Found something interesting in the Hollenweger archives at Vrije Universteit Amsterdam last week. Two assignments by a Bible translator who had worked in Papua New Guinea. He took two famous courses at Fuller in 1985: MC 510 with C. Peter Wagner and John Wimber, MC 511 with Eddie Gibbs and Wimber.

So happy that "On Christian Nationalism: Critical and Theological Perspectives" is now out in print! With 19 contributors, the book addresses definitions of CN; historical development; intersections with racism, sexism, antisemitism, and Islamophobia; and practical ways to address the problem.

The plot to assassinate Lula and his running mate, Geraldo Alckmin, collapsed when military leaders refused to join, and a court later convicted Bolsonaro and six others of attempting to destroy Brazilian democracy and restore a dictatorship.

“Within hours of CT announcing that longtime pastor and scholar Nicole Massie Martin had been elected its next president and CEO, a familiar chorus of online racist and patriarchal critics declared the flagship evangelical magazine is no longer really ‘Christian.’”

The book that was never published. I came across this fully typed manuscript while sifting through the Hollenweger archives at Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam last week. Sad.

REMOVE THE REGIME rally in DC just now.

Rep Al Green - “As your member of Congress, before we take the break for Christmas, I give you my assurance that there will be articles of impeachment filed against this president.”

This is the energy. #Resist

#MyStudents Les L3 du cours #ReligionEtPolitique voilà tout ce que j'ai dit aujourd'hui ! Regardez la vidéo, on en reparle la semaine prochaine. Je préciserai deux choses : la stratégie médiatique (faire parler) et le fait que le politique reste un champ de lutte. Les dominionistes luttent encore.

Ce soir, @profgagne.bsky.social nous rappelait d’ailleurs que Trump était régulièrement comparé à un roi biblique par certains évangéliques. Certains prêchent que Trump, comme Jéhu, serait un agent du jugement divin contre une nation “corrompue”, accusée de déviations morales.
The Treasury has announced it is considering minting a coin featuring President Trump's face.
