Book Review: The Sword
Monday, May 31st, 2010The way Crossway described the book got me: Fiction yet theology, future yet Medieval. They said it was a book for men with a strong male lead. Plus there are swords. I pegged this as one of my summer reads right away. I have had thoughts for a review since about page 4 and I’ll [...]
Review: The Vine and the Trellis
Thursday, February 4th, 2010A few weeks ago I received and immediately read The Trellis and the Vine by Colin Marshall and Tony Payne. There has been some excitement in the Reformed blogosphere (is it still okay to use that word? ‘Blogosphere’? ’cause I still am) that I thought I should give it a shot. The snapshot answer is [...]
Commentary on a Commentary
Monday, November 16th, 2009I recently received volume 3 (Kings, Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther) of the newly released Zondervan Illustrated Bible Backgrounds Commentary of the Old Testament (ZIBBCOT) to review. The volume was shipped to me for free from Zondervan and I want to assure you that that fact will not in any way impact my review. Nor [...]
Don’t Stop Believing Blog Tour
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009Instead of trying to create a new post on Michael Wittmer’s Don’t Stop Believing for the blog tour, I’ll provide a link to my original post. There were some good comments worth reading too.
More Than a Song by Journey
Monday, March 9th, 2009Andrew has a couple of great comments on some posts and asked a good question. I figure his question deserves a post instead of another comment. He wanted to hear more about Michael Wittmer’s Don’t Stop Believing and made some points about Postmodernism vs. Modernism. So, Andrew, here ya go. Wittmer identifies himself as a [...]
Feb 09 Reading Report
Sunday, February 1st, 2009Read last month: Don’t Stop Believing: Why Living Like Jesus Is Not Enough, Michael Wittmer -What an enjoyable book this was! Wittmer writes like I hope I will. He covered topics that postmodern innovators (his name for Emergent folks) question or deny. The only chapter I didn’t like was the one on hell but other [...]
Jan 09 Reading Report
Saturday, January 3rd, 2009Getting Things Done, David Allen – I want to be more productive. I think I’m pretty much on top of it, but feel like that could turn if I get one more thing added. This should help. Don’t Stop Believing: Why Living Like Jesus Is Not Enough, Michael Wittmer – Got it for Christmas (thanks [...]

This Just In!
Friday, August 17th, 2007It is the one great weakness of journalism as a picture of our modern existence, that it must be a picture made up entirely of exceptions. We announce on flaring posters that a man has fallen off a scaffolding. We do not announce on flaring posters that a man has not fallen off a scaffolding. [...]
Hey!
Tuesday, August 14th, 2007Can you believe it! A bunch of strong Biblical scholars went and stole the title of my blog post and turned it into a book! Kidding aside, this looks like the kind of treatment of the subject that I think is needed. Some good authors were involved and I think an edited volume with multiple [...]
