Is Elizabeth Bruenig even a socialist?
Elizabeth Bruenig, columnist for the Washington Post, yesterday published an opinion piece entitled, ‘Let’s have a good-faith argument about socialism’ responding to some critics of her earlier piece, ‘It’s time to give socialism a try’. She accuses a number of them of responding in bad faith, In the case of my column, this meant many interlocutors taking socialism to mean something along the lines of munism or the Venezuelan system, genocides, calamities, disasters and all. I don’t think anybody actually...
The challenges of Islam and pluralism
Last week I had an essay exploring Abraham Kuyper’s interactions with Islam, focused particularly on his tour around the Mediterranean Sea in the early years of the twentieth century. As I argue, Throughout his travels, Kuyper was confronted by the diversity, vitality, prehensiveness of the Islamic faith. In Islam, Kuyper sees a world-shaping civilization force, one with the cogency and dynamism to rival Christianity. Kuyper’s reflections remain salient today, as his engagement of and appreciation for the motivating power of...
Samuel Gregg: How Europe’s way of denial became a way of death
Modern Europe faces a future of economic stagnation and demographic decline brought on by the hollowing out of its self-confidence. These impending calamities reached the crisis point at precisely the moment the continent faces an unprecedented influx of migrants who share none of its leaders’ epistemological angst. Furthermore, some of the newest citizens are mitted to co-existence nor averse to advancing their religion through taqiyya or, increasingly, jihad. Samuel Gregg, Acton’s research director, recounts Douglas Murray’s argument in his review...

Vocation vs. occupation: Embracing the breadth of ‘full-time ministry’
Christians have routinely embraced a range of false dichotomies when es to so-called “full-time ministry,” confining such work to the life and vocation of the pastor, evangelist, or missionary. The implications are clear: Those who enter or leave such vocations are thought to be “entering the work world” or “leaving the ministry,” whether for business, education, government, or otherwise. Yet even when we reject such divides, recognizing the depth and breadth of Christian vocation, we still tend to parse which...

Those are legitimate concerns, to be sure. But in addition to any threats to material wellbeing or national security, such protectionism also inhibits...
