…curious and motivated to see what these two have written, hoping to see an example of a path to bring the two sides of the creation-evolution disagreement together. The book is arranged as a dialogue. Wood and Falk write alternate chapters, each providing their point of view on an aspect of their relationship, their personal histories, and their views of the question of origins. Rob Barrett, who serves as the moderator of the public events, ties t…

…ove, and they will have some control over making the change happen and overcoming the hindrances. The authors provide some specific steps for overcoming barriers to change: set realistic and achievable goals with small incremental steps, have group support and check-ins, learn from past successes, and welcome outside encouragement. A constantly available tool for the instructor at each step is the word “yet”: “You may not be getting it right…yet”…

Mindful Love of God

…munities of a relatively small subset of history, the broad themes of my research ask much larger questions: how do the stories we tell define us as a community? How do we depict and describe those who look different and act differently from us? How do we join together across gender lines to join in the common work of humanity? The Belgic Confession helped me to see that in asking such questions in light of my Christian faith, I was not just pursu…

Fictional Saints: A Review of The Scandal of Holiness

…ss serious book choices. Some of the works suggested seem pretty heavy and complicated, and as a systematic theologian, I read heavy and complicated books, albeit non-fiction, as a substantial part of my work. When I find time to read fiction, it feels like an indulgence—a luxury of sorts. I also find, much like Wilson suggests, that it often feeds my soul, which in turn helps me feed the souls of my students. But I do wonder what she would think…

The grand jury in this case had an option of…

Beyond Modesty

…sexual availability is not Paul’s concern in this passage. Such exegetical questions aside, sexual availability is one of the many things clothing communicates. (Others would include things such as race, gender, class, religion, occupation, etc.). And therefore, given the broader sexual ethic of the Bible, one is right to conclude that Christians (both men and women) need to consider the sexual values their dress communicates. But is that enough?…

C.S. Lewis on Politics and the Natural Law Review

…till, I couldn’t help but wonder if more light might not have been shed by comparing Lewis to examples of such a pragmatic liberalism as it appeared in early Protestant political thought. It is curious, for instance, that Dyer and Watson note earlier in the book the importance of Richard Hooker as an influence on Lewis’s Protestant natural-law theory, but do not consider the ways in which his political thought—poised midway between Aquinas and Loc…

What’s the Point?: A Review of Ungrading

…“How did you do on the test?” and “what did you learn ?” are two different questions with different postures toward learning. Grades as we know them (A/B/C/D/F, 4.0 GPA, etc.) are a newcomer to education (considering that we’ve been doing education for all of human history). It’s difficult to track down the exact origins but letter grades appear to have originated in the United States in 1897 (7) and the pressures and connectedness by the Industri…

What does it look like in other countries today? How has the label “ev…

The defining document of this communion is the Accra Confession, which was born in 2004 in Accra, Ghana, and which argues from Scripture that God desires all of creation to flourish and thrive. Yet, as one looks at the world, it is clear that there are many who do not have the opportunity…

While he insists that “we cannot say that gender complementarity, in and of itself, grounded in common sense biology, is the heart of the church’s historic (“mere”) teaching on sexuality”, I do not see him reference scriptural or historic church teachings showing that complementarity is not assumed to be the heart of sexuality. Like gravity, it is assumed by authors and left unstated. When Rodriguez’ asks “can we ground o…

I had become convinced that imagination was a missing piece in both Christian witness and faith formation. Unfortunately, beyond reading C.S.

In short, we feel freer to pursue our callings in life. As a result, we are starting to encourage our family and friends to consider minimalism and have the following advice for how to introduce…
