It’s a Consensus World, After All?

  • Culture
February 25, 2014July 12, 2018
Author: Howard Ahmanson

“Spoiled Rich Kids” and “Ghetto Gangsters”

  • Culture
February 6, 2014August 15, 2018
Author: Howard Ahmanson

Trustfunders like myself are accused of a lot. We are accused of being ‘spoiled’, whatever that is. Some of us take the route of a Paris Hilton, others of us follow the rather ostentatious simplicity of the so-called ‘trustafarian’. But […]

God = Not Society and Not the Autonomous Individual

  • Culture
April 16, 2013July 3, 2018
Author: Howard Ahmanson

Conor Friedersdorf, fortunately declares that children do not belong to the ‘community’ or ‘society’.  Actually, they don’t really belong to their parents anyway; they belong to God, and their parents are temporary stewards of them.  While we cannot say it […]

Author: Howard Ahmanson

In view of the recently released book Building Home and the upcoming conference No Place Like Home here’s an interesting twist on the famous film “It’s a Wonderful Life.”  The author seems to like Potterville better.  I don’t think I do, because […]

Author: Howard Ahmanson

Well, Nashville has been the nation’s third media city – and that in regard to book publishing, not just music – for at least 40 years!  It is the one red-state place where someone leaving Hollywood would feel reasonably comfortable. […]

Evangelicals: From ‘Mind their own Business’ to Activism

  • Culture
January 28, 2013July 5, 2018
Author: Howard Ahmanson
