Dolly Parton Didn’t Need You to Love Her (and That’s Why Most of Us Did)

This piece was adapted from Russell Moore’s newsletter. Subscribe here. Sometimes, when telling someone how to get to my house, I will say, “I’m just down the road from Dolly Parton.” For almost everybody in Nashville, that is almost a better locator than a pin on a GPS map. And it has never occurred to me, ever, Read more. The post Dolly Parton Didn’t Need You to Love Her (and That’s Why Most of Us Did) appeared first on Christianity Today

The culture Forster imagined discourages leaving one’s pod for embodied, human interaction, and—relieved of the need to work and having learned to frown upon original ideas—people entertain themselves by offering “lectures” on subjects using information Read more.

The ‘Terrorist Charity’ of Late Antiquity

When we think about early Christianity, we often imagine a group of radical believers huddled in a shadowy catacomb, communicating surreptitiously to avoid Roman persecution.

You Don’t Have to Be an Intellectual to Be a Theologian

Our church community has plenty of theology “professionals,” folks with advanced degrees who work in the academy or serve in ministry. It’s easy to assume that Read more.

A Community Mourns Nolan Wells and Declares ‘God Always Reveals the Truth’

Crowds walked through metal detectors and into the navy pews of Greater St. John African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church on Wednesday evening to celebrate what would have been Nolan Wells’s 19th birthday in a service that included worship, prayer, and calls for truth about how the Black teen died.
