So, the word is out: On November 1, 325,000 copies of Anne Rice’s latest literary offering will be hitting the shelves. Big deal, right? Yes. When the main character is no longer a blood-sucking vampire but is, instead, the seven-year old, blood-shedding savior: Jesus Christ. (Listen to an audio excerpt…
Christianity Today Blogs and Bloggers
In the spirit of my PneumaBlogs page, I’ve added another compilation of blog links to official Christianity Today blogs, links to unofficial personal CTI blogs, and links to ex-employees and affiliated CTI blogs. I hope you enjoy it. This is not an official list, it is not approved my employer,…
My 15 minutes of limited fame…
I’m popular on the Web! Well, maybe I’m just popular on Garrick Van Buren’s website. Or, maybe I’m just popular on one podcast on one podcaster’s show coming out of a small home in Minnesota that is redolent of freshly roasted coffee. I had the pleasure of spending over an…

When sermons go awry, revisited
As I shared Blake Bergstrom’s “pitch his tents” experience with coworkers at Christianity Today (especially Preaching Today, where they got a big vicarious and empathetic kick out of it) I jokingly bemoaned the lack of well-known and well-salted preachers who had the grace to let their verbal gaffes get out…
When sermons go awry…
Okay, I wasn’t going to post merely frivolous stuff here, but this is far too precious to pass up. You who preach … well. If you gotta slip up, go big. Here’s a clip below of poor high school pastor Blake Bergstrom, who tried to work his way around a…

Spiritual formation is not discipleship
There’s an interesting interview just put out by my employer, Christianity Today International, that I think is worth reading. It’s an interview with Dallas Willard and Richard J. Foster conducted by Christianity Today associate editor Agnieszka Tennant: “The Making of the Christian: Richard J. Foster and Dallas Willard on the…
Flight 93, Crescent, Symbols, and Marshall McLuhan
There’s a flap heating up the newspapers and blogosphere about the winning design for the Flight 93 Memorial to be built near Shanksville, Pa. The skinny is that architect Paul Murdoch submitted a design, the “Crescent of Embrace,” which bears an uncanny resemblance to the Islamic red crescent as seen on…
Pneumablogs updated.
Hi. I’ve performed some major updates to the Pneumablogs page. I probably have too many personal journal-style blogs represented here, so over time some of the links may be dropping off. See, especially, my comments at the end of the page regarding “cat” blogs and “boss” blogs.
My quiz results: theology, theologian, and denomination
I took a few quizzes tonight, and I generously share the results with you, my Gentle Readers. I’m not sure what they really reveal about me. I worked as an opinion/market research interviewer for four years, and I know how very subtle changes in questions and their interpretation by the…
Hirsute pentepomollectual bloggers
Okay, I checked out all the blogs on my current list to see just how far-reaching my speculation went, regarding pentepomollectual (Pentecostal, postmodern, intellectuals) bloggers and their facial hair. Here’s the proof: Note: I searched vainly to find a lady blogger sporting chinhairs (you know you’re out there!), but, alas,…

Katrina, courage, faith, and tribes
Bill Whittle at “Eject! Eject! Eject!” has posted a brilliant, if sometimes crudely worded (R-Rated), post about the nature of white hats and black hats, pink and grey, or sheep, wolves, and sheep-dogs: TRIBES. It is a passionate, reasoned response to the aftermath of Katrina, the erosion of moral levees, and…
