  1. Mid\u00addle Knowl\u00adedge and the Calvin\u00adist-Armin\u00adian Debate<\/span><\/a> (Craig Blomberg, per\u00adson\u00adal blog): This is what I was talk\u00ading about in my ser\u00admon this week. Also see the <\/span>YouTube video<\/span><\/a> where Dr. William Lane Craig explains it to a Sun\u00adday School class.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. What Apple\u2019s Encryp\u00adtion Fight Has To Do With Reli\u00adgious Free\u00addom<\/span><\/a> (Chelsea Langston, Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty Today): \u201c[Apple\u2019s] exam\u00adple reminds us of the broad impor\u00adtance of pro\u00adtect\u00ading organizations\u2014both sec\u00adu\u00adlar and reli\u00adgious, for-prof\u00adit and non-profit\u2014from com\u00adpul\u00adsion to act against their most foun\u00adda\u00adtion\u00adal val\u00adues.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. How To Hack An Elec\u00adtion<\/span><\/a> (Jor\u00addan Robert\u00adson, Michael Riley, and Andrew Willis, Bloomberg Busi\u00adness\u00adweek): this is a fas\u00adci\u00adnat\u00ading and unset\u00adtling arti\u00adcle. \u2018On the ques\u00adtion of whether the U.S. pres\u00adi\u00adden\u00adtial cam\u00adpaign is being tam\u00adpered with, he is unequiv\u00ado\u00adcal. \u201cI\u2019m 100 per\u00adcent sure it is,\u201d he says.\u2019<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Is Islam a Reli\u00adgion of Peace? A For\u00admer Mus\u00adlim Weighs In.<\/span><\/a> (Dar\u00adgan Thomp\u00adson, Rel\u00ade\u00advant Mag\u00ada\u00adzine): \u201cWhat I\u2019m say\u00ading is the foun\u00adda\u00adtions of Islam\u2014I\u2019m talk\u00ading about the Quran and the life of Muhammed\u2014are very vio\u00adlent. Islam can be for\u00admu\u00adlat\u00aded in non-vio\u00adlent ways, but to do so, you have to depart from its foun\u00adda\u00adtions, as many Mus\u00adlims do.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Reli\u00adgion is the Foun\u00adda\u00adtion of Democ\u00adra\u00adcy and Pros\u00adper\u00adi\u00adty<\/span><\/a> (Clay\u00adton Chris\u00adtensen, Mor\u00admon Per\u00adspec\u00adtives): the author, a Har\u00advard pro\u00adfes\u00adsor, talks about a con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion he had with a friend, \u201cI learned the impor\u00adtance of reli\u00adgion for the strength of democ\u00adra\u00adcy and cap\u00adi\u00adtal\u00adism in a con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion 12 years ago with a Marx\u00adist econ\u00ado\u00admist from Chi\u00adna who was near\u00ading the end of a Ful\u00adbright Fel\u00adlow\u00adship in Boston. I asked my friend if he had learned here any\u00adthing that was sur\u00adpris\u00ading or unex\u00adpect\u00aded. His response was imme\u00addi\u00adate and, to me, quite pro\u00adfound: \u2018I had no idea how crit\u00adi\u00adcal reli\u00adgion is to the func\u00adtion\u00ading of democ\u00adra\u00adcy and cap\u00adi\u00adtal\u00adism.\u2019 \u201d<\/span><\/li>\n

    Why Do You Send This Email?<\/b><\/h3>\n

    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. I pray this email gives you greater insight, so that you may con\u00adtin\u00adue the tra\u00addi\u00adtion of Issachar.<\/span><\/p>\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 (although if I strong\u00adly dis\u00adagree with some\u00adthing in the arti\u00adcle I\u2019ll usu\u00adal\u00adly men\u00adtion it).<\/span><\/p>\n

    Also, remem\u00adber that I\u2019m not report\u00ading news \u2014 I\u2019m giv\u00ading you a selec\u00adtion of things I found inter\u00adest\u00ading. There\u2019s a lot hap\u00adpen\u00ading in the world that\u2019s not mak\u00ading an appear\u00adance here because I haven\u2019t found stim\u00adu\u00adlat\u00ading arti\u00adcles writ\u00adten about it.<\/span><\/p>\n
