This recent collection of quotes basically present an interesting question to us. What are the implications of Christendom being, as the authors argue, “done”? Well, if you are a Christian, and Christendom really is done, then the obvious answer is to rebuild it. Right? Frost and Hirsch argue that this situation “will require that we …
Just Hum a Few Bars
I wanted to mention the Psalm-Off again, just to get everybody remindered about it. My initial announcements about it are to be found here and here. This afternoon I heard a portion of one of the entries we are expecting, and it got me juiced up. I am really excited about the whole project. So …
Toodle On Over
John Starke over at The Gospel Coalition has posted a few notes about The Rhetoric Companion. Check it out here. And if you want to toodle on over to Canon Press to get your pre-order in, well, nobody’s stopping ya.
From the Moon and Everything
I like bragging about my kids. God says we are supposed to, but I am grateful my kids make it easy. My daughter Bekah has now released a line of fabric designs, and went to a big convention in Salt Lake City a few weeks ago. Everybody who was anybody was all like, you know, …

My grandson Knox had an impressive statement about the Reformation, at a sixth grade level, along with a poem he had written about Luther. …

The Puritan Five
The day before our fall conference, we have ourselves a little prefunk going. (I really need an editor to tell me how to spell things like prefunk. The way it is there seems a tad misleading.) Anyhow, this pre-conference is for ministers, and here is our description of it. In order for ministry to engage …
Sexual Sanity
I would like to drive as much traffic as I can to this review of the new IVP book, The End of Sexual Identity. The book is by Jenell Paris, and is reviewed by Peter Jones. The sooner we understand that every worldview has a sexual expression, and that every sexual act is a disrobed …
Thanks for the Thanks
The most appropriate way to begin a review of a book like this is by giving thanks for it. The Gift of Thanks is more a collection of micro-arguments and discursive observations on various aspects of gratitude than it is a sustained argument from front to back, and yet the end result is extremely satisfying. …
