<\/a> On Fri\u00addays I share articles\/resources about broad cul\u00adtur\u00adal, soci\u00adetal and the\u00ado\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal issues. Be sure to see the expla\u00adna\u00adtion and dis\u00adclaimers at the bot\u00adtom. I wel\u00adcome your sug\u00adges\u00adtions. If you read some\u00adthing fas\u00adci\u00adnat\u00ading please pass it my way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is vol\u00adume 290, which is an inter\u00adest\u00ading num\u00adber because it is both the prod\u00aduct of three primes (= 2 \u00e2\u2039\u2026 5 \u00e2\u2039\u2026 29) as well as the sum of con\u00adsec\u00adu\u00adtive primes (= 67 + 71+ 73 +79).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Evan\u00adgel\u00adi\u00adcals in Amer\u00adi\u00adca: The Stats May Sur\u00adprise You<\/a> (Ryan Burge, Gospel Coali\u00adtion): \u201c\u2026after look\u00ading at the data for the last 10 years as a quan\u00adti\u00adta\u00adtive social sci\u00aden\u00adtist, I can say with cer\u00adtain\u00adty that although there are clear rea\u00adsons for con\u00adcern, evan\u00adgel\u00adi\u00adcal pres\u00adence in the Unit\u00aded States is stronger than ever before.\u201d The author is a polit\u00adi\u00adcal sci\u00adence pro\u00adfes\u00adsor at East\u00adern Illi\u00adnois Uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty and also a pas\u00adtor in a non-evan\u00adgel\u00adi\u00adcal denom\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion.<\/li>
  2. Reli\u00adgious Com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adty and Human Flour\u00adish\u00ading<\/a> (Tyler J. Van\u00adder\u00adWeele, Psy\u00adchol\u00ado\u00adgy Today): \u201cIn some cas\u00ades, our results close\u00adly repli\u00adcat\u00aded past work. For exam\u00adple, we found that, even after con\u00adtrol\u00adling for the fac\u00adtors above, indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adals who attend\u00aded reli\u00adgious ser\u00advices week\u00adly or more were 16% less like\u00adly to become depressed, and saw a 29% reduc\u00adtion in smok\u00ading and 34% reduc\u00adtion in heavy drink\u00ading. These results match rea\u00adson\u00adably close\u00adly results from sev\u00ader\u00adal pri\u00ador stud\u00adies, includ\u00ading the pri\u00ador meta-analy\u00adses men\u00adtioned above. Some\u00adwhat strik\u00ading\u00adly, but again in line with pri\u00ador analy\u00adsis, week\u00adly ser\u00advice atten\u00addees were 26% less like\u00adly to die<\/em> dur\u00ading the fol\u00adlow-up peri\u00adod.\u201d Van\u00adder\u00adWeele , him\u00adself a Chris\u00adt\u00adian, is an epi\u00addemi\u00adol\u00ado\u00adgist at Har\u00advard and I have shared some of his work before.<\/a><\/li>
  3. When Ama\u00adzon Erased My Book<\/a> (Ryan T. Ander\u00adson, First Things): \u201cAma\u00adzon nev\u00ader informed me or my pub\u00adlish\u00ader that it was remov\u00ading my book. And Amazon\u2019s rep\u00adre\u00adsen\u00adta\u00adtives haven\u2019t respond\u00aded to our inquiries about it. Per\u00adhaps they\u2019re cit\u00ading a reli\u00adgious objec\u00adtion to sell\u00ading my book? Or maybe they only sell books with which they agree? (If so, they have a lot of explain\u00ading to do about why they car\u00adry Adolf Hitler\u2019s Mein Kampf<\/em>.) If there\u2019s a reli\u00adgious or speech objec\u00adtion, let\u2019s hear it.\u201d His book is quite good and is still avail\u00adable at Barnes & Noble<\/a>. Ama\u00adzon, how\u00adev\u00ader, sells 5\/6 of the books in Amer\u00adi\u00adca. Being delist\u00aded by them seri\u00adous\u00adly affects the mar\u00adket\u00adplace of ideas.
