Monotheism
Monotheism, someone has said, offers two simple axioms: 1) There is a God. 2) It’s not you.
The Radicalism of Caritas in Veritate?
Sightings 7/16/09 — Rick Elgendy The Vatican recently released the long-awaited papal encyclical Caritas in Veritate, which ranges from theological to political and economic themes. Now that the dust has settled, the encyclical and reactions to it can be seen to be rather remarkable. Papal comment on social ethics is not itself unusual; Caritas in […]
Homosexuality and Slavery in the Bible
Sightings 7/13/09 — Martin E. Marty Annually I write the report on “Protestantism” for World Book and other yearbooks. For a dozen or score of years now, the lead story always has to be about churches tearing themselves apart in lose-lose battles over the blessing of gay marriages and ordination of homosexuals, et cetera.
