The New and Improved AU Online
The New and Improved AU Online
Oct 19, 2024 9:19 AM

In case you haven’t already heard the rumor, allow me to fill you in: AU Online has an awesome, newly revamped website and digital learning platform. AU Online is designed to make the resources and tools of a typical Acton conference available through a university-level, online environment. The AU Online team hopes the new features and functions will make this program your go-to destination for the integration of faithful intentions and sound economic reason.

To kick off the 2012-2013 schedule of online courses, Acton’s director of research, Dr. Samuel Gregg, will present a four-part lecture series, Freedom and Virtue in the Developed World. The first live, online session is scheduled for 6:30pm EDT on October 23.

If you haven’t done so, we encourage you to visit the AU Online website to see for yourself what all of the hype is about! If you have any questions, please contact the AU Online team by email at [email protected].

On an unrelated note, registration for the 2013 Acton University conference opens November 15! Be sure not to miss out on your chance to apply.

How free markets help Christians live their values in the workplace
People of faith in Europe increasingly face exclusion from whole professions because of their moral beliefs. I write about the latest chapter in this tale – how disregarding the free market helped cause it, and how free market economic principles can help alleviate it – in a mentary for The Steam. Ellinor Grimmark, the midwife at the heart of the Swedish court case. Last week, the Swedish Labour Court ruled against Ellinor Grimmark, a pro-life midwife who has been denied...

What Christians can learn from Utah’s economic success
How do we move closer to ending poverty and expanding opportunity in America? Does a single solution or road map even exist? In a widely cited study, the Brookings Institute’s Isabel Sawhill and Ron Haskins famously argued that at least one predictable path is evident. “The poverty rate among families with children could be lowered by 71 percent if the pleted high school, worked full-time, married, and had no more than two children,” they argue. Skeptics and critics abound, but...
What may save Cuba from hunger? GMOs
Cuban officials have announced the island is turning to genetically modified organisms (GMO) to help feed its increasingly hungry population. Hunger is spreading in Cuba, something officials ascribe to higher levels of tourism. Tourists can afford to pay more for food, so they outbid the native population. The New York Times wrote that food insecurity is “upsetting the very promise of Fidel Castro’s Cuba” (though, in their defense, his reign owed much to their coverage). But Cuba’s use of GMOs,...
John Locke on Scripture and Public Morality
Public Domain Last week Dr. Jonathan S. Marko, Assistant Professor of Philosophical & Systematic Theology at Cornerstone University, spoke before some Acton Staff and local scholars on John Locke and the role of Scripture in public morality. The talk, “‘Ready Dug and fashioned’: John Locke on Scripture’s Primacy for Public Morality,” was followed by a lively question and answer session in which Dr. Marko graciously took on ers helping us better understand Locke’s moral philosophy and personal religious convictions. Dr....
How to stand with Coptic Christians this Holy Week
As two bombs exploded inside Coptic churches on Palm Sunday, the shock reverberated around the world. “In just seconds, the entire church was filled with smoke, fire, blood, and screams,” Fr. Daniel Maher, who was serving in St. George Coptic Church on Palm Sunday when the first bombing attack took place, told the Associated Press. Fr. Daniel survived, but his son, Beshoy, was among the 44 deaths recorded so far. But the world, and especially the Church, neither suffers nor...
When was the original Good Friday?
Today is Good Friday*, the religious holiday memorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary. Christians have celebrated the event for over two millennia. But what was the date of the original Good Friday? Almost all scholars agree that Jesus was crucified in the spring of either A.D. 30 or A.D. 33. In their book,The Final Days of Jesus: The Most Important Week of the Most Important Person Who Ever Lived, Andreas Köstenberger and Justin Taylor contend...
Commentary: The joy of spring
This week’s Acton Commentary is a meditation by the Dutch theologian Abraham Kuyper (1837-1920), reflecting on the significance of spring for our natural and spiritual lives. “So that bread e forth from the earth” takes its point of departure from the lines of Psalm 104: “He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herbs for the service of man: that he may bring forth bread out of the earth.” Pieces like this show another side of Kuyper than...
Is Chile headed in the direction of socialist Europe?
Balneario de Antofagasta – By Victorddt – Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0 If you want to examine a flourishing Latin American economy, look no further than Chile. In a new article, Samuel Gregg capitulates an economic success story in Chile. The country has thrived by embracing liberal principles and respecting property rights and open markets. However, Gregg is wary of Chile’s future; he suspects it may be headed in the direction of European socialism. Gregg begins by recognizing the unique...
Explainer: What exactly is a ‘currency manipulator’?
Now that we’re within a few days of the 100-day deadline, though, President Trump has changed his mind. Yesterday, he said he will not be labeling China a currency manipulator. Whatever you feel about the flip-flop, Trump’s rhetoric had caught up with reality: China hasn’t devalued its currency since 2014. In fact, for the past few years China has tried to prop up the renminbi (their currency, which we know as the ‘yuan’) for to keep it from falling. But...
