Wednesday Links: Craig, Plantinga, Groothuis on Atheism and a little bit of Postmodernism

Last month’s issue of Christianity Today and Books & Culture had some interesting articles on atheism, naturalism, and the resurgence of theism in academic philosophy. Lots of good deep reading.

William Lane Craig kicks things off with a lengthy article entitled God Is Not Dead Yet making a play on an old TIME magazine cover [...]

Monday Links: Science, Philosophy, Lincoln, Douglas, and my #1 B-Day Song

Calvin College has a cool series of lectures by some big names on the relationship between science and religion. Check it out.
——————————–
In light of Peter’s review of Team of Rivals I checked out Lincoln and Douglas: The Debates that Defined America by Allen C. Guelzo. The book is a bit tedious to read, [...]

Friday Links: Batman, Greg Boyd, and Blogging Profs

Yesterday I saw Batman: The Dark Knight, and it lived up to all the hype. It is really good. Heath Ledger’s performance is haunting and truly scary. NPR had a segment on the cultural phenomenon of the Joker that commented on the difficult nature of the role and the trials Ledger faced when portraying the [...]

Thursday Links: Frontline, Bush’s War, Voodoo Iraq and Black Hawk Down

In the past week I have watched six hours of Frontline documentaries and finished the book Black Hawk Down, which has helped to thoroughly envelope me in the complex world of American foreign policy military culture. I’m still processing a lot of it, but when has that ever stopped me? Let’s shoot from the hip. [...]

Tuesday Links: Christians & Sex, D’Souza, the free-market, and the Confederates

I think I like this link thing. Easy writing and little work. Let’s roll:
Out of Ur has some commentary on the bizarre “church as sex therapist” phenomenon that is sweeping through evangelicalism. Pop ministry is increasingly interested in promoting the “life you’ve always wanted (in bed)” and some of the applications are a bit [...]

Monday Links

Since this blog has been reduced to pointing out links, I think I will make this a regular feature. Don’t count on it, though. Let’s roll!
The former atheist philosopher Antony Flew responds to Richard Dawkins and his book The God Delusion. He writes, “The fault of Dawkins as an academic (which he still was [...]

Gas Mileage Calculator

Since gas prices are up (and will continue to go up) these days I, like most people, have become rather conscientious of how efficient my vehicle is. For a long time I never really knew what my 93 Toyota Pick Up got to the gallon, and assumed it was somewhere between 22 and 24. It [...]

NASCAR Thunder

An actual painting by Thomas Kinkade…

Links and Goodies

Good music has been in short supply this summer, but that was until I discovered Mark Mathis. I hope that Christian music continues to go this direction. The folk/country sound is more conducive to thoughtful lyrics and good storytelling than chorus driven rock N’ roll. The former allows theological insight to be woven intelligently through [...]

These Pictures Actually Did Make Laugh
