How Do Christians Respond to the Tendency of Governments to Turn Tyrannical? Glenn Sunshine’s New Book: Slaying Leviathan
Christians first expressed these political truths under Caesars, kings, popes, and emperors. We need them in the age of presidents. Leviathan is rising again, and the first weapon we must recover is the longstanding Christian tradition of resisting governmental...
On this special Thanksgiving episode, we are joined by historian Glenn Sunshine, who takes us back to Plymouth where 4 of the original 18 women on the Mayflower settled with their husbands and children. Women were essential to this original European colony. They...
Muiredach’s Cross
In the ruins of the Abbey of Monasterboice, County Louth, Ireland, are three Celtic High Crosses. On the southernmost of these crosses is an inscription that reads, “ÓR DO MUIREDACH LAS NDERNAD IN CHROS,” or in English, “A prayer for Muiredach who had this cross...
A Prayer for America
Lord, this is a dark and dangerous time for our country. Our politics is full of hate, and it is spilling over in how we think of and treat each other. And like any nation, we have guilt for the evil that we have done and permitted. We have the blood of tens of...
Webinar: What Happened to Evangelicalism?
Evangelicalism began nearly 300 years ago and had roots reaching back even earlier. Today, we are living through its collapse. Class divisions among evangelicals and social conflict in America have revealed fractures in the movement that seem incurable. How did...
Webinar: Critical Theory and Racism in America
The protests and the rioting and looting that have broken out in the wake of George Floyd’s death at the hands of a group of police officers have once again brought the issue of racism to the fore in American society. It is clear that racism is a sin; in fact, I would...
Blessed are the Peacemakers
Jesus tells us that peacemakers are blessed. Peace in the Bible is not a negative, the absence of hostilities, but rather a positive that includes everything necessary for human flourishing. It is a holistic word. Peace comes when our physical, emotional, relational,...
Racism and the Christian
Like people across the country and around the world, I have been disturbed by the killing of George Floyd and by the violence that has erupted in its wake. This is my attempt at a macro level biblical response to the injustices that our Black neighbors all too often...
Discipling Online Worshippers
Two weeks ago, I posted the question, how are we going to disciple all the people who are coming to our online church services. How are we going to get them to engage with the Gospel when many of them have shown no interest in attending our churches live? As...
The State of Global Christianity
Gordon-Conwell’s Center for Global Christianity issued a report on the Status of Global Christianity. It highlights several surprising facts about Christianity in the world today. One of the most important is that Christianity as a percentage of the global population...
Following Up With Online Worshippers
In the last blog post, I pointed out that attendance at online services during the current shutdown is many times higher than what we were getting live, and I asked what we are going to do to disciple the new people we are reaching. As a start, here are a few ideas:...
COVID-19, Shutdowns, and the Church
I'm not happy about not being able to meet live for church, but consider: in England, ten times the number of people that were attending churches on Sunday are joining online services. A church in my town that has under 200 people attending on a typical Sunday is...
Around the Web
As a Senior Fellow and Columnist, Dr. Sunshine publishes regularly articles on various topics on the Breakpoint website.
The Pugcast is produced by The Logos Center and features C. R. Wiley, Dr. Glenn Sunshine, and Dr. Thomas Price. The Pugcast is recorded at The Corner Pug–a well-known watering hole in tony West Hartford, Connecticut. (Hence the name, “pugcast”–also the reason there is so much background noise.) The show could be described as “3 over-educated Reformed guys riff on philosophy, theology, and stuff that bugs them.” Each episode we invite you to take a seat in our booth and listen in on our conversation.
Aside from the earliest episodes, we are also available on the FLF (Fight, Laugh, Feast) Network at crosspolitic.com.
