Reforming Marriage: Gospel Living for Couples

Details vary, but the general assumption is the same: things will g… Read more…

Angels in the Architecture: A Protestant Vision for Middle Earth

Angels in the Architecture: A Protestant Vision for Middle Earth

by Douglas Wilson and Douglas M. Jones

Christianity presents a glorious vision of culture, a vision overflowing with truth, beauty, and goodness.

Medieval Christianity began telling a beautiful story about the good life, but it was silenced in mid-sentence. The Ref… Read more…

Federal Husband

Federal Husband

by Douglas Wilson

Federal thinking is foreign to the modern mind. Federal has come to mean nothing more than centralized or big. Because your federal government has become so uncovenantal, it is not surprising that the original meaning of the word is lost. But federal thinking is the backbone of historic Protestant theology, and the Church needs to recover the covenantal unde… Read more…

Future Men: Raising Boys to Fight Giants

Future Men: Raising Boys to Fight Giants

When Theodore Roosevelt taught Sunday school for a time, a boy showed up one Sunday with a black eye. He admitted he had been fighting and on a Sunday too.
