This week we’re remembering Bill Pannell, the Black evangelist and seminary professor who died earlier this month at age 95. Pannell’s teaching, as his friend Edward Gilbreath puts it, “was grounded in a strikingly honest understanding of how Christianity and the church really operate in the world. He was frank about how they are often accessories to the sins of racism and social injustice rather than proponents of reconciliation.” | Read the rest of Pannell’s obituary and Gilbreath’s tribute to a “walking embodiment of ‘speaking truth to power.’”

editors’ picks

Sara Kyoungah White, editor: I’m enjoying N. T. Wright and Michael F. Bird’s The New Testament in Its World, which I’m reading for my seminary hermeneutics class this semester.

Elise Brandon, copy editor: Samin Nosrat’s Salt Fat Acid Heat. I have loved learning not just how to cook well but why the different elements of cooking work.

Morgan Lee, managing editor, global: Dak galbi, my new favorite Korean dish. (I ate this when I was at the Fourth Lausanne Congress in Incheon.) Think stir-fried spicy chicken, cabbage, rice cakes, and maybe corn or noodles. In South Korea, they’ll likely cook this on a huge skillet at your table—and add cheese.

This campaign season, Christians have tried to proactively address political polarization—starting with tough conversations among themselves.

Human suffering should not cause us to categorize our neighbor but to be one. 

Where some see ambition as the key to evangelism, others experiment with subtler ways of connecting to people who don’t think they need God.

In Israel’s only communal village of believers in Jesus, three women reflect on loving their neighbors—and their enemies—in the midst of war.


IN THE MAGAZINE

Our September/October issue explores themes in spiritual formation and uncovers what’s really discipling us. Bonnie Kristian argues that the biblical vision for the institutions that form us is renewal, not replacement—even when they fail us. Mike Cosper examines what fuels political fervor around Donald Trump and assesses the ways people have understood and misunderstood the movement. Harvest Prude reports on how partisan distrust has turned the electoral process into a minefield and how those on the frontlines—election officials and volunteers—are motivated by their faith as they work. Read about Christian renewal in intellectual spaces and the “yearners”—those who find themselves in the borderlands between faith and disbelief. And find out how God is moving among his kingdom in Europe, as well as what our advice columnists say about budget-conscious fellowship meals, a kid in Sunday school who hits, and a dating app dilemma.
