Nancy just linked to Santa Cruz Books, and I thought I should the same. Here is a note from Diane at SCB. Christmas is right around the corner and I am having a Christmas Sale for friends. I specialize in C.S.Lewis and friends first editions (Tolkien, Charles Williams, and G.K. Chesterton) with some Wodehouse for …
Much More From Canon
The tapes from the Sexual Orthodoxy conference are now available from Canon. And, don’t forget, they are still in the midst of another crazy sale. The other night I went through the list of what they are selling, and there are some good deals going down. Don’t say I didn’t tell you about it. Don’t …
Great is Diana of Grand Rapids!
The board of Calvin College has instructed the faculty there that they are required to refrain from promoting sodomy. The first thing to note is that I was astonished that somebody associated with Calvin actually took a stand on something like this. But there you go. Let’s pray the board holds out. The second thing …
And Medals Struck
A quick election take, if I may. First, the best news of the evening was that the voters of Maine rejected homosexual marriage. This brings the total to 31 states that have done so, albeit with varying degrees of enthusiasm. Whenever homosexual marriage is put up for a popular vote, down it goes, no exceptions …
A Vine-Laden Discussion
Here are my notes from a discussion we had yesterday at the NSA grad student forum. As expected, the discussion with Peter there answered most of these questions — the only place where a disagreement simpliciter occurs is in my third point below, on the nature of typology. So here are my notes, and sorry …
Good News, Really
The new article on the front page of the new Credenda site is simply first rate. Entitled “How to Witness to Mormons,” it contains a great deal of gospel wisdom beyond the narrow focus of the title. Let me commend this one to you as a keeper.
The Spiritual Drive Train
This might be the medieval equivalent of an urban legend, I don’t know. I read it somewhere, but can’t recall the source, but here goes anyhow. Somebody, Thomas Aquinas maybe, was being shown around some opulent palace by the pope. “You see, Thomas, no longer can Peter say ‘silver and gold have I none.'” To …
Whacking Us Good
I have some bad news and some good news. The bad news is that the House of Representatives now has before it that Humongoid Health Bill, and there is a prospect of that thing actually passing, and so the time has come for us to consider the possibility that God is trying to whack us …
Getting Hateblotched
Now that I have been hateblotched (and not for the first time), Gary DeMar sent a note of congrats and encouragement. He too has been hateblotched in the past, and he too had something to say about it. Those who would like to know what the SPLC game plan is, here are a few articles …
Gravitron Fairies
One of the more obvious things about doing television gigs is the compression of time. Everything has to be discussed in soundbytes and bumpersticker aphorisms. Five minutes is a long time, and twenty minutes stretches out in front of you like a highway in Montana. All the folks we dealt with were very kind, and …
