Culture

  • By Gavin Ortlund, January 4, 2016 in The Gospel Coalition

    I love movies. I always have, but for some reason I’ve grown more and more fascinated with movies in the last three or four years—the massive industry that stands behind them, the intricacies and subtleties that make for good acting and good narration, and most of all, the power of stories to communicate at such a deep, complex, emotional level. I loved the new Star Wars.

  • "Examining culture's popular ideas"

  • By Dr. Brian G. Toews in PBU Today, Winter 2009

    We believe that the pervasive presence of technology in our lives justifies a careful examination as Christians seek to appraise all things according to the mind of Christ. Biblical-mindedness requires of us the wisdom to understand how the texts of Scripture speak to the issues of the day.

    Perguntas como “Qual língua falaremos no céu?” ou “Qual é a língua dos anjos?” podem parecer engraçadas ou complexas, mas para elas só existem duas alternativas de resposta: ou será o Plattdeutsch—dialeto alemão falado especialmente pelos menonitas e que, segundo eles, leva-se uma eternidade para aprender; ou terá de ser o inglês, já que os americanos têm se mostrado incapazes de aprender um segundo idioma. Brincadeiras à parte, o fato é que a obsessão com o aprendizado de inglês chega a conferir-lhe uma aura angelical.

"Without a narrative, life has no meaning. Without meaning, life has no purpose. Without purpose schools are houses of detention, not attention."

Neil Postman
