Following on from my 10 in January<\/a> and 11 in February<\/a>, here are ten of the things I found really interesting in March.<\/p>\n

1. Lackademia: Why Do Academics Lean Left?<\/a> by Noah Carl – a really interesting paper that is well worth reading in the current climate.
\n2.
The World on Our Doorstep<\/a> by Dewi Hughes – a brilliant little book that is about mission to internationals, but contains a wealth of ‘stuff’ on culture too!
\n3.
Rachel Dolezal: ‘I’m not going to stoop and apologise and grovel’<\/a> – a brilliant<\/em> piece in the Guardian by Decca Aitkenhead that is well worth reading when thinking about identity and privilege.
\n4. David Mathis,
What Does the Shack Say About Your Pain?<\/a> – a superb, and pastorally minded, piece of writing about the Shack.
\n5.
What is Marriage?<\/a> – a fascinating<\/em> academic article in the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy<\/em>, putting forth a secular case for traditional marriage.
\n6.
Martin McGuinness at Summer Madness 2015<\/a> – this is a really powerful, encouraging video, featuring Christian young people praying for a key Irish leader.
\n7. We live in interesting times. Literally, history is unfolding before our eyes. Make sure you read
UK Prime Minister Theresa May’s letter<\/a> beginning the Brexit process.
\n8. Christianity Today is a brilliant magazine. They recently published a superb article on ‘
The Three Myths of Cohabitation<\/a>‘.
\n9. A relative of Benny Hinn, the heretical ‘faith healer’, has written
a provocative and controversial post on Christian conferences<\/a>.
\n10. Another great article from Christianity today
explores the implications of our over-sexualised culture on male\/female relationships in ministry<\/a>…<\/p>\n

I hope these pique your interest…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
