Theology That Bites Back
Introduction:In her second chapter, Rachel Miller does say some good things, particularly about the tranny-nonsense. And in addition to that, she also says a number of unobjectionable things about how we ought to serve one another in our interdependence, which is exactly right, and how men and women ought to relate to one another as co-workers—“co-laborer ...
This morning I posted a review of one chapter of Rachel Miller’s book, and in a ships-passing-in-the-night kind of way, today she also posted a response to Mark Jones’ criticism of how she cited me. Still with me?In my post this morning, I alluded to the fact that she is not a reliable interpreter of my words, but I did not cite any specifics—I ...
Introduction:All right. So if we are to review this book properly, and with a requisite fairness of mind, we need to get one glaring thing addressed at the outset. And that is the fact that this whole thing appears to be personal. I did not know that when I started in on this book review, but I know it now. “A pastor in Idaho ...
Introduction: Consider this a small postscript on the ladybug post. Now some may want to say that the reason I review books by Rachel Miller or Aimee Byrd in the way I do is because I am threatened by women who write on anything other than quilting or scampi recipes. Now this would be a …
Introduction:So regular readers with good memory skills should be able to recall that I have tangled before with a woman named Rachel Green Miller a time or two. Or three. One example of that was when she subjected my wedding exhortations to something called quantitative analysis, which, I don’t know, sounds pretty scientificky. And another time ...
I don’t have a ton to say about this book, except to reassert just how much I admire Thomas Sowell. No one does a better job of puncturing the pretensions of those who believe economic realities are a matter of opinion. There are many who are peddle nonsensical nostrums in the name of what we …
A number of years ago, The American Spectator published an article by Anthony Codevilla called The Ruling Class. That article made quite a splash at the time, and then was reworked into a little book. I read it back then, and thought it really described the lay of the land well. This was all before …
Introduction: As I consider the next chapter of Eric Mason’s book, and look around at the dumpster fire news that is floating away on the crest of yet another flood, and with this happening on a day-to-day basis, it is hard to escape the conclusion that God is just messing with us. All of the …
The third chapter of Woke Church is really quite good, and therein lies a tale. I want to commend Eric Mason in this, and for two things. First, in my interaction a few years ago with Thabiti, I pressed the point that Scripture really does contain more than a few angular texts when it comes …
Joseph Heath and Andrew Potter are (I think) men of the left, and they write from within the Canadian cultural milieu, which can be its own kind of crazy, but they are both quite sensible and have written a fascinating analysis of the ethos of countercultural consumption. Their book is called Nation of Rebels, and …
