This was sung on the program by Andrea Bocelli, with the original French strength it offers Christians words, which focus as much on Easter as on Christmas, as much on our redemption as on the incarnation. The final words in French are “Noël Noël, chantons le Rédempteur” meaning “Christmas, Christmas, we sing the Redeemer”.

    Law and Gospel Article

    RENDER UNTO RAWLS: LAW, GOSPEL, AND THE EVANGELICAL FALLACY Wayne R. Barnes∗ I. INTRODUCTION Many explicitly Christian voices inject themselves frequently and regularly into the current public policy and political discourse. Though not all, many of these Christian arguments proceed in something like the following manner. X is condemned (or required) by God, as revealed in the Bible. Therefore, the explicitly-required “Christian position” on X is for the law to prohibit or limit the activity (or require it), in accordance with the advocate’s interpretation of biblical ethical standards. To be clear, I mean to discuss only those scenarios where a Christian publicly identifies a position as being mandated by Christian morality or values --- i.e., where the public is given a message that some law or public policy is needed in order to comply with the Christian scriptures or God’s will. That is, in short, this article is about explicit political communications to the public in overt religious language of what Christianity supposedly requires for law and policy. As will be seen, these voices come quite famously from the Christian Religious Right, but they come from the Religious Left as well. Political philosophers (most famously John Rawls) have posited that pluralism and principles of liberal democracy strongly counsel against resort to such religious views in support of or against any law or public policy.1 That is, in opposition to this overt religious advocacy in the political realm (though, it should be noted, not necessarily taking a substantive position on the issues, per se) is the position of Rawlsian political liberalism, which states generally that, all things being equal, such inaccessible religious arguments should not be made, but rather arguments should only be made by resort to “public reason” which all find to be accessible.2 Christian political voices counter that this results in an intolerable stifling of their voice, of requiring that they “bracket” ∗ Professor, Texas Wesleyan University School of Law.

    Religion and Fake News: Faith-Based Alternative Information Ecosystems in the U.S. and Europe

    Religion and Fake News: Faith-based Alternative Information Ecosystems in the U.S. and Europe Christopher Douglas | 6 January 2018 Summary he intersection of fake news and religion is marked by three asymmetries. First, fake news circulates more among Americans than Europeans. Second, fake news circulates T among conservatives more than liberals. Third, fake news for conservatives often feature religious themes. The origin of the fake news information-entertainment ecosystem lies largely in Christian fundamentalism’s cultivation of counter-expertise. The intersection of fake news and religion today is being exploited by Russia to subvert Western democracies and deepen social divisions. Western countries need to strengthen mainstream evidence-based journalism, incorporate conservative religious leaders into mainstream discussions, and detach high religiosity from fake news information ecosystems. Page 1 About the Report This report was commissioned by the Cambridge Institute on Religion & International Studies (CIRIS) on behalf of the Transatlantic Policy Network on Religion and Diplomacy (TPNRD). About the TPNRD The TPNRD is a forum of diplomats from North America and Europe who collaborate on religion-related foreign policy issues. Launched in 2015, the network is co-chaired by officials from the European External Action Service and the U.S. Department of State. About CIRIS CIRIS is a multi-disciplinary research centre at Clare College, Cambridge. CIRIS’s role as the Secretariat of the TPNRD is generously supported by the Henry Luce Foundation’s initiative on religion in international affairs.

Bush in 2004, political pundits were quick to credit Christian evangelicals with providing the margin of victory over Democratic challenger John Kerry. An article in The New York Times touted presidential adviser Karl Rove as a genius for focusing the attention of his boss upon such “moral” issues as same-sex marriage and abortion, thereby attracting four million evangelicals to the polls who had sat out the 2000 election.1 The emphasis of the Democratic Party upon such matters as jobs in the economically-depressed state of 9a Ohio apparently was trumped by the emotionally-charged issues of gay marriage and abortion, which evangelicals perceived as more threatening to their way of life than an economy in decline. This reading of the election resulted in a series of jeremiads from the political left bemoaning the influence of Christians upon Christian Left: American politics. In an opinion piece for The New York Times, liberal economist Paul Krugman termed President Bush a radical who “wants to break down barriers between church and state.” In his influential book What’s The Matter with Kansas?, Thomas Frank speculated as to why working-class people in Kansas, a state with a progressive tradition, would allow themselves to be manipulated by evangelists and the Republican Party into voting against their own economic interests.

  • Eschatological Anarchism: Eschatology and Politics in Contemporary Greek Theology

    Eschatological Anarchism: Eschatology and Politics in Contemporary Greek Theology

    1 Eschatological Anarchism: Eschatology and Politics in Contemporary Greek Theology -Dr. Brandon Gallaher, University of Exeter For nearly 70 years, Orthodox academic theology has followed with near religious fervour the 'neo-patristic synthesis’ paradigm pioneered by the Russian theologian, historian and ecumenist Georges Florovsky (1893-1979). This theological approach begins and ends with the perpetual theological return to and renewal in the Patristic corpus (especially the Greek Fathers), monastic spiritual traditions and Byzantine liturgy. Theology to be worthy of the name must always be ‘following the Holy Fathers’; itself a phrase found in the conciliar acta to introduce doctrinal definitions. Yet of late there has been an increasing awareness amongst Orthodox theologians in Western Europe and North America of the severe limitations of this type of theology, which all too often has been scholasticized by Florovsky’s epigones, and thus the need for it to be reenvisioned. Neo-patristic forms of theology tend to be little interested in culture and politics other than in the Church arts such as iconography and hymnography and in rehashing various version of the Byzantine 'symphonia' of church and state (itself a buzz-word in Putin’s Russia). Only those forms of political and social order are acceptable that are part of the eternal artifice of the Byzantine ecclesial canon found as it were frozen in the gold mosaics of San Vitale. For this reason, it is quite rare to find an Orthodox theological exploration of the positive nature of modernity. In fact, what has become almost routine in Orthodox public religious discourse are unrelenting critiques of liberal democracy and "militant secularism" understood as two heads of the beast of "secular humanism." In this study, I will contrast a well-known Greek Orthodox critic of modernity (Christos Yannaras (b.
