what we have rather than taking what we want, to witness with all we are to the Truth who is the Way to the Life, and to be content in God's gracious provision. Since a public school is forbidden to show this to me or my children, why would I want us confused by a Decalogue turned into something else — reduced to some historical moment in the evolution of American law? Sure, the consequence is a biblically and theologically illiterate society. The alternative is a biblically and theologically confused one. Take your pick. 11:33 PM E-mail today from a student who has been missing class a lot lately: If there is anything I can do to get back into

about these things systematically, and I would defer to them. I assume their definitions would center on Jesus' own example and commands. 11:28 PM Two UK troops are being disciplined for refusing to take part in an attack they thought would harm civilians. Why don't we see more of this? There are, broadly speaking, two theologically coherent Christian positions on war. The first is pacifism: Christians should not practice life-threatening violence. The second is Augustinian just war doctrine: Christians may only fight under a set of theologically determined conditions. (Sheer patriotism, sheer anti-patriotism, pragmatism, utilitarianism, and other

of the Luke passage is basically the same: the "hate" is supposed to be a transitional state on the way to a higher love. Yes, with this little caveat: Not a higher love, but a proper love. Augustine calls sin "concupiscence." It is not lower love or lesser love, but disordered love. (Eve Tushnet asks an interesting question about this: what does this say about how you treat nonbelieving family and friends? Is Telford supposed to be hating me? If so, he's not doing a very good job of it!) To answer Eve (may I call you Eve, Ms. Tushnet? please call me Telford), I don't think Jesus distinguishes between believers and nonbelievers here

consequences for those who call upon God's name. It is not "anti-Israel" to condemn Israeli abuses. Nor is it "anti-Palestinian" or "anti-Muslim" to condemn abuses in the Umma . It is prophetic. Now Christians are not called to prophesy in order to maintain holiness among Jews and Muslims. We are called to prophesy in order to maintain holiness in the Church of Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 5), into which Jews and Muslims are invited. But in the service of guiding the Church, Christians are called to discern the actions of those outside the fellowship, in order that our own witness may be more effective. In this case, I think

the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called each living creatures, that would be its name. And the man gave names to all the cattle and to the birds of the sky and to all the wild beasts ..." (Gen. 2:19-20). The man and woman are powerful, not powerless. God has set the world at their feet (Psalm 8). In both this story's cultural context and its literary context following Gen. 1:24-28, God is inviting the man and woman to share his authority over all the other creatures in the human domain. Human beings are not the world’s critics, but its Master’s deputies. Why would God have vested human beings with such power?

as possible from the caller. Use the checklist on the following page. When the caller hangs up, call Public Safety at extension 6222. Give the officer your name, location, telephone number, and the information you obtained from the caller. Do not hang up until told to do so. Inform your supervisor, Resident Director, or summer conference leader as soon as possible. If possible, get his or her attention while still on the line. Report any suspicious object to Public Safety or other emergency personnel. Do not touch or move it. Follow all instructions given by emergency personnel. Do not re-enter any

VeggieTales' missing ethical center. And most Christians never notice it either – not because they consider Jesus irrelevant to Christian ethics, but because they supply the center themselves, through evangelical faith and practices that center on Jesus Christ's cross, community, and eschatological new creation. (These centers are reflected respectively in the ubiquitous "What Would Jesus Do?" merchandise of a few years ago, relatively high Church attendance and support, and popular sanctificationist movements like Promise Keepers.) Christian viewers supply the hermeneutic that locates Big Idea's biblical and modern narratives in a

well connected to the power centers of the Muslim world: Wahhabism. It controls the holy sites of Mecca and Medina. It has access to tons of money. Like Luther, it knows how to use mass media. It appeals to Arabs, who though only 20% or so of Muslims still occupy Islam's geographic and cultural 'center.' As Catholic reform at the center came to characterize Catholic life worldwide, so from these centers Wahhabism is expanding its reach to Islam's borders: southeast Asia, sub-saharan Africa, Europe, and North America. Wahhabis are more Jesuit than Lutheran. Wahhabism, the dominant form of 'reformed Islam', by definition does not represent the Muslim
