Things Glen Found Interesting<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. How To Pray A Psalm<\/span><\/a> (Justin Taylor, Gospel Coalition): prayer life need a boost? Give this a try. <\/span><\/li>\n
  2. A College Is A Community But It Cannot Be A Home<\/a> (Conor Friedersdorf, The Atlantic): forget college. This whole world is not your home \u2014 1 Peter 2:11; Hebrews 13:14.<\/li>\n
  3. Is Plagiarism A Sin?<\/span><\/a> (Gervase Markham, personal blog): this is well-argued and raises issues I had not considered before.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Split Over Donald Trump and Cut Off by Culture Wars, Evangelicals Despair<\/a> (Laurie Goodstein, NY Times): an unusually perceptive piece from the often oblivious-to-religion New York Times<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  5. Science Denialism: Pot. Kettle. Black.<\/span><\/a> (David Heddle, personal blog): a nuclear physicist gives an stimulating summary of cosmological fine-tuning and how both theists and skeptics often misunderstand it.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Economic Freedom and Religion: An Empirical Investigation<\/span><\/a> (SSRN): \u201c<\/span>Our cross-sectional dataset includes 137 countries averaged over the period 2001\u20132010. Simple correlations show that Protestantism is associated with economic freedom, Islam is not, with Catholicism in between.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Can Islam and Liberalism Coexist?<\/span><\/a> (Isaac Chotiner, Slate): an absolutely fascinating interview with <\/span>Shadi Hamid. \u201cDuring the course of our conversation\u2026 we discussed why liberals have trouble taking religion seriously, the future of Islamist politics in Turkey and Egypt, and what the rise of Donald Trump has meant for American Muslims.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
