A Lenten Reflection
We are coming into Holy Week, the climax of Lent in the Western churches. In the Orthodox world, Great Lent ended on Friday; today is Lazarus Saturday, the commemoration of the raising of Lazarus and another fast day; then comes Palm Sunday and Holy Week, which are...
C.S. Lewis’s Spiritual Formation
One of the things I have been looking into lately has been C.S. Lewis’s spiritual formation. While those familiar with his biography will know about his conversion, his growth as a Christian is largely ignored. Part of the reason for this is that Lewis himself doesn’t...
How C.S. Lewis Became C.S. Lewis (After His Conversion)
The little-known mentor who helped Lewis become one of the greatest Christian thinkers of our time. On this day (April 4) in 1945, the last in a famous series of talks by C.S. Lewis was broadcast across the BBC. These talks would become the substance of Mere...
A Divine Vision?
In the previous post, I looked at a Substack by Eugene Terekhin that argued that nations are based on a founding vision, and that when that vision is lost, the nation crumbles. His argument is correct, and I fear we are seeing it played out right now in Europe. But...
The Collapse of Nations
If you are not familiar with Eugene Terekhin’s substack, you should be. He publishes invariably interesting short articles daily. Last week, one in particular caught my eye. It posed the question, “why do nations rise and fall?” and used the archaeological site of...
Some Good News from College Campuses
Tens of thousands are responding to the Gospel message of salvation at campuses nationwide. Something remarkable is happening on college campuses around the country. This fall, reports emerged of players taking a strong stand for Christ on the Ohio State and...
The Image of God: Chapter 2
Since in Genesis 1, the description of humanity focuses entirely on the image of God, it follows that this is the most essential element of what it means to be human. But this in turn has implications well beyond dominion and stewardship. In particular, it provides the only real foundation for human dignity and human rights.
St. Patrick’s Day
It is St. Patrick’s Day. I have been away for the last two weeks helping take care of a new grandchild and her sister, so I haven’t had much time to write. Instead, I’ll offer some links and a prayer associated with Patrick. A Few Links The first is a video I did a...
The Long, Faithful Obedience of William Wilberforce
In 1787, British abolitionist Thomas Clarkson enlisted a young parliamentarian named William Wilberforce into the cause. After his conversion to Christ three years earlier, Wilberforce had become friends with John Newton, a former slave trader turned pastor and...
The Seven Penitential Psalms
In my previous post on Lent and the accompanying video, I focused on fasting and abstinence (“giving something up for Lent”) as central elements of the historical practices of the season. Another traditional practice is the use of the Seven Penitential Psalms in...
The Rise of Technopaganism
Last month, in an interview with Bari Weiss, venture capitalist and longevity researcher Bryan Johnson discussed “how not to die.” While Johnson’s theories on indefinite life extension are interesting, it was his comments about Artificial Intelligence that were more striking,
Preparing for Lent
Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent, is in two days. Lent is the period of preparation for Holy Week and especially the celebration of Easter, but traditionally, there was also a time of preparation for Lent. This preparation time in the western church actually goes back...
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.
