As Rodney Stark has shown, one of the great contributions of the first Christendom was the development of free markets. And I would want to maintain that one of the great results of the next Christendom will be the restoration and preservation of them. Free markets are the economic expression of the apostolic teaching that …
Seven Reason Why “The Deep Things of God” Is an Important Book
This evening a group of men from Christ Church are meeting at our home to discuss our reading of The Deep Things of God, by Fred Sanders. A month or so ago, when I started reading this book, I wrote to a friend at Crossway to thank him for publishing such an important book. Here …
The Yellow House on Howard
Last Thursday we held the memorial service for my mother In one part of the service, we asked a grandson from each of the four lines of the family to say a few things in memory of their grandmother. Here are Nate’s comments, and you can watch them below. Elizabeth Catherine Wilson – In Memoriam …
And Brought Back Here
Last week I mentioned Rachel’s book, as well as Nancy’s, both coming out the day after Thanksgiving. Domestic pre-orders get free shipping. A bunch of you jumped on that, as well you ought to have. But Canon Press is on a roll, and that same day is also releasing a book version of What I …
The Choir Celestial
Some time a while ago I was interviewed for the now-deceased Wittenberg Door. But when that magazine went and joined the choir celestial, the interview never ran. Recently, George Halitzka, the fine fellow who conducted the interview, found it on his computer, and asked if he could run it on his web site. I said …
Shut Up in His Lazar House

This means the question has arisen whether I am overlooking the explanatory participles following …
Loving the Little Years
And here is the same thing with my daughter Rachel’s new book, Loving the Little Years. We are really excited about this one. Same deal applies. It releases next month, and pre-orders get free shipping. You can pre-order here.
And Other Useful Comments
Below you may peruse the front and back of Nancy’s latest book, which is currently at the printers, due to be released next month. But I would urge you to look at it long enough to pick out the subtitle — we don’t want any misunderstandings. If you pre-order, which you may do here, you …
Words and Water, Bread and Wine
Two great Christian heresies — Marxism and Islam — borrowed something from the Christian faith which Christians should actually ask to have returned. They borrowed it, used it to great effect, and Christians for some reason let them, neglecting this idea ourselves. That “thing” they borrowed was a sense of inevitable victory for their cause. …
Enough of Them Already
The advocate of mere Christendom, in which category I place myself, must at some point address the question of whether or not we should have an established church. And, if so, which one? We already asked the Holy Ghost Lightning Tabernacle, but they declined. There are layers to this, making it a fun activity, like …
