Islamic Reformation and Playing Cards
Thursday May 13, 2010 Mark Durie I have been thinking a lot about women in Islam recently, challenged by the message of Wafa Sultan’s book “The God who hates”, which I recently reviewed. Will the lot of Muslim women improve through a ‘reformation’ of Islam? Trying to reform Islam from Islam’s own sources is like […]
At What Age Should Baptists Baptize Children?
From one pastor to others: what is your experience of advising and exploring baptism with younger than ¢â‚¬Ëœnormal-age for baptism ¢â‚¬â„¢ (whatever that is) children? “”””” One response: I recently baptized an 11 year old girl. I asked her about her interests and whether or not there was a way that she could express her confession […]
Evangelical scholar forced out after endorsing evolution
Posted 4/9/2010 By Scott Jaschik When it comes to incriminating videos these days, the one of Bruce K. Waltke might seem pretty tame. It shows the noted evangelical scholar of the Old Testament talking about scholarship, faith and evolution. What was incriminating? He not only endorsed evolution, but said that evangelical Christianity could face a […]

Here is the full text of Tony Blair’s speech to the “Islam and Muslims in the world today” conference in London on 4 June 2007: I would like to thank Cambridge University and their partners, the Coexist Foundation and the Weidenfeld Institute for Strategic Dialogue for hosting this important conference.

Leaving Professional Ministry
I ¢â‚¬â„¢ve left the professional ministry. I was ordained 25 years ago. I was a student minister before that. It has been a long hard haul. But I ¢â‚¬â„¢ve gradually come to the realization that I can no longer work inside of the system. I no longer seem to fit within the institution. This is not to […]

The Name of Israel Will Be Remembered No More!?
12 May 2010 by Daniel Shayesteh, former Iranian Revolutionary Guard and co-founder of Hezbollah. I never cease to be amazed at how the enemies of Israel have been trying to destroy her for thousands of years, aiming to annihilate her, so that no record of her name, Biblical values and God would remain in history. […]

Review: Quarterly Essay
Quarterly Essay is (in my view) a ‘must-read’ Australian publication, with a 25,000-word essay in each issue by a prominent academic or political commentator. The last-but-one had a brilliant offering by Mungo MacCallum titled ‘Australian Story’: his attempt to fit Prime Minister Kevin Rudd into our generalized perceptions of our Australian history and ethos.
