Acton Commentary

The Legalism of Political Christianity by Jordan Ballor

Too many Christian political activists, on the left and the right, fail to understand the difference between clear moral imperatives and prudential judgments on particular policy questions. They turn the Church into a lobbying organization. “In this brand of legalism, fidelity to the Christian faith is defined in political terms,” Jordan Ballor writes. Read more »

Neal Johnson: When Charity Shames

There's a story that I heard, of a miner, a family down in- it was in the Appalachia area and the church there really thought that they were doing a great deal because they would go in, they said they would pick the poorest families and they would take them Christmas gifts and turkeys and that sort of thing. So they did. 

Republocrat Review: A Sneak Peek

I just sent off a draft of a brief review of Carl Trueman‘s new book Republocrat: Confessions of a Liberal Conservative to appear in the next issue of Religion & Liberty. (You can get a complimentary subscription here).

Wealth and Poverty in Portugal - Part II

I've just returned to Rome following our Lisbon conference on Catholic Social Teaching, Free Enterprise and Poverty. Judging from the crowded auditorium and the lively comments from the audience, it was a very successful event.

Veterans Day: E.B. Sledge and The Old Breed

He was among a company of men who didn’t talk about their feelings. The experience, he said, “made savages of us all.” Many years later, from notes taken of the battles in his field Bible, Sledge published With The Old Breed, one of the most stirring personal accounts of war I’ve ever read.
