Theology That Bites Back
Revoice: Keep hammering away on the Revoice Conference. You are one of the few that are publicly opposing it. Please keep doing so. Michael Michael, thanks and will do. Though thankfully, there are others, and more coming. Enjoyed (?) your humorous use of the metaphor of the birth of sin. (It is especially appropriate since …
“On matters of gross injustice in the production of my dinner, I quite agree with the principle. In other words, if I knew a restaurant in town with the best-tasting steak got those fantastic results by flogging its cooks out back, cheating its wholesalers, double-crossing the waitresses on the tips, and sending representatives out to …
Introduction: One of the best things about the Revoice conference is that it is making us work through some issues that we manifestly need to work through. This does not make the Revoice conference a good thing, most certainly not, but the Revoice conference presents us with a good occasion to state the straight alongside …
Joel McDurmon has responded here to my earlier critique of his response to Tim Bayly, which can be read here. I am currently on the road, and don’t have a lot of time to respond. But I would like to say just a couple of basic things, things that I believe lie right at the …
If you missed it in my earlier post, here is a long collection of quotes from some of the participants in the upcoming Revoice conference. I have two follow-up comments to make with regard to the controversy (as it now stands). I am sure that I will have more to say as this serpent continues …

Introduction: So the Revoice conference continues to be a thing that Christians differ about. But before everyone rushes to the “agree to disagree” mode that we all know and love so well, let me sketch the nature of this basic disagreement. Some Christians think that obvious things are obvious, while other Christians think that obvious …
Goldbergian Thoughts: On Goldberg: Not surprisingly, this is perhaps one of the more engaging and edge-of-the-seat kind of reading I’ve ever laid eyes upon. Throughout your critique, I see your love and respect for the man while taking him—kindly—behind the woodshed, not for a beating—the kind which I most certainly would have given—but for a …
Introduction: As I have said on more than one occasion, Jonah Goldberg is one of my favorite writers and commentators.

At the same time, it really is time …
