Mourning Christchurch
March 17, 2019 | By Bradley Yam SY ’21. Bradley is majoring in Ethics, Politics and Economics.
Proverbs 6:17 Here are six things God hates,and one more that he loathes with a passion:eyes that are arrogant,a tongue that lies,hands that murder the innocent,a heart that hatches evil plots,feet that race down a wicked track,a mouth that lies under oath,a troublemaker in the family.
The Nature of Justice: Writers' Forum
Feb 8, 2016 | Pedro Alonso Enamorado ‘17
Logos journal hosted an event on Friday, February 5th to encourage conversation about the nature of justice. A group of Yalies came together around a table to tackle the difficulties in writing about justice. They began by trying to answer the question: what is justice? They looked at some of the unspoken givens understood when discussing justice, such as the idea of equity. There must be a balance of some kind, whether in interpersonal relations, commerce or God-man relations. Consequentially, participants agreed that justice describes conditions between two or more entities.
"Is Anything Worth Believing In?" The Veritas Forum with John Lennox
April 2, 2013 | by Travis Reginal BK '16
On Saturday, February 23rd, John Lennox rolled onto Yale’s campus for the first time to speak on the question “Is Anything Worth Believing In?” It was part of the widely popular Veritas Forum that brings speakers to campuses in the Northeast to speak on the big issues. Yale lecturer in philosophy, Greg Ganssle, helped to facilitate John Lennox’s argument for Christianity by clarifying some of the claims Lennox made and at times pushed back on them. The event was very much anticipated in the Christian community, as a way to bring skeptical friends to hear someone discuss religion logically, and for the skeptical community it was an opportunity to see a moment where John Lennox may falter and give them a reason for their unbelief.
On Faith and the Coronavirus
By Serena Puang, DC ‘22. Serena is majoring in Linguistics.
Faith in the face of coronavirus is not blindly insisting on meeting as a church per usual and ignoring the real dangers that this pandemic can pose for people (though many churches are still faithfully meeting and taking precautions). It is not ignoring the problem or wishing it away.
