Timothy Conkling found a completely different story: A look at China’s patriotic martyrs

19 February 2015

For years the Chinese Communist Party justified persecuting unregistered house churches by labeling them as cults that disdained the government. Conkling’s published dissertation, titled Mobilized Merchants—Patriotic Martyrs: China’s House-Church Protestants and the Politics of Cooperative Resistance, is a careful analysis of the current relationship between the unregistered house church and the government, and gives a fascinating glimpse into a world few have access to.

Led by a theology of martyrdom, house churches view persecution as a privilege, and thus do not respond violently against their oppressors. read more

Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus

1921

by Ludwig Wittgenstein at Cambridge University

In his lifetime, Wittgenstein published just one book review, one article, a children's dictionary, and the 75-page "Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus" (1921), which served as his Ph.D. thesis at Cambridge. By showing the application of modern logic to metaphysics, via language, he provided new insights into the relations between world, thought and language and thereby into the nature of philosophy. He is considered by some to be the greatest philosopher of the 20th century.
