Casey BedellG. K. Chesterton claimed he never discussed anything except politics and religion stating there was nothing else to discuss. By this, he meant these two topics compass the whole of human activity and thought. I believed that valuing religion and...
Steven WedgeworthThe Protestant Reformation marked an explosive turning point in church history, as it recovered and proclaimed the gospel of saving grace. Its message was that God justifies men in his sight by faith alone. To be saved, a person must place their...
Jennifer Powell McNuttFrom the window of graduate student housing at Emory University, my mother recalls watching an older man carrying a heavy sack and placing a book at the doorstep of each of the apartments, one after the other. And then this St. Nicholas-like man...

Eugene ChoEditor’s note: The articles in our political theology series are the opinions of the authors, not those of Logos. We are publishing a breadth of voices to reflect varying perspectives within the church. With the upcoming presidential election...
Malcolm FoleyTo profess the Christian faith is to make a profound theological and political claim. If God raised Jesus from the dead, that necessitates we confess him as Lord. But to declare Jesus is Lord in a world of many lords is a dangerous thing to do. Over...

Brad LittlejohnIn one of the most memorable conversations in all of Scripture, Jesus addressed to the Roman Empire that his kingdom was not of this world. Clearly, although Christ’s kingdom may not be this-worldly, neither is it strictly otherworldly: it takes...
Eli EvansSo much of our daily life is mediated by technology, it can become almost invisible. Technology is the water, and we are all fish. Because tech is so commonplace, it’s easy to take it for granted, to become blind to its consequences. Yet as a tech...
JoAnna HoytAs a child, I loved the Choose Your Own Adventure book series. These books allowed me to shape the story to my desires. No other book allowed that. If I did not like an outcome, I simply “rewound” my decision and chose another. The book provided the...
Michael F. BirdOne of the distinguishing features of Jesus’s teaching was the role he assigned to love. For Jesus, love was the summation of all that the Torah taught, as well as that which marked out his disciples as belonging to the kingdom of God. One...
Timothy MuehlhoffIn our culture, marriage is often seen as a type of contract. Couples agree that each will do her or his part to make the marriage work. However, what happens when the agreement is broken and one spouse doesn’t keep up their end of the bargain...

Joel ArnoldWhen I first became a father, I desperately wanted to succeed at family devotions. I gave it all of the creative energy I could muster. The battle of Jericho became a rambunctious march around a toy city. For the story of Samson, I tested my skills...
No marriage exists in isolation. Our social context strongly influences how couples approach communication in general, and conflict in particular. If the social surroundings in which a couple find themselves promote virtues like compassion...
