In which our regular writers toss around subjects a little more
volatile than usual.
Immanuel Can: Tom,
a week ago we did a post called “Virginity as Social Construct”. But I’m
wondering if there aren’t perhaps a lot of Christians who have heard somebody
in school or in the media say that this or that thing is “a construct”,
and maybe wondered what that actually means. Does everybody know?
Tom: Good
question.
IC: It’s become a
very important word lately, so maybe we should talk a bit about where it comes
from, what it means, and perhaps why Christians should be especially alert when
somebody claims that something is “a construct”. Should we spend some time on
that?
