Things Glen Found Interesting<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. White Chris\u00adt\u00adian Apoc\u00ada\u00adlypse?<\/span><\/a> (Philip Jenk\u00adins, The Amer\u00adi\u00adcan Con\u00adser\u00adv\u00ada\u00adtive): Jenk\u00adins is a well-known his\u00adto\u00adri\u00adan. \u201cOn one crit\u00adi\u00adcal issue, though, con\u00adtem\u00adpo\u00adrary debate and the\u00ado\u00adriz\u00ading real\u00adly is tres\u00adpass\u00ading on my areas of exper\u00adtise.\u201d Jenk\u00adins unpacks some long-term trends and their impli\u00adca\u00adtions for Amer\u00adi\u00adca\u2019s demo\u00adgraph\u00adic des\u00adtiny. <\/span><\/li>\n
  2. The End of Iden\u00adti\u00adty Lib\u00ader\u00adal\u00adism<\/span><\/a> (Mark Lil\u00adla, NY Times): One of the more insight\u00adful things I\u2019ve read late\u00adly. It\u2019s inspired by the recent elec\u00adtion, but is about some\u00adthing much broad\u00ader \u2014 some intrin\u00adsic weak\u00adness\u00ades of iden\u00adti\u00adty pol\u00adi\u00adtics. For a very strong reac\u00adtion against it, read <\/span>Mak\u00ading White Suprema\u00adcy Respectable. Again.<\/span><\/a> (Kather\u00adine Franke, LA Review of Books). Both authors are pro\u00adfes\u00adsors at Colum\u00adbia, which will no doubt make for tense times in the fac\u00adul\u00adty lounge.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Yes, Trump will build his bor\u00adder wall. Most of it is already built.<\/span><\/a> (Peter Andreas, Wash\u00ading\u00adton Post): \u201cIt is impor\u00adtant to remem\u00adber that Trump\u2019s pre\u00adde\u00adces\u00adsors care\u00adful\u00adly avoid\u00aded call\u00ading any new bor\u00adder bar\u00adri\u00aders a \u2018wall.\u2019\u201d Wow. I did not real\u00adize how much of the south\u00adern bor\u00adder is already bar\u00adri\u00adcad\u00aded. It would be help\u00adful if reporters peri\u00adod\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly brought this fact up for con\u00adtext.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Try\u00ading To Think Through The Log\u00adic Of Abor\u00adtion Rights<\/span><\/a> (Justin Tay\u00adlor, The Gospel Coali\u00adtion): Tay\u00adlor sum\u00adma\u00adrizes the argu\u00adments of two phi\u00adlos\u00ado\u00adphy pro\u00adfes\u00adsors. For me, med\u00adi\u00adtat\u00ading on Luke 1:39\u201345 has been impor\u00adtant when think\u00ading about abor\u00adtion. <\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Every\u00adone should have the right to assist\u00aded sui\u00adcide \u2014 or no one should<\/span><\/a> (Feli\u00adcia Nimue Ack\u00ader\u00adman, Vox): \u201ca soci\u00adety that \u2018pathol\u00ado\u00adgizes\u2019 sui\u00adci\u00addal feel\u00adings of indig\u00adni\u00adty and degra\u00adda\u00adtion in rape vic\u00adtims while endors\u00ading them in the ter\u00admi\u00adnal\u00adly ill is, I con\u00adtend, engag\u00ading in a hor\u00adri\u00adfy\u00ading, odi\u00adous form of big\u00adotry.\u201d The author is a phi\u00adlos\u00ado\u00adphy pro\u00adfes\u00adsor at Brown.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\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.<\/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 the ide\u00ado\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal Tur\u00ading test<\/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).<\/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.<\/p>\n
