Karen Swallow Prior, the new “research professor” at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, endorsed the Revoice Conference both before and after it was held to “celebrate queer culture.” It turns out they’re still celebrating queerness, and this time doing so by throwing a Taylor Swift-themed party and painting their fingernails together. This isn’t satire. They’re just … Read more
Attacking ‘fundamentalists’ seems to be all the rage these days. From yesterday’s Dividing Line program with James White to Beth Moore’s frequent barbs, being a fundamentalist sure seems like a major faux pas.

[Editor’s Note: This is a weird post. First, it’s a re-post from Douglas Wilson at Blog and Mablog, which is a re-post from Dr. Robert Gagnon. We have occasionally run Gagnon’s Facebook posts – which are often lengthy and astute – with permission. We are running this with Wilson’s commentary without permission, and hope he … Read more
There is really no God-hater with whom Karen Swallow Prior would not join herself in fellowship. Some more charitable souls than myself view Prior as just a simple-minded woman who, like an evangelical and female J. Quincy Magoo, has somehow found herself in the upper echelons of the Evangelical Intelligentsia, irrespective of her woeful lack of self-awareness … Read more
