Theological Socialism and God’s Good Grace
Karl Marx himself recognized that a free economy created a great deal of stuff. Productivity wasn’t the problem, according to Marx, in the capitalist economy. Instead, the problem was the distribution of the wealth that was created. Which is what … Continue reading
Better to Have Loved and Lost- Burying Duke

Resenting Grace: Parable of the Miserly Son
