    Defending America's priceless heritage by defending the Jews

    As Dr. Husain observed, “no Muslim before the 20th century would have belittled his faith’s sacred text by regarding it as a political manifesto.”

  • Jewish students harassed on campus is unacceptable

    Jewish students harassed on campus is unacceptable

    I want to challenge Christian groups on college campuses and campus ministers to organize a concerted effort to accompany their fellow Jewish students to class and by their presence help protect Jewish students from harassment and abuse. Multitudes of Christians across America should make it clear that to get to our Jewish citizens you will have to come through us first.

  • Ghosts of the past: Hamas, Israel and justice

    Ghosts of the past: Hamas, Israel and justice

    The hideous Hamas terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians (including women, children, and infants) remind us that nothing in the Middle East happens in a vacuum and the ghosts of the past are always in the room with us.

  • The ‘Gordean Knot’ of moral proportionality in the Middle East (part 2)

    The ‘Gordean Knot’ of moral proportionality in the Middle East (part 2)

    Remember, Just War Theory was never intended to “justify” war. Instead, it tries to bring war under the sway of justice as understood by Christians and to ensure that war, when it does occur, is hedged about by limits that mitigate its barbarity. 

  • The ‘Gordean Knot’ of moral proportionality in the Middle East (part I)

    The ‘Gordean Knot’ of moral proportionality in the Middle East (part I)

    After Oct. 7, I wonder if that is still true, or whether we have crossed a threshold none of us should wish to be crossed.

  • The ethical bankruptcy of ‘moral equivalency’

    The ethical bankruptcy of ‘moral equivalency’

    Those who claim a “moral equivalency” between the Hamas terrorists and the Israeli government betray either a lack of integrity or a seriously demagnetized moral compass.

  • Reform movements and false comparisons: Southern Baptist case study

    Reform movements and false comparisons: Southern Baptist case study

    The bigger question I was asked (and I get some version of this question with some regularity) was: “There are still problems in the Convention, and many things are not the way I envisioned they would be when I was ‘fighting the good fight’ for the Bible’s inerrancy. Was it worth it? Did it do any good?”

  • Why the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a powerful tool (part 2)

    Why the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a powerful tool (part 2)

    Many Islamic countries have had difficulty with the principle of changing one’s religion, but almost every Islamic country has signed the Universal Declaration, thus pledging themselves to this principle of freedom of conscience and religious expression.

  • The Universal Declaration of Human Rights: 75th anniversary (part 1)

    The Universal Declaration of Human Rights: 75th anniversary (part 1)

    The UDHR articulates in its 30 articles every human being’s basic, fundamental rights and freedoms and affirms those rights as universal and unalienable. The UDHR directly led to the development of the concept of international human rights law.

  • Cult of individualism and the loneliness epidemic

    Cult of individualism and the loneliness epidemic

    None of this, sadly, should surprise American Christians as we have lived and experienced the cult of individualism and its deleterious impact on our culture. Ever-widening concentric circles of destruction have been wrought by the siren song of narcissistic self-worship and unwavering devotion to that cult’s unholy trinity of “I, Myself, and Me.”
