My question is this: “Is there New Testament evidence we should we be speaking more about truth, and less about “believing” or “beliefs”, when we speak to non-believers?” I found all these citations where the apostles said they spoke truth, or implied they spoke it, and then they remarked about creating or not creating belief.  […]

Much of my recent career has been spent analyzing and resisting right-wing politics, often mixed with religion. But today I say that there is plenty to worry about on the left, too.

There is no place on the political spectrum, and no manner of evil, that lacks ready […]

Albert Einstein once said, “I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones”…and how right he is but not for the reason you might think. Both modern Jewish and Christian beliefs still hold to traditions from the Old Testament in […]

(RNS) As I write, the identity of the Manchester terrorist has not been revealed by British authorities. But we do know this: Whoever he was, he decided that the culminating act of his life should be the murder of children at a rock concert. He succeeded in killing over 20 and injuring 60.
