Science Corner: Cutting the String on Yo-yo Dieting

November 30, 2016 by Andy Walsh Leave a Comment

I'm not here to tell you how to celebrate the holidays; whatever you do, do it all for the glory of the Lord.

September 21, 2010 by Micheal Hickerson 4 Comments

Almost two weeks ago, Comment published my article Is That Disagreement Religious—or Political?, about the political differences between evangelical academics and their academic colleagues. Here's my opening paragraph: In the political conflicts between right and left, evangelical Christian faculty are often in danger of being squeezed in the middle.
