Keeping up the trend of posting when I buy new things...
Michelle Obama drew headlines a while back when she said that "for 'the first time' in her adult life, 'she was proud of America.'" Well, now I think I know the sentiment.
We got our new ESV Study Bible in the mail a few days ago. It's basically the normal English Standard Version, but with TONS of footnotes, maps, cross-references, artistic renderings of buildings and cities, short articles on historical backgrounds, etc. It's jam-packed. It would be wrong of me to say there isn't anything evangelical I'm grateful for, but it has to be admitted that sites like purgatorio and LarkNews wouldn't exist if there wasn't buckets of tripe, shysters, canoodlers, and miscreants in the mix.
I'm excited about this too:
Hitchens/Wilson sneak peak from LEVEL4 on Vimeo.
UPDATE: My wife had no idea what the above video was in reference to. Douglas Wilson (Christian pastor and general skylarker) and Christopher Hitchens (latest atheist with a British accent) did an on-line debate hosted by Christianity Today called Is Christianity Good for the World? They ended up writing a book together (not sure if it's just the debate republished or not). To promote the book, they did a number of appearances together over the past week or so. It sounds like they got along really well. This post is in reference to the video.
That movie looks sweet...
ReplyDeleteIt does look sweet. I'm also glad their book/debate tour was NYC/Philly/Washingon D.C. and not Orlando/Wheaton/Colorado Springs.
