The Hole In Our Gospel: Reviewed
My latest book as a Thomas Nelson book reviewer was The Hole In Our Gospel by Richard Stearns. Stearns is the president of WorldVision and this book outlines both how he came to find himself president of this magnificent non-profit and how it has changed him (transformed might be a better signifier).
It starts with [...]

Christianity in Crisis: Reviewed
One advantage of being a blogger is occasionally being sent books to read for free. It’s always nice to get the package in the mail and open it up and find some new tome to check out.
My latest experience with this is the book, “Christianity in Chrisis: 21st Century” by Hank Hanegraaff. I [...]

GloboChrist:Reviewed
While in Vegas, I did find the time to start and/or finish three different books. The best of those three is actually the third book in the Church and Postmodern Culture series called GloboChrist: The Great Commission Takes a Postmodern Turn. It is the best short book on missiology I’ve read since Transforming [...]

Batman: Year One — Reviewed
I’ve had numerous people over the past year or so tell me how much they thought I’d enjoy the Batman graphic novels. I thought about trying to read some last summer but didn’t know where to start. This past spring, though, I figured that out: Batman: Year One, Batman: A Long Halloween and [...]

Jesus for President:Idolatry Today
Getting back to [Jesus for President][1] seems prudent, for a post at least, particularly as I’ve thought quite a bit lately about justice in our time. I’m not actually going to talk about that here (perhaps tomorrow); instead, I’m going to continue to explore more from my favorite section of the book: section 3 [...]

The Coming of the Son of Man, pt iii
To continue exploring the eschatology in [The Coming of the Son of Man][1], I’ll next look at the narrative in Daniel. Specifically, I’ll be looking at the second portion of Daniel which is a description of three visions.
The first vision comes from Daniel 7. In it, four beasts are described as ascending from [...]

The Coming of the Son of Man, pt ii
I posted briefly yesterday that I have been reading a book called [The Coming of the Son of Man][1]. I decided that I’d go ahead and put my notes and thoughts down in text to help sort things out. So…this post will start things off with the setup of the book.
[The Coming of [...]

The Coming of the Son of Man, pt 1
I’m about 3/4 of the way through a book called [The Coming of the Son of Man][1] by a fellow by the name of Andrew Perriman (the editor of [opensourcetheology.net][2]). It’s subtitle is *New Testament Eschatology for an Emerging Church* and it’s essentially the authors reading of the apocalyptic language of Jesus, Paul and [...]

The Coming of the Son of Man
I’m excited because I just got this book in the mail: [The Coming of the Son of Man][1] by Andrew Perriman. It’s a look at eschatology for an emerging church (according to the sub-title). Should be a good read.

Jesus for President, Temptation of Jesus (part 1)
This past Tuesday I re-watched Pan’s Labyrinth with a special young lady who had never seen it. Besides forgetting how violent it is, one part jumped out at me: the fascist captain rationing food for the villagers. Now you wouldn’t necessarily think that something that would spring out at you, but in this [...]
