Jesus Creed

Monday we begin a series on Roger Olson’s new book, Reformed and Always Reforming. I promise to interact with this book a little more, not because I disagree but because he’s sketching stuff I am seeing too. When I was in college Harold Lindsell wrote his famous book about the Bible and set off a…

Chicago runner last Friday: We’ve been gone for the week; we got home late last night; not as many links as I’d like. Sorry.

Klyne Snodgrass, in Stories with Intent, turns to a chp on “parables of lostness” and it begins with the parable of the lost sheep.

Dear Scot, Thank you for your support and insight?and thank you for sharing your blog with me/us.

The “true remedy” of James Madison, the one that sought for an amiable relationship between religion and government, has recently been nearly demolished. That problem Os Guinness, in The Case for Civility, calls “the broken settlement.” A fascinating chp, one that again walks hand in hand at times with our own theological wars.
