What's going to happen now that the internet has blown the old financial model which kept newspapers afloat for so long? An interesting essay by Clay Shirky suggests what I, too, think is the right answer: I don’t know. Nobody knows. We’re collectively living through...

Laissez-Faire Must Not Be Lazy but Must Strive to Promote Fairness
Hunter Baker, evangelical economist (with a new Crossway book coming out soon), made some helpful points in this little blog article. His main point is that conservatives shouldn't be so pro-capitalist that they overlook the effects of the Fall in the market. Here's...
R. C. Trench Vs. Lexicographical Prescriptivism (i.e., CONTROVERSY!)
I've finally gotten to a book I've had on my mental list ever since Dr. Randy Leedy, my Advanced Greek Grammar teacher, recommended it to his class some years ago: Dictionaries: The Art and Craft of Lexicography. Sidney Landau is so far weaving a fascinating account...
The Kindle Has Arrived—Carrying Technopolistic Questions!
My Kindle arrived today! It's very cool. I hope to liberate a lot of texts on my hard drive that I'm not reading. But I've been reading Neil Postman's Technopoly , and these lines struck me: "Every technology is both a burden and a blessing…. Technology giveth and...
DeYoung, Restless, and Reformed
The quote below hit me. May God help us all to come out of this technological age knowing the Bible better than blogs. Are we experts in Scripture first? It's quite possible to be well-versed in Van Til's apologetics, Calvin's third use of the law, and David Well's...

Tim Keller MP3s
A friend e-mailed after my post yesterday recommending Tim Keller's The Reason for God . He suggested I provide a link to Keller MP3s on the Internet. I have not listened to even the majority of these recently collected Keller resources, but if you want to start...
The Reason for Buying Keller
I began listening to Tim Keller MP3s at the recommendation of a friend a few years ago. He never fails to stimulate and challenge me. (And he's a real wit.) As I heard him give wise point after incisive comment about evangelism, I knew I had to buy whatever book he...
14º
I write today to commemorate the cold outside today in Greenville. 14º when I walked to work. I could barely read J. P. Louw's article on NT lexicography in this book, the air was blasting me so forcefully. It is too cold for sentient life. I did see some freshmen...
