Inquirers about God eventually confront an issue about evidence for God: Is there any salient evidence available to them for God’s reality and goodness? If so, where is it to be found, and how is it to be found? Such questions deserve our careful attention, because their answers have significant consequences for human lives, individually […]
Read MoreThe book of Proverbs is not the most widely read of the biblical books, although individual proverbs are widely cited: eg “A wise child makes a glad father, but a foolish child is a mother’s grief” (10:1) or “A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich” (10:4) and known to […]
Read MoreWhen we think of a prophet, we might well imagine a bearded and eccentric biblical seer delivering God’s judgment on his people. But the prophetic office did not end with the sealing of the biblical canon. Thomas Aquinas said that God would always raise up new prophets for the reform of the Church. Inspired by […]
Read MoreIn today’s athletics, the message is clear: Win at all costs. In classical Greece, by contrast, competition was not just about winning.

This trend is only likely to intensify as we enter a Presidential election […]
Read MoreTowards A New Understanding Of Atheism No worldview has grown faster since the early 20th century than atheism. Exact numbers are hard to give, but probably some 5-10% of the world’s population is now convinced that there is no God. Of course, in the West these numbers are higher and in particular realms of life, […]
Read MoreWhen I say “interfaith,” what comes to mind? People generally think of dialogue projects, with people of diverse religions talking about their beliefs and practices. Or an interfaith service like you see in many communities for Thanksgiving. Or interfaith marriage, with partners of different religious backgrounds and commitments. But interreligious encounter is everywhere. We get […]
Read MoreScholars of the ancient world are, I think, often satisfied with their antique interests. They study texts and inscriptions, languages, peoples, and entire civilizations, many of which are otherwise extinct and all of which existed in ages past, and they do so with the feeling that such exploration is worthwhile. Who needs “application” when we […]
