In this morning’s issue of The New York Times, Neela Banerjee reports a story which literally hits close to home when it tells the tale of a young evangelical man in Raleigh, NC. Peculiarly enough, this man is also openly gay. Her article in full can be read here.
The subject of the story, Justin [...]

While writing a paper today, I stumbled across a fantastic website for those who wish to imbibe on intellectual trivia. The name of the site is AskOxford.com, and it is operated by Oxford University Press. Essentially it is a search engine of classic Oxford University Press reference works, such as the Oxford Concise English Dictionary. [...]
Thoughts on "The Nativity Story"
Posted in Uncategorized on December 1, 2006 | No Comments »
In today’s issue of The New York Times, A.O. Scott remarks:
It’s best to think of “The Nativity Story” as a Hollywood version of the kind of Christmas production some of the “Peanuts” kids put on in “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” This is not meant as a criticism. Quite the contrary.

As admitted in an earlier post, I am currently reading John Stott’s Between Two Worlds. In the context of discussing the preacher’s call to study both the Bible and the culture, he quotes Bishop Phillips Brooks, who says:

If you have been around PCA or RUF circles, you have most likely been exposed to the music of Indelible Grace. Indelible Grace is a band who focuses on matching historical Christian hymns with contemporary musical arrangements, thus re-introducing the Christian church to the theological richness of our past. One such hymn that has been [...]

Today I began reading John Stott’s excellent book, Between Two Worlds. Stott, writing in 1982, has proved himself to be a most accurate prophet when he made a prediction about human relationships and technology by the year 2000. He writes:
It is difficult to imagine the world in the year A.D. 2000, by which time versatile [...]

If you have managed to find your way to this blog, then you’ve been informed about the re-formation of my former blog, The Indigent Intern. My goal in this is to recast the blog into one which focuses on ecclesiastical, theological, and cultural matters rather than simply my day-to-day rantings about the evil children [...]

Dan Savage, writing an op-ed piece about Ted Haggard for The New York Times, makes a statement that reveals much about our culture’s understanding of morality when he writes:
“A callboy can’t expose your secret without exposing his own. There’s still a stigma attached to selling sex.So why did Mike Jones speak out?Because today it is [...]
Baptists and Redemptive History
Posted in Uncategorized on November 6, 2006 | 1 Comment »
Virtually every theologian agrees that theology is best hammered out in community. Therefore, this post is an official invitation for my Baptist and my Reformed friends to question, debate, and comment upon a very complicated theological question.
The diagram above is, from what I most clearly understand, a visual representation of the flow of redemptive history [...]
