Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome My rating: 4 of 5 stars Very enjoyable, a lot of fun, and some glorious writing. Some laugh out loud spots, not unlike Wodehouse. View all my reviews
Atheist Debate War Stories
I am currently in Atlanta for the ACCS conference — and what a great time that is — but it turns out that John Lennox was also in town for another conference just a stone’s throw away, and through a fortuitous set of circumstances, we wound up seated next to each other at dinner last …
Review: Hammer of God
Hammer of God by Bo Giertz My rating: 4 of 5 stars This book is a collection of three loosely related novellas about the “cure of souls” in Lutheran Sweden. It is all very good, and parts of it are glorious. I think it would be particularly encouraging to pastors involved in the hard slog …
Review: The Major Works
The Major Works by Francis Bacon My rating: 4 of 5 stars Francis Bacon was fantastically learned, wise, shrewd, and an epigrammatic master.

Review: Laughter at the Foot of the Cross
Laughter at the Foot of the Cross by M.A. Screech My rating: 4 of 5 stars Amazing range of scholarship on display here, but it is displayed sort of the way it might be over at the crazy cat lady’s house. The architectonics of the book are non-existent, but the staggering amount of things that …
