Theology That Bites Back
In the spirit of No Quarter November, there will be no qualifications, or explanations. But the season does not exclude retractions and/or apologies, and so that is what this should be filed under. An email blast went out from Canon Press that was advertising our family series of books, and there were some really unfortunate …
I need to make a couple of corrections on things that I know I have said or written over the years, but am not exactly sure where and when. The first has to do with The Webster Bible, one put together by the great American lexicographer, Noah Webster. Many years ago, I had read somewhere …
Important correction: In a couple of responses to the Meet the Press segment, I responded to a comment by Brandy Sullivan on how our candidates were roundly defeated in the last couple of city council elections.

Last Monday I wrote about Minneapolis Burning, and I need to add an additional qualifier to what I said there. The article got a lot of traction, and there was one section in it which was a frequently cited pull quote — which is where the qualification needs to be made. This is what I …
Introduction: Within the last few weeks, Scott Clark circulated a quote from Southern Slavery as It Was, and then Anthony Bradley retweeted it. As a consequence, that whole business got chased around the ...
