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. Pay\u00ading, Pray\u00ading It For\u00adward<\/span><\/a> (Hous\u00adton Chron\u00adi\u00adcle, Mag\u00adgie Gor\u00addon): an inspir\u00ading sto\u00adry \u2014 also not very long. If you just want a boost as finals draw near, read this one and skip down to the quick links.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. San Bernadi\u00adno Vic\u00adtim Was Upfront About Pol\u00adi\u00adtics and Reli\u00adgion \u2014 With Farook Too<\/span><\/a> (LA Times, Veron\u00adi\u00adca Rocha): one of the shoot\u00ading vic\u00adtims had been wit\u00adness\u00ading to one of the shoot\u00aders in the days before the car\u00adnage. See some reflec\u00adtion on this issue at <\/span>Anoth\u00ader First Amend\u00adment Ghost: Did Debate With Evan\u00adgel\u00adi\u00adcal Trig\u00adger Farook?<\/span><\/a> (GetRe\u00adli\u00adgion, Ter\u00adry Mat\u00adting\u00adly).<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Why The Pro-Life Move\u00adment Oppos\u00ades Vio\u00adlence<\/span><\/a> (NY Times, Ross Douthat). \u201cGiv\u00aden anti-abor\u00adtion premis\u00ades, why is it not obvi\u00adous\u00adly rea\u00adson\u00adable to take up arms against abor\u00adtion providers? Why isn\u2019t the pro-lif\u00ader who shoots an abor\u00adtion\u00adist just like a man or woman who uses dead\u00adly force against a would-be child mur\u00adder\u00ader \u2014 a vig\u00adi\u00adlante, yes, but also a hero\u00adic one?\u201d See also Rus\u00adsell Moore for a more the\u00ado\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal approach in <\/span>Is Pro-Life Rhetoric Dead\u00adly?<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Relat\u00aded to the sto\u00adries that inspired the pieces in the two pre\u00advi\u00adous bul\u00adlet points: <\/span>How Many Mass Shoot\u00adings Are There, Real\u00adly?<\/span><\/a> (NY Times, Mark Foll\u00adman). It turns out that there\u2019s not a com\u00admon\u00adly accept\u00aded way to quan\u00adti\u00adfy the data. I found this piece fas\u00adci\u00adnat\u00ading. Foll\u00adman is the nation\u00adal affairs edi\u00adtor of Moth\u00ader Jones.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Who Influ\u00adences Whom? Reflec\u00adtions on U.S. Gov\u00adern\u00adment Out\u00adreach to Think Tanks<\/span><\/a> (Brook\u00adings Insti\u00adtute, Jere\u00admy Shapiro): this is an engag\u00ading peek behind the cur\u00adtains at a world some of you will wind up enter\u00ading.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Why The Pub\u00adlic Can\u2019t Read The Press<\/span><\/a> (The Atlantic, John Helt\u00adman): this piece is a bit long for my taste, but the sub\u00adject is impor\u00adtant. There\u2019s a lot of good jour\u00adnal\u00adism you will nev\u00ader be giv\u00aden the chance to see.<\/span><\/li>\n
