Roepke in Geneva: Revidivus

Small is Still Beautiful, Pt. 2: “Economics and the Soul”
Charles Brown
This section of the book begins by counting the real cost of free trade. Conventional economists consider global free trade to be good—invariably and indisputably. Critics of this sacred dogma are condemned as “protectionists”. We live in a climate today where no one questions the [...]

Reformed Presbyterian Witness reader Clay Finley of Sparta, Ill. writes:
“I write in response to Bill Chellis’ article in the November issue entitled “The Garden Kingdom.†In that article, Mr. Chellis argues that human government was always part of creation, even before man fell into sin. Describing the teaching that the state [...]

My Brother’s Keeper?
Why don’t Christians just mind their own business? Why don’t you keep your laws off my body? Who is hurt by the marriage of a committed homosexual couple? What extremely post-modern questions. As much as these questions sound like the hip banter coming from a table at your [...]
