By , Op-ed contributor To begin with, internet anonymity, in and of itself, is morally neutral and can even be wise. We don't walk around the street wearing nametags and if a stranger approached us and asked for our address, almost all of us would hesitate. In an age of identity theft and phishing schemes, who knows what they might do with the information?

One of the most interesting assessments of critical theory is an essay by Conor Barnes, a former self-professed anarchist, who describes how he left the social justice movement in an essay entitled “Sad Radicals.” He and his compatriots were, in his own words, committed to “deconstructing gender, monogamy, and mental health.” They “lived and breathed concepts and tools like call-outs, intersectionality, cultural appropriation, trigger warnings, safe spaces, privilege theory, and rape...

By , Op-ed contributor Critical theory should be rejected by Christians, whether it's peddled by the Left or the Right. Our culture is still experiencing the aftershocks of what pundits have dubbed the “Great Awokening,” which tore through the U.S. in the late 2010s and early 2020s. Words like “intersectionality,” “white fragility,” “ableism,” and “heterosexism,” leaked out from college Gender Studies classrooms into the pages of major newspapers. Books by scholars like Robin DiAngelo and Ibram X.

Every few months, the dumpster fire formerly known as Twitter informs me that I shouldn't be homeschooling my kids. The accusations are often hurled down from Mount Olympus as stern rebukes: They won't be properly socialized! They'll receive a substandard education! They'll become Republicans! More recently, however, Dr. Caitlin Baird raised concerns that were more bemused than disparaging.

The Term ApologeticsThe term apologetics has nothing to do with “apologizing” for anything. Typically we think of an apology as an admission of wrongdoing and a request for forgiveness. But presenting an apologetic is almost the very reverse of apologizing. An apologetic is rather a defense of what might appear to be wrong but actually is right.

While women in many countries legitimately constitute an oppressed group that is consistently subjected to cruel and unjust treatment, this is not the case in most of the Western world. Affirming the proposition that “women in America are oppressed” requires us to redefine “oppression” not in terms of concrete unjust treatment, but in terms of more shadowy and contested social norms.

A Problem for EveryoneOver the many years I’ve listened to people share their struggles and questions about faith, the problem of pain is the objection most frequently raised. That makes a lot of sense. It’s a disturbing and ever-present problem. Sooner or later, regardless of how much we may try to avoid thinking about it, everyone will die. As a young child, I learned about the Holocaust—the systematic murder of six million of my people, two-thirds of the population of European Jews.
