Congrats to Scott Lamb and Tim Ellsworth on Their Book on Pujols
Congratulations Scott Lamb and Tim Ellsworth on their new book on Albert Pujols, Pujols: More Than the Game.

Gay Rights Prevent Christians from Being Foster Parents in the UK
Faithful Christian grandparents who have fostered 15 children already have “were told by a court yesterday that gay rights ‘should take precedence’ over their religious beliefs.” And the video below shows an interesting discussion on the issue.

The Fearless Student Whose Aim Is Truth
From Henry Hazlitt’s Economics in One Lesson (10): “The present essay itself is, I suppose, unblushingly ‘classical,’ ‘traditional’ and ‘orthodox’; at least these are the epithets with which those whose sophisms are here subjected to analysis will no doubt attempt to dismiss it. But the student whose aim is to attain as much truth as …
Pray for Said Musa
Patrick Schreiner recently posted this: Here is the beginning of Clifford May’s article on the persecution of Christians in National Review. The subtitle says it all: “the most important story not being told.” Imagine if Muslims in Europe were being arrested for nothing more than peacefully practicing their religion. Imagine if Muslims in South America …

Troglodytes Can’t Produce Stunning Artistry
Why I’m confident in the Bible (from the interview on the CBD Academic Blog): I think that the Bible itself claims to be totally true and trustworthy, and that we would need far more information than we will ever have to overturn its claims or show its falsehood. Therefore, I want to approach the Bible …

Robert P. George, Sherif Girgis, and Ryan T. Anderson expose sloppy thinking in their article, “The Argument Against Gay Marriage: And Why It Doesn’t Fail.” Some highlights: “Professor Yoshino’s response is long on rhetoric designed to stigmatize a position he opposes, and short on arguments that might actually cast doubt on its soundness.” . . …
