Caleb’s Review at ISI’s First Principles
Caleb’s review of Jason Peters, ed. Wendell Berry: Life and Work
If you have not done so already, you really need to bookmark First Principles. It is the Intercollegiate Studies Institute’s new web journal.
ISI should really start a blog. Maybe they could get Caleb to be a regular. I would [...]
Our Agrarian Paradise
I am so glad to live in Walworth New York. Wayne County New York is an agrarian paradise. During the summer the road sides are dotted with small farm stands standing in front of handsome old farm houses. Pick up your fruits and veggies put your money in a little box and [...]
Meats of Woe
Industrial and farming are two words that should never be in the same sentence except by way of contrast. Kinda like the words industrial and ecclesiastical. Mega-churches with cheap salvation. Mega-meats with cheap chicken. Everyone once in a while a news story offers a warning about the dangers, even the sins, [...]
Westminster’s Warrior Children
We have moved past times when the revolution will be televised. Now it’s happening on blogs. Dueling blogs have recently been created to voice either despair or support for the current administration at WTS (Philadelphia). Saveourseminary.com (get it, SOS) is the outlet for students and alumni who fear that the biblical studies [...]

So far this series has focused on the issue of corporate confession of Christ. [...]
Community and Subsidiarity
Collectivism or Community?
We must be careful. As the doctrine of the mediatorial Kingship of Christ over the nations demands a robust doctrine of solidarity (see last months article) it would be easy to draw a number of unbiblical and dangerous conclusions. If the human race is really an organic unity, if nations are [...]
Roepke in Geneva: Revidivus W.H. Chellis
Roepke in Geneva: Revidivus
Roepke brought the wisdom of his humane economics to Geneva. History is repeating itself as Roepke disciple/scholar Dr. Ralph Ancil toils amidst the hallowed halls of Geneva College in Beaver Falls, Pa.
Readers will be aware that Geneva College is the denominational college of the RPCNA. Although Dr. Ancil is not [...]
Roepke and the Human Economy
Roepke and the Human Economy
W.H. Chellis
Since we are talking economics here at De Regno, I must admit a prejudice. I have never been a fan of the “dismal science.” Yet, not all economists are made equal. Among 20th Century economists, the German born Wilhelm Roepke (1899-1966) has no peer (at least from [...]
