benefit of the doubt?
The Gospel Coalition posted my review of Greg Boyd’s book, Benefit of the Doubt. Boyd’s book came out a month before my Despite Doubt, and it illustrates the main problem I aimed to correct.

Adam and Madam
Tonight our class will discuss Zondervan’s new, Four Views on the Historical Adam. As with Five Views on Biblical Inerrancy, this is an important book. Here is a quick run down. Dennis Lamoureux says he believes in biblical inerrancy but not a historical Adam (63). He argues that God was merely intending to communicate theological…

paypal purgatory
Just overheard my 15 year old son talking to an eBay operator: “So is it possible to give my new email address to my old account so I can use the alternate email that is there to generate a new account that I can then use to delete the email addresses from the two accounts…

your body
Here’s my latest for Our Daily Journey. I’m turning it in tomorrow, so if you see something say something. Thanks! I like to write out my thoughts before I type them, and I’ve learned that my brain works best with a good pen. When I grab an old pen that rolls roughly across the…

you don’t bring me flowers
That didn’t take long. We seem to be on the cusp of the next big moral debate: Does a person who believes gay marriage is a moral evil have the moral and legal right and/or responsibility not to participate in that moral evil? Is a florist who respectfully declines to arrange flowers for a gay…
