I’d like to announce a conference in London for all our European readers — and for those who have the funds to fly off to London for what looks like a fantastic conference. It’s called Christian Fundamentalism and British Evangelicalism: Exploring the Relationship. Here’s a brief clip from the website: The Evangelicalism and Fundamentalism in…

Every now and then I wander over to Steve McCoy’s photographs, and I just love this one:   Kris and I are in New Orleans at my annual academic meetings, but we found some links this week before we left … No more burgers for me! (HT: Laura) iMonk — back at it, this time…

Rob Bell, in an interview with Burnside Writers, suggests sermons could get better if they got shorter… Any response? BWC: You’ve already explored the “high content, low word count” concept with your book Drops Like Stars, and it’s clearly a big concern to you at the moment. What inspired this “endless evolution” you’re referring to?…

In this series on a Third Way approach to preaching and the teaching ministry of the local church, I have suggested that we need to de-focus from the sermon being the be-all and end-all of education, and I have also argued that we need to develop an outcome based model. That is, all teaching in…

I apologize that the comments were turned off on this post this morning … not sure how that happened, but it did. On the plane yesterday the man sitting with us told us he was “raised Jewish” but that he went to a college where he had to take some Christianity, so he’s got some…

Nightline’s series on the Ten Commandments moves to the 8th Commandment: “Thou shalt not steal.” The commandment, or more properly prohibition, is general enough in Exodus 20:15 to include both kidnapping and swiping what belongs to others. According to the experts, the 8th Commandment included the notion of stealth.  Clearly, there is a sense of…

Paul now gets a vision to enter into Greece for missional work, and this means he enters into what we today call Europe. While it is popular to make a big deal of this, it was all the Roman Empire at that time. Paul enters because of a vision about a man from Macedonia (pictured).…

Over the next couple of weeks or so I would like to look at two books, not new but fairly recent, that think through some ideas on body and soul. The first is by Kevin Corcoran, Rethinking Human Nature: A Christian Materialist Alternative to the Soul where he develops a constitution view of human persons. …

Here are our big questions in this series of posts: How do we move beyond the Bible? Should we? Better yet: Since we have to, how do we move beyond the Bible into our world but do this biblically? This is the concern of Zondervan’s new Counterpoint book edited by Gary Meadors: Four Views on…

All is well, but Kris recently went through her annual mammogram, the discovery of a change from last year with development of a cluster of microcalcifications, another mammogram and a consultation, and then a biopsy and a consultation with the radiologist to be given a clean bill of health. Whew! As her husband, the days…
