  1. Praise & Ques\u00adtions: How Kendrick & Chance Talk to God in Dif\u00adfer\u00adent Ways<\/span><\/a> (Migueli\u00adto, DJ Booth): \u201cI\u2019ve encoun\u00adtered two dif\u00adfer\u00adent kinds of reli\u00adgious believ\u00aders, gen\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly speak\u00ading. The first are those who focus on the gifts of God and the bless\u00adings in their life and take an opti\u00admistic approach to human\u00adi\u00adty. The oth\u00ader group is made up of those who become gripped by the mys\u00adtery sur\u00adround\u00ading such a fig\u00adure and keep an air of skep\u00adti\u00adcism about them.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. How Oxford and Peter Singer drove me from athe\u00adism to Jesus<\/span><\/a> (Sarah Irv\u00ading-Stone\u00adbrak\u00ader, Ver\u00adi\u00adtas): \u201cI grew up in Aus\u00adtralia, in a lov\u00ading, sec\u00adu\u00adlar home, and arrived at Syd\u00adney Uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty as a crit\u00adic of \u2018reli\u00adgion.\u2019  I didn\u2019t need faith to ground my iden\u00adti\u00adty or my val\u00adues\u2026. [how\u00adev\u00ader, while at Oxford] I began to realise that the impli\u00adca\u00adtions of my athe\u00adism were incom\u00adpat\u00adi\u00adble with almost every val\u00adue I held dear.\u201d The author is a his\u00adto\u00adry pro\u00adfes\u00adsor at West\u00adern Syd\u00adney Uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Lis\u00adten\u00ading: An Anti\u00addote to the Mod\u00adern University\u2019s Inco\u00adher\u00adence<\/span><\/a> (Dominic Bur\u00adbidge, The Pub\u00adlic Dis\u00adcourse): insight\u00adful break\u00addown of the three sub-uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adties we dwell with\u00adin: the uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty of ratio\u00adnal\u00adism, the uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty of rev\u00ado\u00adlu\u00adtion, and the uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty of sub\u00adjec\u00adtivism. The author is an admin\u00adis\u00adtra\u00adtor at Oxford. <\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Won\u00adder Woman and the Gen\u00adder Wars<\/span><\/a> (Rus\u00adsell Moore, per\u00adson\u00adal blog): \u201cWon\u00adder Woman does indeed rep\u00adre\u00adsent pow\u00ader, but she also is, in every iter\u00ada\u00adtion, designed to be sex\u00adu\u00adal\u00adly attrac\u00adtive to men. The 1970s-era tele\u00advi\u00adsion series not\u00aded in its theme song, \u2018Fight\u00ading for your rights, in your satin tights, and the old red, white, and blue.\u2019 The rights and the tights were both part of the package\u2014and, from the looks of things, still are.\u201d This piece is quite good.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. The Marines Can Treat Women Hon\u00ador\u00adably With\u00adout Putting Them in the Infantry<\/span><\/a> (David French, Nation\u00adal Review): \u201cThe women-in-infantry debate is the lux\u00adu\u00adry of a soci\u00adety that hasn\u2019t fought a large-scale ground war in gen\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtions, and a seri\u00adous mixed-gen\u00adder exper\u00adi\u00adment wouldn\u2019t sur\u00advive first con\u00adtact with a well-equipped and well-trained oppos\u00ading force.\u201d The author is both a vet\u00ader\u00adan of the Iraq war and a grad\u00adu\u00adate of Har\u00advard Law School. A short but thought\u00adful response to the wide\u00adly-shared Vox arti\u00adcle <\/span>The Marine Corps has a \u201ctox\u00adic mas\u00adculin\u00adi\u00adty\u201d prob\u00adlem<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n
  6. If you haven\u2019t seen it yet, there\u2019s quite the con\u00adtro\u00adver\u00adsy at Ever\u00adgreen Col\u00adlege. There\u2019s a good sum\u00adma\u00adry at <\/span>The blas\u00adphe\u00admy case against Bret Wein\u00adstein, and its four lessons for pro\u00adfes\u00adsors<\/span><\/a> (Jonathan Haidt, Het\u00adero\u00addox Acad\u00ade\u00admy): \u201cI gen\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly oppose zero-tol\u00ader\u00adance poli\u00adcies, but if we are to have one, it should be for vio\u00adlence and intim\u00adi\u00adda\u00adtion on cam\u00adpus.\u201d And this is a good op-ed on the sit\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtion: <\/span>When the Left Turns on Its Own<\/span><\/a> (Bari Weiss, NY Times): \u201cLib\u00ader\u00adals shouldn\u2019t cede the respon\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty to defend free speech on col\u00adlege cam\u00adpus\u00ades to con\u00adser\u00adv\u00ada\u00adtives. After all, with\u00adout free speech, what\u2019s lib\u00ader\u00adal\u00adism about?\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. I\u2019ve seen lots of opin\u00adions about Trump pulling Amer\u00adi\u00adca out of the Paris cli\u00admate agree\u00adment. I was most struck by these two reac\u00adtions that both grant that the agree\u00adment was in some sense just for show but arrive at dif\u00adfer\u00adent con\u00adclu\u00adsions from that premise:<\/span>\n
