Is Genesis 1-2 Poetry? A Bloggable Thought from the Bible Faculty Summit
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Bible Faculty Summit (here's their brand new website, made last night real late and not quite complete...), held this year at Baptist Bible College in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania. Here's just one bloggable thought coming out of the...
Classic Fish
Forget Van Til—the secret of his unreadability is out: he actually wrote in Dutch but used English letters! No wonder no one can understand the guy! It's time you got your presuppositionalism the easy and fun way: Stanley Fish. Read this, it's astounding.

Carl Trueman at His Best
Carl Trueman on the use of natural law in today's public square: Today’s world is becoming a colder, harder place. Even so, we have ongoing civic responsibilities. Shaped by our faith, we too can speak to those in power. We must remind them of their responsibilities...
An Amish Romance Reader’s Dream
I'm underwhelmed. Amazon's Oyster-like subscription service appears to me to be a repackaging of the odd amalgamation of books already in the Kindle Owner's Lending Library. The Religion & Spirituality category is indeed chock full of Amish romance—and hundreds of...
