Douglas Wilson on Music and Propriety: “Rejection of a particular kind of music for worship is not the same thing as a rejection of that kind of music. I like jazz, I like rock and roll, some of it, I like classical, I like the blues, and I love the psalms. Now given this hash of musical interests and appreciations, you would think that I would be arguing that we should employ all of it in the worship of God.

An excerpt from Douglas Wilson’s Easy Chairs, Hard Words: Conversations on the Liberty of God: “Do you mind if we go over something again? I think we need to talk a little more about whether we can lose our salvation.” Martin laughed. “Sure. But there would be a lot more peace in the church if Christians learned to frame such questions more biblically.” “How do you mean?” “When the question is posed as to whether a Christian can lose his
Douglas Wilson on the need of the hour in Mother Kirk: Modern evangelicals in our culture have gotten money, power, and influence, and it has been like giving whiskey to a two-year-old. But the need of the hour is theological, not political. The arena is the pulpit and the table, not the legislative chamber.

Story 3: The Bleeding Tree “Once upon a time, an oak tree stood on a hill overlooking a quiet valley. The tree was tall for his age and very strong. His long branches spread in every direction, and his leaves sparkled like emeralds in the sunlight. Where his branches met his thick trunk, robins and gray squirrels built their nests. On the other side of the valley was a temple of unearthly beauty. It was so wondrous a temple that the tree often doubted that
Douglas Wilson on boys and books in Future Men (Chapter 12): In C.S. Lewis’s The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, we are given a good example of a boy who was brought up poorly. Eustace Scrubb had stumbled into a dragon’s lair, but he did not know what kind of place it was. “Most of us know what we should expect to find in a dragon’s lair, but, as I said before, Eustace had read only the wrong books. They had a lot to say about
Is Christianity Good for the World A debate between Christopher Hitchens and Douglas Wilson Foreword by Jonah Goldberg, author of Liberal Fascism Put two contrarians together and shake well. —Christianity Today The gloves come off in this electric exchange, originally hosted by Christianity Today, as leading atheist Christopher Hitchens (author of God Is Not Great) and Christian apologist Douglas Wilson (author of Letter from a Christian Citizen) go head-to-head on this divisive question. The result is entertaining and provocative—a glimpse into the ongoing debate.
In this lively reading of Ecclesiastes, Doug Wilson reveals its powerful lessons of vanity, joy, celebration, and the sovereignty of God. This is a great book, in fact it was Doug’s favorite to write. “Most Christians view the book of Ecclesiastes as an enigma, a puzzle from which we might draw a few aphorisms but little else. Douglas Wilson’s fresh, lucid treatment of this wonderful book enables us to see that its message is not a confused riddle but an
Thoughts from the author: J.R.R. Tolkien was once asked whether he believed that Middle Earth was real. His reply was, “One hopes.” Even a work of fiction, if it is compelling enough, can awaken a deep desire for it to have been true. So here is my proposal.
