Yesterday, I shared my response to an article by Douglas Wilson where he argued that women refusing to marry were turning to Satan. You can read my response here.

Is Doug Wilson right to say that women who refuse to marry, bear children and carry out domestic chores are turning after Satan?
The short and simply answer to what might be considered a silly question is “No.” But obviously for us to end up with such a silly question, Doug Wilson has been saying something silly. It’s worth having a look at what he has been saying as it gives us an insight into the kind of… Continue reading Is Doug Wilson right to say that women who refuse to marry, bear children and carry out domestic chores are turning after Satan?
Douglas Wilson, Bethel, Christian Nationalism and confessional boundaries
Anthony Bradley writes about Douglas Wilson: In February 2026, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth extended an invitation to Moscow, Idaho pastor Doug Wilson to lead a Christian prayer service at the Pentagon.

Are we united by hate?
Ben Merkle of New St Andrew’s College recently preached at the church where Pete Hegseth, US Secretary for War, attends in Washington.

Douglas Wilson on secularism
Douglas Wilson suggests the term “Mere Christendom” for his take on the relationship of Church and State, of Christianity and Nation. He writes: I argue … for a principled abandonment of the disastrous experiment of secularism, and for a corporate confession of the fact that Jesus rose from the dead, and all done in such… Continue reading Douglas Wilson on secularism
Doug Wilson and Christian Nationalism
It’s not that long back that whenever I wrote or spoke about things like Doug Wilson, Federal Vision and Christian Nationalism that I would get the pushback “why are you even talking about them?” In recent weeks the pushback on Christian Nationalism has become “you need to be very careful about what you say about… Continue reading Doug Wilson and Christian Nationalism
