The Law Coalition

By D. G. Hart | Published: June 14, 2011

While working on a talk for a conference last week hosted and attended by academic conservatives, I revisited the Manhattan Declaration. My point was that so many who think themselves conservative think they also take religion seriously by injecting faith into public affairs. But what ends up happening most often is that the complexities and… Read More→

A Proposal On Which All Anti-2kers May Unite

By D. G. Hart | Published: January 20, 2011

I know that not all anti-2kers get along. Heck, the Baylys seem to have banned Rabbi Bret from participating in all the fun over at their free wheeling discussions. Meanwhile, Dr. K., who may be the longest winded of 2k critics has appeal to Bret but may be too Dutch for the Baylys. Then there… Read More→

Freedom for Home Schoolers, Tyranny for Infidels

By D. G. Hart | Published: October 30, 2010

In the category of harmonic convergence, Rabbit Bret and Brothers B recently huffed and puffed about a PCA pastor from Richmond, Indiana who had the temerity to write a letter to the local newspaper editor in which he argued for more government oversight of homeschooling. In his 19-point reply (with subpoints, no less) the good… Read More→

Anne Rice Quits Christianity and Endorses Bret McAtee

By D. G. Hart | Published: August 4, 2010

I feel somewhat responsible for Ms. Rice’s recent deconversion. At the risk of name dropping, let me explain. Back in 2007 during the Democratic primaries Rice wrote a very positive endorsement of my radically 2k book, A Secular Faith: Why Christianity Favors the Separation of Church and State. In that same post at her blog,… Read More→

To Ask and Tell, or Not to Ask and Tell: This is the Contradiction

By D. G. Hart | Published: August 2, 2010

Rabbi Bret is baaaaaaack from vacation (apparently) and he didn’t waste anytime piling on his favorite virus – the infectious disease known as Radical 2K. He reports that the URCNA Synod has decided to send a letter to the U.S. Armed Services official, drafted by the Presbyterian and Reformed Joint Commission on Chaplains and Miltary… Read More→

Hard or Soft, The Anti-2K Position Displays the Judaic Folly

By D. G. Hart | Published: June 25, 2010

(Or, how to blow Dr. Ortlund’s mind.) The hits keep coming. The line grows of people wanting to take a swipe at the two kingdom doctrine (while the silence on Lillback’s strange fire of Sacred Fire is deafening). A while back, Comment magazine published a piece by David Koyzis that critiques the 2k position, and… Read More→

When Tranformationalisms Collide

By D. G. Hart | Published: June 21, 2010

Our friendly but misguided theonomic sparring partner, Rabbi Bret, is a delegate to the Christian Reformed Church’s Synod. Let that sink in. Amazing! True to his voluble ways, Bret is peppering his blog with updates on the affairs of Synod. Having spent four years in the CRC and seen how Reformed-world-and-life-viewism of a left-leaning sort… Read More→

Putting a Point on Two Kingdoms

By D. G. Hart | Published: February 19, 2010

Posts and comments have been flying fast and furious over at the blog of those two crazy guys, Brothers Tim and David Bayly (they admit that they are “out of their minds”) about two-kingdom theology. It started over a week ago with acrimony surrounding the experimental Calvinism of Jonathan Edwards and Martin Lloyd-Jones, but quickly… Read More→
