Christian Reconstructionism Series, Part 2: Francis Schaeffer
In the first installment we briefly went over the life of Cornelius Van Til. Though not a Reconstructionist himself, his presuppositionalism and his part in the founding of Westminster Theological Seminary and the Orthodox Presbyterian Church are necessary to understanding the movement. (I could similarly have justified doing a bit on the life of J. [...]

Thoughts on O’Donovan’s “The Desire of the Nations”
Around 2 a.m. a month ago, in a smoke-filled hookah bar in Orlando, Florida, I found myself engaged in a conversation about religion and politics with a man who spent his career at the intersection between the two (I count his brief stint as a bar-tender as religious/political work in addition to his more overtly [...]
