John Milton’s Paradise Lost poses one of the most provocative questions in the history of literary criticism: can the adversary of God and humanity be read as the hero of an epic poem, and if so, what does that reading reveal about Milton’s own complex theological and political vision? The greatest writer after Shakespeare in the 17th century is John Milton. John Milton (1608-1674) was […]

St John Bosco’s life and educational philosophy offer a case study in how a deeply held religious vocation, disciplined pastoral creativity, and an acute reading of social conditions can produce an institutional legacy that endures for more than a century and a half across six continents. St John Bosco, also known as Don Bosco, is the subject of this paper and, as all saints of […]

Genesis 22 — the binding of Isaac, known in Jewish tradition as the Akedah — stands as one of the most theologically dense and emotionally charged narratives in all of scripture, raising with unsettling directness the question of what radical obedience to God actually demands. The chapter begins with a pattern of introduction that usually suggests a new wave in the trend of events: ‘And […]

Few theological questions carry the weight of practical urgency that attaches to the question of what it means to be human, for the answer one gives shapes not only one’s doctrine of creation and salvation but also one’s ethical commitments toward other persons, the natural world, and future generations.

Equality means that every human being is to be treated in the same way and one cannot differentiate between people […]

The Epistle of James occupies a unique and often contested place within the New Testament canon, simultaneously celebrated for its intensely practical moral instruction and scrutinized for the apparent tension between its emphasis on works and Paul’s theology of justification by faith alone. As Dr. Bob once said, in his video commentaries, “this was Soren Kierkegaard’s favorite book in the New Testament because it emphasizes […]

Cross-cultural religious interviews in educational settings offer a rare opportunity to move beyond theoretical frameworks and examine how real individuals negotiate faith identity, cultural difference, and interpersonal empathy in lived conversation. This paper examines a cross-cultural interview between a Caucasian Christian person and International Muslim student. The Muslim student interviewed the Caucasian Christian person on issues dealing with differing religions, especially the backgrounds and the […]

The question “Am I my brother’s keeper?” — first posed in the book of Genesis by Cain after murdering Abel — has echoed through centuries of theological reflection, social ethics, and pastoral practice, acquiring new layers of urgency in an era of global inequality and interconnected moral responsibility. If you’re a parent you know what we’re talking about. In this questioning stage our children’s non-stop […]
