Recommendation and Review: Lord, Save Us From Your Followers
As documentaries go, I’m sure that Dan Merchant’s Lord, Save Us From Your Followers (LSU) could be critiqued in more than a couple of areas, but as tool to break up the logjam that is bad evangelical thinking on the culture war, it’s incredible. Lord, Save Us From Your Followers is more than must-see evangelicalContinue reading “Recommendation and Review: Lord, Save Us From Your Followers”
The Theology Program: New Classes Start Tuesday
Regular IM readers know that I’ve promoted Michael Patton’s ministry at The Theology Program. It’s the finest seminary level educational opportunity I know of and easily accessible in several differing formats. Online classes are the best way to experience The Theology Program, and four online classes are set to begin this Tuesday. You still haveContinue reading “The Theology Program: New Classes Start Tuesday”
The Question is God; the Answer is Jesus
Anything that one imagines of God apart from Christ is only useless thinking and vain idolatry. – Martin Luther * * * It’s been a very interesting day. I can’t tell you much about it, but I can tell you something. When a discussion starts about God, the Christian is not faced with theContinue reading “The Question is God; the Answer is Jesus”
A Time To Run Away and Look Back: Frank Schaeffer’s Calvin Becker Trilogy Considered
UPDATE: Here’s my review of Crazy For God. I’ve been reading quite a few novels and autobiographies. Some of you need to shut off the theology and read something else. Maybe read Calvin’s Institutes for a year or something. That was joke. Anyway… I just finished Frank Schaeffer’s Calvin Becker Trilogy. (I talked about themContinue reading “A Time To Run Away and Look Back: Frank Schaeffer’s Calvin Becker Trilogy Considered”
Recommendation and Review: Faith and Culture Devotional by Kelly Monroe Kullberg and Lael Arrington
Yes, end of the year is book review time. I have several headed your way before December ends. I generally do not review books that I don’t like. If I don’t like them, I won’t have much to say about them. If I like them, I’ll say so and tell you why. My problem isContinue reading “Recommendation and Review: Faith and Culture Devotional by Kelly Monroe Kullberg and Lael Arrington”
Recommendation and Review: NLT Bible Study Guides, , Chronological Bible and “Live” Teen Bible (and a bit of venting about special packaging of the Bible for teenagers)
I’ve reviewed and endorsed the New Living Translation Study Bible, and I continue to use it with real appreciation. I’ve been a fan of the NLT ever since Noel Heikkinen convinced me to give the second revision of the translation a more serious look. I now use it a great deal in preaching and worship,Continue reading “Recommendation and Review: NLT Bible Study Guides, , Chronological Bible and “Live” Teen Bible (and a bit of venting about special packaging of the Bible for teenagers)”

More Links and News: A New Sponsor and Bill Kinnon Unedited
We have a new sponsor here at IM, Zaccheus Press. Zaccheus is a small publisher of books by Catholic authors. Their emphasis is on high quality books by authors with real insight into spiritual formation in the Catholic tradition. But the featured book right now is an amazing memoir of ministry by a Catholic priestContinue reading “More Links and News: A New Sponsor and Bill Kinnon Unedited”
Recommended: Wicker and Duin on The End of Evangelicalism
I have a few words about two books that should be of interest to the IM audience. I heard Julia Duin, author of Quitting Church, on The White Horse Inn last week. Her interview was interesting, so I ordered her book and a book she recommended, The Fall of the Evangelical Nation by Christine Wicker.Continue reading “Recommended: Wicker and Duin on The End of Evangelicalism”
