I’m working on Part 2 of why Christianity is compatible with libertarianism, but in the meantime, I’d like to share a few links, just for those of you with nothing to do but follow my links:
- Libertarian Christians – Norman has spent a tremendous amount of time writing and modifying the LCC website, and has quite a following and great excellent content. His writings are generally more thorough than my own, and he has plenty more material devoted to what I’m just now starting to write more about. If I can write like he does in a year, I’d be very proud of myself.
- Mises Academy – I’m indebted tremendously to the Mises Institute for its superb and scholarly contribution to the world of economics and philosophy. Ludwig von Mises wrote the most profound and scholarly book on economics and social philosophy, Human Action (and it isn’t boring!). Murray Rothbard likewise has written prolifically about human cooperation and the social order. But what I appreciate most about the Mises Institute is its ongoing commitment to and support of progress by way of education. Not only do they give away so much for free (Human Action is a free download for e-readers and as a PDF), they provide it willingly and generously because they believe that the truth will set us free. The reason I’m posting this link is because their new Mises Academy is hosting a few classes this summer, and a few more in the Fall, and I will be taking one of the classes beginning in September. I’m not sure which, but probably Bob Murphy’s Principles of Economics. While I’ve studied basic economics for the last 2-3 years, I’ve not taken a formal class on it.
- A New Kind of Christianity – Brian McLaren is a hero of the faith for me. If it were not for him, I’d likely be burnt out of my faith, or possibly have abandoned it. I’m indebted gratefully to him for helping me think through exactly what it is I believe about Jesus, God, religion, and how to share our faith with others. I bought his latest book the day it was released, and I’ve read about 30% of it, and then I stopped. I decided to enjoy the book with a friend instead, but that won’t begin until August or September. I’m posting it here because I might likely blog thru the 10 Questions he asks. So far I’m very impressed with the book.
