While I’m moving my more speculative posts over to the Christian Humanist Blog, I will continue to update my own Sunday School Resources and Teen Ministry pages here. I invite anyone who would like to look at them to use the resources, free of charge, so long as you let me know how they’ve served [...]
So for a while there I was a Conservative Reformed Mafia consigliere, and I’m still officially (though not productively, and I’m sorry, linda and Andrew and Joe) a writer over at i wonder as i wander, and now I’m embarking on a new group blog venture. Starting on Monday, I’m going to be posting my [...]
I’ll admit that Bart Ehrman is more likely to get a yawn than a cheer or a jeer from me; I’ve been aware of the Jesus Seminar and N.T. Wright’s engagement with them for long enough that, when Ehrman became a talk-TV celebrity, I could pretty much anticipate his lines before he delivered them. Nonetheless, Mike Morell [...]
When I was a junior in college, I was Resident Assistant for the mighty and noble third floor of Webb Hall, a place where youth group kids came to become Milligan men. In that time, one of the many fine people I came to call friend was Phil Rutledge, now a seminary student at Christian [...]
RSS Feed Show Notes Christian Humanist Podcast Home Page (NEW) I had my bit on the apocalyptic vision thought out far more smoothly than I delivered it in today’s episode, but Michial’s and David’s brilliance more than make up for my incoherence.
Howdy, readers and listeners. We had originally moved the recording session for the Christian Humanist Podcast to today because MLK Day had altered Emmanuel’s schedule. Now, with a monster storm passing over the home of CHP host and engineer Michial Farmer, we decided to get him off of the computer and reschedule for tomorrow morning. [...]
Revised Common Lectionary Page for 24 January 2010 Nehemiah 8:1-3, 5-6, 8-10 Psalm 19 1 Corinthians 12:12-31a Luke 4:14-21 This week’s readings are a lovely array of meta-Scriptures: a Gospel reading about Jesus reading the Scriptures, a Pauline passage about living together as God’s people, a Psalm about reading the Scriptures, and an Old Testament [...]
Best thing about tonight’s game: Chargers lost. Second best thing: Chargers kept shooting themselves in the foot by penalties incurred after the play was over. Being a jerk sometimes doesn’t pay, it turns out. Third best thing: Mark Sanchez, who was possibly the most badmouthed player in last summer’s draft, is now standing tall among [...]
Show Notes RSS Feed Today’s episode engaged some fairly technical questions of theological method as well as our more customary interdisciplinary wares, and the stretch was a fun one. I think we set forth (at the very least) some interesting takes on some big Christian questions today, and the episode ought to be worth a [...]
Vanderbilt’s Lectionary Page for 17 January 2010 Isaiah 62:1-5 Psalm 36:5-10 1 Corinthians 12:1-11 John 2:1-11 I’ve read some twentieth-century feminist Biblical scholarship, and some of it is quite helpful to keep me mindful of my own assumptions and sometimes my own ideology when I read the Bible. I don’t always come away from such [...]
Alright… here’s the Indiana segment of the trip. Don’t get confused: this part happened before the Pennsylvania part of the trip. Just think of these posts the way you would recent seasons of Lost. Christmas Trip 2009 Indiana Segment
Yes, we’ve been back almost a week, and no, I haven’t put up pictures yet. I’m going to go in reverse order on this, starting with the Pennsylvania days of our Christmas travels. Enjoy Christmas Trip 2009 Pennsylvania Segment
I don’t know that I’ll do this every week, but one thing that I’m going to try to do more this year is write about the Bible, and I figure one way to do that is to write about the lectionary readings for the week. My reflections will not be polished sermons in their own [...]
