Subjectivism is a dirty word when one is discussing matters of religion. Modern philosophy has worked to pathologize religion as mere sense experience with little relation to objective reality, and much of religious sensation has been rendered moot as evidence for the divine.
Is higher education enrollment is headed for a cliff?

In the post-World War II economy, higher education has become one of the most powerful, desired and politicized elements of modern life. But it may be facing a severe existential threat. In 1940, only 5.5% of the U.S. male population had college degrees. With the G.I.

Having lived 27 years outside of Tennessee, I’ve had plenty of opportunity to watch the places I’ve lived in grow and change with the times. My hometown of Aurora, IL, has changed dramatically in the past three decades, especially since I moved out as an adult to become a journalist. It’s even changed dramatically in the four years since I moved. It was curious, then, to return to my roots after years of working abroad to discover that Nashville came back with me.

In a year when the Oscars’ Best Documentary award went to “No Other Land” — an equivocating Palestinian drama of local activists fighting the Israeli military’s alleged displacements and discrimination — it is fascinating to see a pro-Israeli film break through mainstream Hollywood. Despite Americans’ overwhelming bipartisan support for Israel’s right to defend itself, Hollywood is torn on the issue.

In the five years since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Republicans and Christians have seen a complete shift in their perspective on vaccines that is changing federal policy and affecting global charity efforts — potentially sparking a measles epidemic in the process. The Trump administration’s newest line of attack is a complete restructuring of federal health agencies.
