For Pastors, It's Easy to Pack on the Pounds Hcalth.com Jan. 14, 2015

Tweeting together, staying together

Manila Bulletin, Jan. 7, 2015

Article about how technology is affecting relationships quotes James Roberts, Ph.D., The Ben H. Williams Professor of Marketing in Baylor's Hankamer School of Business, who coined the term "phub" for when someone chooses to play with an app, text or make a phone call rather than pay attention to a person. "Phubbing your significant other by giving precedence to your phone activities over paying attention to your significant other is a path to strained relationships. "When one or both people in a couple overuse (variously defined) their cellphone, or other technology, it is likely to undermine their relationship." (Dr. Roberts' research on cell phone use and its impact on relationships originally was pitched and placed nationally by Baylor Media Communications in November 2012.)

'False Flags,' Charlie Hebdo, and Martin Luther King

The American Conservative, Jan. 16, 2015

Conspiracy theorists seeking to explain recent terrorist attacks in France blame Jews — specifically "the mystical supermen of Israel's Mossad,- writes Philip Jenkins, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of History in Baylor's Institute for Studies of Religion (ISR). The theory is "stupid and scurrilous," he writes, but it raises significant questions about determining who is responsible for tenor attacks. Soldiers in regular armies may not know the strategic goals of a particular campaign, but "at least they can be sure about which nation they are actually serving." But with terrorist conflicts, there may well be a disconnect between those who carry out attacks and those who mastermind them, Jenkins writes.

All Christians Rely on Tradition Rather than Scripture Alone

Carnage and Culture, Jan. 20, 2015

Philip Jenkins, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of History in Baylor's Institute for Studies of Religion (ISR), writes that evangelicals — who pride themselves on relying on Scripture alone — in reality are "far more Catholic than they might ever have thought.... Evangelicals believe absolutely in core doctrines of faith that cannot be derived simply from Scripture, but rather grow out of church tradition." An obvious example is the Trinity, Jenkins says.
