By Eric C. Miller

…political effects. Linker is correct that a liberal society ought to be a free and open space where ideas may be exchanged and contested in free and open fashion. He may also be correct that proponents of same-sex marriage should meditate on their individual and collective responses to those opposed. But he is wrong to suggest that Ryan T.

…re surprised by the turn of events that led this former hard-drinking stand-up comic into the ranks of the clergy than Bolz-Weber herself.

That is far from “empty honor.” DiMarzio also went a step further, asking Catholic schools to not accept any honors from Gov. Cuomo in the future and also instructing…

…orces him to enter his family into the witness protection program. His stay-at-home wife Kate (Denise Richards), their bratty teenaged daughter Cindy, pre-pubescent son Howie, and his senile mother Barbara are sent by Needleman’s attorney Brian (Tyler Perry) from the suburbs of New York to hide in a place not even the mob would think to look—in Madea’s (also Tyler Perry) Georgia home. As the unaware and reluctant witness, George is forced to figur…

By Arri Eisen

…es, jobs, labs, companies, congregations—function (or not) as groups. This new research gives us at least two hors d’oeuvres of insight into human behavior, before enjoying what is a potential feast of ways to improve the way we do things: (1) collective intelligence is an emergent and apparently powerful property of interacting humans, and (2) it’s much easier to change groups to adjust for the factors that predict higher collective intelligence…

By Peter Laarman

…strap on his sword and buckler in order to go out and do battle with the oh-so-smug conservative Christers. While he still lobs a few choice zingers (“religion is a neurological disorder for which faith is the only cure”), He is now very much a man at peace with his own past—and even at peace with his righteous despisers. Schaeffer is superb storyteller, and this is a good thing inasmuch as he believes that our stories are what most ennoble us as…

By Brittany Shoot

…out how people in these specific groups have received your work? Since the book is relatively new, the reactions I have are mostly anecdotal. The chapter about the metal bands has been around longer, and I’ve met several people who say the material accurately describes their adolescence. A lot of people have what I would describe as a rueful nostalgia for their days in youth groups. If I were still revising the book, I might write a chapter that f…
