@danielghummel@eerdmansbooks Ryrie is exactly who I was thinking of with the label! The group I was 'born into' is still going with a university still graduating theology students & pastors (Grace Christian in Grand Rapids).
🔥 from @catjonathantran What began as a struggle of & for the dispossessed has devolved into culture war fixated on harms, microaggressions & sensitivity trainings. Almost none of this has anything to do w/ repairing & redistributing structures & systems. https://t.co/iKC8Eol1IX
And on International Women's Day, we also implore the biggest names in evangelicalism to condemn/denounce/ rebuke adult men who groom, rape, and sexually violate young women.
Lots of insightful theological writing coming to punch back against the latest TGC nonsense. I extremely love this piece from @bethfelkerjones "When someone tells lies about the good news of Jesus, it’s theology’s job to call out those lies." https://t.co/FDxE78lgse
#SocialJustice demands that we fight against the causes of poverty: inequality and the lack of labour, land, and lodging; against those who deny social and labour rights; and against the culture that leads to taking away the dignity of others.
Finally my favorite read: The Family Izquierdo by @ruben_degollado. Yes I did cry, potentially twice. Degollado's magical-realist generational portrait of a Mexican-American family living in a border town is a work of art. Go get this book and start the new year off right. 📚❤️🩹
Leave the World Behind by @Rumaan Alam. Apocalyptic-ish. But man does this thing make you think about our stupid, privileged, tech-dependent lives. Alam's prose is concise & efficient and poetic. It will be better than the movie.
