It's always fun watching Philistia get down and personal with the likes of Hawking. In a robust style, The Economist took Hawking's atheistic stance to task and all we could do was watch and smile. See here . And on the same note (though Jerusalem rather than Philistia), Hawking's arguments were,...

A friend of Reformation 21has brought to my attention a super Christian search engine, geared, I would guess, to selecting sites that represent a Christian world and life view (well, one, some, or maybe even all of such). You'll find it here . Type in `Democratic Party' and you'll find that, like a...

You might be interested in a BBC interview with Kevin Bidwell (church planting in Sheffield, England) as he tries to explain to a secular audience the subtle nuances of "presbyterianism" -- here . It's a lesson in counter-cultural apologetics. [Kevin's interview begins at the 1 hour 20 minute mark...

I appreciated Carl's call for generalists in the church. Made me think of Matt Might's "Illustrated Guide to a Ph.D": http://matt.might.net/articles/phd-school-in-pictures/

For all those politco-obsessives who have been devouring Tony Blair's naval-gazing memoirs, there's at least one shocker: Bono could have been a Prime Minister or President! See, here .

Further evidence of the erosion of a Christian worldview as the BBC and The Times recently announced "God did not create the Universe" -- aka Rupert Murdoch and Stephen Hawking (see here ). In response, our friend David Robertson of the Dundee/Centre for Public Christianity (CPC) has produced the...

Beware those who pretend to be shepherds but are really ravening wolves. CRT's expose of the defective theology of `Rush' comes not a moment too soon. It appears that Pelagianism is being promoted through rock music even in some allegedly sound places . And I read in The Globe that "they" now play...

Sunday evening, at one of our infrequent sessions with the interns (supper and Q and A), Ligon and myself were asked an interesting question, one which has remained with me: what does a preacher do when confronted by differing opinions about the exegesis of a particular text? I thought I'd put the...
