Blog & Mablog: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Canon Press
The point of this podcast is pretty broad — “All of Christ for all of life.” In order to make that happen, we need “theology that bites back.” I want to advance what you might call a Chestertonian Calvinism, and to bring that attitude to bear on education, sex and culture, theology, politics, book reviews, postmodernism, expository studies, along with other random tidbits that come into my head. My perspective is usually not hard to discern. In theology I am an evangelical, postmill, Calvinist, Reformed, and Presbyterian, pretty much in that order. In politics, I am slightly to the right of Jeb Stuart. In my cultural sympathies, if we were comparing the blight of postmodernism to a vast but shallow goo pond, I would observe that I have spent many years on these stilts and have barely gotten any of it on me.

The Wiki-Me. And the Weal Me.
Last week we taped an episode of Man Rampant for our upcoming season, and the interview was with Larry Sanger, the man who initially built out Wikipedia. He has done quite a number of other things since those early years, some of which activities have recently gotten him banned as an editor at Wikipedia. One of his recent projects is called WikiCritic, and by the time our Man Rampant episode airs, his site should be up and running. I will let you know.For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/ IT'S HERE! Pre-Order the 4th installment of the Ashtown Burial Series at ashtownburials.com.

Big Fat Sinners, All of Them
In Doug's continued dialogue with Ehud, Wilson talks about 'Big Fat Sinners, All of Them'... In my last letter, I addressed (and answered) the belief that some Christians have had that consigns Jews to the status of “Christ-killers.” That is a very specific issue, and one relatively easy to address from Scripture with texts that are very much on the nose. What I want to address now is downstream from that. What is the biblical response to those Jews who have hardened in their unbelief because of the treatment they have received from professing Christians? And more to the point, why should you refuse to participate in that hardening?For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/ IT'S HERE!

The American Creedle
I have to begin by saying that I like Neil Gorsuch. I like the fact that he is on the Court. Despite a few unfortunate votes, his presence there is pretty reliable and steady. He voted to strike down Roe, and so he has won my friendship forever.That said—and let us frank and honest here—that statement above is about as defensible as the infamous response of Ketanji Brown Jackson, which she made that time when the good senators decided for some reason to test her biology chops.For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/ IT'S HERE!

Psychotic Empathy
As I write these words, the trial of Lindsay Clancy in Massachusetts is wrapping up. She killed her three kids a few years ago, and the trial is over whether she did so in the grip of postpartum psychosis, and so not guilty by reason of insanity, or whether she was responsible for three counts of criminal murder. If the former, she will go into a mental institution, and if the latter, she will go to prison.For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/ IT'S HERE!

Both Brilliant and Blind

I had also read Orwell’s 1984 in that same year because I thought it was an appropriate time to get around to it, and you could kind of see where things were going by that point.For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/

Reflections on the Tattooed Lady
IT'S HERE! Pre-Order the 4th installment of the Ashtown Burial Series at ashtownburials.com.Nancy Mace has had an interesting and somewhat conflicted career. For just one example, she was the first woman to graduate from the Citadel, and during her congressional stint she was an active voice in opposing the use of women’s bathrooms there by trans men. In other words, she successfully invaded a male-only space, and then fought hard to preserve a female-only space.For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/

When you showed no signs of changing your mind for week two, the tone changed completely. After a few badgering sessions, she seduced you. A couple days later, there was some mild badgering, and then she seduced you again. And she asked you to come back to your regular church, but you went off to a different church again. Do I have it basically right?For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/

Opportunity and Envy
IT'S HERE! Pre-Order the 4th installment of the Ashtown Burial Series at ashtownburials.com.One of the recent discussion points on the right is related to a comment made by our vice-president about the appeal of socialism. He said, and I quote: “My warning to my fellow Republicans . . . You don’t stop socialism by throwing slogans at people about the free market. You stop socialism by making people’s lives better.” Now the VP is exactly right in what he says here, but some are worried about what he is not yet saying, and what that might mean. If this statement ends with a period, stop, then sign me up. But if there is an ellipsis after better, then I want to see where that might be going. My observations of the political world over the course of my lifetime has made me nervous about all ellipses.For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/
