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, soci\u00adetal and the\u00ado\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal 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.

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

    \n
  1. This Is What Makes Repub\u00adli\u00adcans and Democ\u00adrats So Dif\u00adfer\u00adent<\/span><\/a> (Vox, Ezra Klein): I was skep\u00adti\u00adcal of this piece, but it\u2019s insight\u00adful.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Recog\u00adni\u00adtion: How A Trav\u00ades\u00adty Led to Crim\u00adi\u00adnal-Jus\u00adtice Inno\u00adva\u00adtion In Texas<\/span><\/a>  (New York\u00ader, Paul Kix): this is a pow\u00ader\u00adful arti\u00adcle with a heart\u00adbreak\u00ading sto\u00adry at its cen\u00adter. <\/span><\/li>\n
  3. North Korea Gets Com\u00adpe\u00adti\u00adtion: The Top 50 Coun\u00adtries Where It\u2019s Now Hard\u00adest To Be A Chris\u00adt\u00adian<\/span><\/a> (Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty Today, Sarah <\/span>Zyl\u00adstra). Sober\u00ading and sad\u00adly unsur\u00adpris\u00ading. \u201c<\/span>2014 was the world\u2019s worst year for the per\u00adse\u00adcu\u00adtion of Chris\u00adtians in the mod\u00adern era. Until 2015 sur\u00adpassed it.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Col\u00adlege Par\u00adty Cul\u00adture and Sex\u00adu\u00adal Assault<\/span><\/a> (NBER, Lin\u00addo, Siminksi, Swensen): \u201cWe find sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant and robust evi\u00addence that foot\u00adball game days increase reports of rape vic\u00adtim\u00adiza\u00adtion among 17\u201324 year old women by 28 per\u00adcent. Home games increase reports by 41 per\u00adcent on the day of the game and away games increase reports by 15 per\u00adcent.\u201d They pro\u00adpose par\u00adties asso\u00adci\u00adat\u00aded with the game as a causal mech\u00ada\u00adnism.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Inside Grad\u00adu\u00adate Admis\u00adsions<\/span><\/a> (Inside High\u00ader Ed, Scott Jaschick): if you plan to apply to grad school, read this. There is one reveal\u00ading anec\u00addote about how an admis\u00adsions com\u00admit\u00adtee treat\u00aded an appli\u00adca\u00adtion from a Chris\u00adt\u00adian col\u00adlege stu\u00addent. My take\u00adaway: the pro\u00adfes\u00adsors tried to be fair but found it hard to do, and their stat\u00aded con\u00adcerns were most\u00adly about the qual\u00adi\u00adty of the insti\u00adtu\u00adtion rather than the faith of the appli\u00adcant. Trou\u00adbling nonethe\u00adless.<\/span><\/li>\n
