Bible Typography Manifesto Signatories, Rejoice
It's time you checked out the amazing new project called Bibliotheca. A full-fledged typography nerd and Bible-lover has put together a truly groundbreaking reader's edition of the Bible. It was all a little mind-boggling when I first heard (hence the time it's taken me to post): four separate volumes, opaque paper, a Kickstarter campaign, the ASV, two custom-designed typefaces, ragged-right type—a lot to process.

Under that accommodation, these women would still be entitled to all FDA-approved contraceptives without cost sharing....

I posted on this some time ago, but I have thought of it so often that I have to post it again: Wheaton prof Timothy Larsen's thoughts on why so many Christians feel that the teaching they received as children was simplistic. Very insightful, penetrating. A must-read for a generation of (often ex-) fundamentalists who are, I think, often a little too harsh on those who nurtured them. Our leaders from those days will have to give an account for their teaching and their actions, and I don't want...
