If you had to recommend 1 book on hermeneutics, what would it be?

In the past year, many Christians have realized that the Western church is not immune from persecution. But this is something our Chinese brothers already knew. We would do well to learn from them. https://protestantpost.substack.com/p/the-state-of-the-church-in-china

If Christians want to stop the leftward drift of their churches, they need to make a very simple decision: Do they believe God's law is sufficient to deal with social ills, or will we keep importing secular ideologies to handle it? https://protestantpost.substack.com/p/theonomy

Hail Governor DeSantis. Too bad he's a papist.

Florida BANS CRT in schools!

The Florida State Board of Education has officially made it ILLEGAL to teach Critical Race Theory (CRT) in public school classrooms.

CTR is an academic concept which teaches that White people, institutions, and legal systems are inherently racist and view racism as a social construct. Thus, all people of color are perpetually repressed.

Florida education chiefs believe teaching CRT could possibly "distort historical events," with Florida governor Ron DeSantis calling CRT 'toxic" and an attempt to "indoctrinate children with ideology."

The Church in the present dispensation is a militant Church, that is, she is called unto, and is actually engaged in, a holy warfare. This, of course, does not mean that she must spend her strength in self-destroying internecine struggles, but that she is duty bound to carry on an incessant warfare against the hostile world in every form in which it reveals itself, whether in the Church or outside of it, and against all the spiritual forces of darkness. The Church may not spend all her time in prayer and meditation, however necessary and important these may be, nor may she rest on her oars in the peaceful enjoyment of her spiritual heritage. She must be engaged with all her might in the battles of her Lord, fighting in a war that is both offensive and defensive. - Louis Berkhof

🇨🇳 Public humiliation of a man whose views did not align with those of the Chinese Communist Party during the cultural revolution of the 1960s. The cultural revolution sought to purge all capitalist and traditionalist elements from Chinese society and resulted in the persecution and deaths of millions.

This week I'm looking at the evidence for the idea of the Protestant work ethic. I found a very robust correlation between the percentage of a nation that was Protestant and their GDP/capita (as the graph depicts). However, I think the sociologists' explanation falls short and instead supply my own. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on the theory and the empirical evidence. https://protestantpost.substack.com/p/the-economics-of-protestantism

Imagine believing this. lol Next week's blog post will be addressing CRT as inspired by the unfortunate events of last week in regards to the Southern Baptist Convention.

Liberals within many Christian denominations (the SBC in particular) have attempted to bring CRT into the church while stipulating that, because they're only using it as an "analytical tool," it's completely harmless. This is deceit pure and simple, and we need to be on guard against it. https://protestantpost.substack.com/p/critical-race-theory

Hopefully Hungary leaves the EU as well. I figured other nations would start leaving after the UK did.

Calvinism has been one of the most potent social and political forces in Western history. In this article, I explore why, by look at Calvinism's relationship to nationalities, constitutions, and sphere sovereignty through the lens provided by Abraham Kuyper's classic Lectures on Calvinism. https://protestantpost.substack.com/p/calvinism-and-politics

How best to describe Calvinism's relationship to art? Perhaps, "It's complicated!" In all seriousness, I would argue the relationship between the two is generally misunderstood and too often underappreciated. https://protestantpost.substack.com/p/calvinism-and-art
