Our daughter Hannah has resurrected her old “True Confessions” blog as a children’s literature review blog. Hannah has always had an interest in children’s books since…well, since she was a child! In the years since then she studied children’s literature in college and has read more kid’s books than are probably in most town libraries. [...]

OK, I know I’ve been on a bit of an evangelical feminist kick here lately. I promise you, though, after reading John Stackhouse’s Finally Feminist last weekend, I went out and split a face cord of firewood. I even spit a few times.
Over the past few days, Rick Phillips has been posting his views on [...]

I have this love/hate relationship with the Reformation21 blog…have you noticed? Sometimes it infuriates me…and then it turns right around and challenges me in ways that deeply move me toward Christ and his Cross.

Bill, who studied under Dr. Kline at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, has a set [...]

My friend Mel is guest-hosting on her blog a piece written by Susan Wise Bauer in response to Rev. Rick Phillips recent comments on the Reformation21 blog (see links and discussion here).

My Internet friend, RTS student and blogger Stephen Wedgeworth, has posted a couple of fascinating quotations from N. T. Wright’s article in the recent volume Justification in Perspective: Historical Developments and Contemporary Challenges.
The first has to do with how he arrived at conclusions similar to those now associated with the so called New Perspectives on [...]

I will not vouch for the accuracy of this quiz (probably too few questions to be really accurate), but in my case it probably nailed me:

What American accent do you have?

In the most recent issue of Books & Culture (both print and online), author and home school guru Susan Wise Bauer takes the opportunity of her review of John Stackhouse’s book Finally Feminist to respond to the sharp and sometimes alarmist criticisms that erupted across the Internet after she let out on her blog that [...]
