Wasteful Extravagance: Sara Groves on the Economy of Wonder

By Joseph Sunde

“God somehow demands of us so much more than this transactional nature. It is really about the gift that we’ve been given, and the only response we can give back is with extravagance, with gratuitous beauty.” –Makoto Fujimura

Psalm 19: What Is Human Flourishing?

By Joe Carter

“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.”

The mission of the Acton Institute is to promote a free and virtuous society characterized by individual liberty and sustained by religious principles. We seek to articulate a vision of society that is both free and virtuous, the end of which is human flourishing.
