Democracy and the Ten Commandments

Robert Kimball Shinkoskey

Democracy and the Ten Commandments

For 2,000 years Western culture has leaned heavily on the Ten Commandments for guidance in religion, ethics, and morality.

Black Theology—Essays on Gender Perspectives

What do African American men have to do with gender? In this collection of riveting and wide-ranging essays, Dwight N. Hopkins draws on over thirty-five years of wrestling with these questions. Too often gender is seen as a «woman's only» discussion. But in reality, men have a gender too. Some say it is biological; others claim it has to do with socialization.

Amazing Grace of Quantum Physics

Dillard W. Faries

Amazing Grace of Quantum Physics

Science and faith have had a long intertwined history. The relationship has run the gamut from a total disconnect to an adversarial battleground where proponents of each claim total victory. However, if God created the physical world and remains active in the physical world, we cannot ignore the interaction nor can we assume or expect a world of conflict. While nineteenth-century physics brought classical physics–which quite reasonably divorced God and nature–to a culmination, twentieth-century...

Eugenics and Protestant Social Reform

The eugenics movement prior to the Second World War gave voice to the desire of many social reformers to promote good births and prevent bad births. Two sources of cultural authority in this period, science and religion, often found common cause in the promotion of eugenics. The rhetoric of biology and theology blended in strange ways through a common framework known as degeneration theory. Degeneration, a core concept of the eugenics movement, served as a key conceptual nexus between...
