<\/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 439, which is not only a prime num\u00adber and the sum of three con\u00adsec\u00adu\u00adtive primes (139 + 149 + 151), but also the sum of nine con\u00adsec\u00adu\u00adtive primes (31 + 37 + 41 + 43 + 47 + 53 + 59 + 61 + 67). Which is, you know, a lot\u00adta primes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. How Dig\u00adi\u00adtal Apps Are Chang\u00ading How We Read the Bible<\/a> (John Dyer, Text & Canon): \u201cI asked both groups to read the book of Jude and then tell me (1) what the point of the book was, and (2) how it made them feel. Inter\u00adest\u00ading\u00adly, two oppo\u00adsite trends emerged. The print read\u00aders said they felt Jude was about God\u2019s judg\u00adment while the phone read\u00aders tend\u00aded to empha\u00adsize God\u2019s faith\u00adful\u00adness. But then, on the sec\u00adond ques\u00adtion, their answers seemed to split. The print read\u00aders, who felt the book was about God\u2019s judg\u00adment, said they were encour\u00adaged by the read\u00ading. The phone read\u00aders on the oth\u00ader hand who said Jude was about God\u2019s faith\u00adful\u00adness, said after read\u00ading it that they felt dis\u00adcour\u00adaged and con\u00adfused. So what can account for that dif\u00adfer\u00adence? Why is a judg\u00admen\u00adtal God encour\u00adag\u00ading and a faith\u00adful God dis\u00adcour\u00adag\u00ading?\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The Grand Canyon-Sized Chasm Between Elites and Ordi\u00adnary Amer\u00adi\u00adcans<\/a> (Rob K. Hen\u00adder\u00adson, Sub\u00adstack): \u201cPer\u00adhaps the most strik\u00ading diver\u00adgence between elite and non-elite opin\u00adion: Although the major\u00adi\u00adty of ordi\u00adnary vot\u00aders oppose the strict rationing of meat, elec\u00adtric\u00adi\u00adty, and gas to fight cli\u00admate change, 89% of Ivy grad\u00adu\u00adates and 77% of elites over\u00adall are in favor of it.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. What Hap\u00adpened When My Church Encoun\u00adtered Neg\u00ada\u00adtive World<\/a> (Patrick Miller, Mere Ortho\u00addoxy): \u201cYou can tell our church\u2019s sto\u00adry in a way that makes us the vic\u00adtims of the pro\u00adgres\u00adsives, but that\u2019s not our full sto\u00adry. Nor is it the sto\u00adry of most non-coastal church\u00ades that refused to go pro-Trump or pro-Biden in 2020. Pas\u00adtors at such church\u00ades will tell you the same sto\u00adry: The neg\u00ada\u00adtive world bows before gold\u00aden don\u00adkeys and ele\u00adphants.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Sarah Isgur\u2019s Major\u00adi\u00adty Report<\/a> (Kele\u00adfah San\u00adneh, The New York\u00ader): \u201cThrough the eyes of Isgur and French, the Amer\u00adi\u00adcan legal sys\u00adtem gen\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly appears to be a place where smart peo\u00adple assess good-faith argu\u00adments and com\u00adpose thought\u00adful essays explain\u00ading their deci\u00adsions. Their under\u00adly\u00ading con\u00adtention is that the Supreme Court is good, even, or per\u00adhaps espe\u00adcial\u00adly, in its cur\u00adrent incar\u00adna\u00adtion.\u2026 In an era of aggriev\u00aded polit\u00adi\u00adcal dis\u00adcourse, Isgur is some\u00adthing unusu\u00adal: a com\u00admen\u00adta\u00adtor who tru\u00adly seems to love the gov\u00adern\u00adment insti\u00adtu\u00adtion she cov\u00aders.\u201d\n
