Bible Faculty Leadership Summit

This week I'm going to be at the Bible Faculty Leadership Summit—held right here at Bob Jones Seminary!

Is Google Making Us Stupid? Makes the New York Times

The New York Times has devoted a four-web-page article to the question, "Online, R U Really Reading?" Con The Con side is represented by Dana Gioia of the National Endowment for the Arts, a onetime American poet laureate who has already made it into my mental quotation file twice: "Poetry is the art of using words charged with their utmost meaning." "Aesthetic pleasure needs no justification, because a life without such pleasure is one not worth living." Gioia says of online reading: “What we...
