To a Thousand Generations: The Triumph of the Covenant
I was born and raised a Catholic which was my religious life until I went away to college at 18 and was born-again into an Evangelical and Protestant faith bearing little resemblance to Catholicism. The primary reason I embraced this new version of Christianity was...
Evil and the Death of Secularism
In a comment on Facebook recently I said, “Secularism is dead,” and I got this not unreasonable response: Not sure why secularism is dead, but post-modern thinking and critical theory are alive and well. Looked at as a snapshot of the current historical moment, of...
The Rise and Fall of Dispensational Premillennialism in American Christianity
When I embraced postmillennialism in August 2022, I knew next to nothing about where the most popular Evangelical eschatology, dispensational premillennialism, came from or how it developed. The reason this is important is because eschatology matters. What we think...

And ah for a man to rise in me, That the man I am may cease to be!
I recently came upon this quote from 19th century British poet Alfred Lord Tennyson (from his poem Maud). I wonder how many people feel Tennyson's lament. I also wonder how many people understand that to be a follower of Jesus you must feel this way. What? You mean I...

“We Must Be True to Ourselves”
The title of this post is almost an axiom among modern Americans. We may hear it put in other ways as well, like "as long it makes you happy," or "you must do what's in your heart." I've heard it said that we live in the age of "the sovereign self." In our age, the...
Bob Dylan And His Classical Education
Although I've never been a big fan of Bob Dylan, I've always appreciated his genius, and especially his ability to capture the cultural Zeitgeist. A piece by Rod Dreher titled "Bob Dylan On The Road To Damascus" explains why he was so good at this. We learn from...
