About James Sherk:
(updated August 2005)
History. . .
I originally hailed from Canada, but my family moved
to Michigan when I was fourteen, where they still live. In July
2002 I naturalized and became an American citizen. I attended Hillsdale
College for my undergraduate education, graduating in 2003 with
a B.S. in Mathematics and Economics. In December 2005 I completed
a Masters in economics at the University of Rochester. Eventually
I aspire to work in domestic policy for either the government or
for a think tank.
The Evangel Society:
I see the Evangel Society as a vehicle to preach
Christ's love and spread Christian thought throughout our fallen
and worldly culture. At the same time, I would like to be able to
give Christians a deeper understanding of important economic and
political issues that affect the world we live in. Many Christians,
sincerely trying to follow Christ's commands, support policies that
they believe will help the poor and less fortunate, but in fact
do not. I see the Evangel Society serving an important role in teaching
Christians who have not studied economics how the economy, often
counter intuitively, works.
Of Interest :
I am definitely the political junky in the group.
I am an ardent free market conservative, and I also take the most
limited view of the proper Christian conception of the role of the
state in society of any member of the Evangel Society. I am also
an admirer of Tolkien and Lewis's works, and try to read a fair
amount of military history. I root for the Detroit Red Wings, but
don't care greatly for most other sports, besides Ultimate Frisbee
and Disc golf.
