Hunger Games Reviews
Over at Credenda, I have started a series, reviewing my way through The Hunger Games. I am not, I repeat not, promising to do this kind of thing for the rest of my life. I only intend to do it until they stop publishing this kind of thing.
Calvinism, Eschatology, and the New Media
Jesus is the Lord of history, and this is why we don’t need to be afraid of Twitter. Or Facebook. Or teenagers typing with their thumbs. Jesus is the Lord of history, which is why we don’t need to worry about Google making us stupid. Don’t mistake me. Google does make many of us stupid, …
