/a> (The Atlantic, Conor Frieder\u00ads\u00addorf): I par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly liked this b<\/span>it: \u201cThe col\u00adlege stu\u00addents fight\u00ading to lim\u00adit free speech or to pun\u00adish free expres\u00adsion are court\u00ading tremen\u00addous harms that would ulti\u00admate\u00adly fall dis\u00adpro\u00adpor\u00adtion\u00adate\u00adly on the least pow\u00ader\u00adful, most mar\u00adgin\u00adal\u00adized groups of the present and future\u2026. activists who say that they live in a sys\u00adtem of white suprema\u00adcy [should not] empow\u00ader state admin\u00adis\u00adtra\u00adtors to police speech at their dis\u00adcre\u00adtion!\u201d<\/span>  For much more, check out UCLA law prof Eugene Volokh\u2019s <\/span>com\u00adments on cam\u00adpus free\u00addom of speech<\/span><\/a> (some of which are quot\u00aded in the Frieder\u00ads\u00addorf arti\u00adcle).<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Cash Strapped Mis\u00adsion\u00adar\u00adies Get A New Call\u00ading: Home<\/span><\/a> (Wall Street Jour\u00adnal, Tama\u00adra Audi): this is sad. I encour\u00adage you to pray for and give to mis\u00adsion\u00adar\u00adies.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Refram\u00ading The Debate About Pay\u00adday Lend\u00ading<\/span><\/a> (the blog of the New York Fed): Fas\u00adci\u00adnat\u00ading. I\u2019ve been crit\u00adi\u00adcal of pay\u00adday lenders in the past, but at least some of my mis\u00adgiv\u00adings appear to have been off the mark.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. A Black Leg\u00adend Refut\u00aded<\/span><\/a> (Catholic World Report): this is a review of <\/span>Church of Spies: The Pope\u2019s Secret War Against Hitler. <\/i>The<\/span> review is from a biased source, but is the most detailed of the reviews I\u2019ve seen. Kirkus Reviews, a sec\u00adu\u00adlar source, also has <\/span>good things<\/span><\/a> to say about it as does <\/span>First Things<\/span><\/a>, which is in between the two ide\u00ado\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly. The book\u2019s <\/span>endorse\u00adments<\/span><\/a> are impres\u00adsive.<\/span><\/li>\n
