100 Days to Go

Last updated on: July 29, 2012 at 2:29 pm By Wyndy Corbin Reuschling

“100 Days to Go” was one of the main articles in the Sunday edition of the Cleveland paper, The Plain Dealer. 100 days to go before the November election, which those of us fortunate enough to live in the swing state of Ohio are reminded of about a b’zillion times each time the TV is on. We seemed to have moved past overt debates on the legitimacy of the religious faith of each candidate, whether it is Gov. Romney’s Mormon... Read more

Jonathan Merritt, the SBC, and the Culture Wars: What’s Next?

Last updated on: July 27, 2012 at 4:34 pm By Kyle Roberts

Something has exploded on the blogosphere — and I have a feeling it’s only getting started. Jonathan Merritt, a young, up-and-coming Christian author and online columnist (and son of a prominent SBC pastor / former SBC president), has been “outed.” After publishing a column in which he declared his intention to continue to patronize Chic-fil-A –– despite the calls for protests — it caught the attention of gay, former evangelical blogger, Azariah Southworth. The column, you might say, was a... Read more

Summer Theology Reading Suggestions

Last updated on: July 26, 2012 at 8:59 am By Kyle Roberts

I’m going to jump into the on-going topic (see Daniel Harrell’s posts in this blog) of “summer reading.” Summer is quickly slipping away, it seems, but there’s enough time to get some quality reading done. I’m going to suggest just three books that I think are well-worth your time and money (depending on your interests, of course). I’d love for others of you to include other recommendations in the comment section. 1. Christianity After Religion, by Diana Butler Bass. This... Read more

Summer Reading Take Two

Last updated on: July 17, 2012 at 9:32 am By Daniel Harrell

Over at a friend’s house the other night, the conversation kept going back to high school as if that was the high peak of people’s lives even as they’ve moved into middle age. What is it about those experiences of youth—the fleeting moments of adventure and love and excitement (or at least as we remember them) that haunt us as we get older? Julian Barnes in his best-seller, The Sense of an Ending, let’s us explore this reality through the eyes of... Read more

Art and Culture, or Politics by Other Means—Evangelical Style

Last updated on: August 12, 2012 at 6:24 pm By Daniel A. Siedell

Justified by Use Lutheran theologian Oswald Bayer reminds us that in An Essay on Human Understanding, John Locke argues that “person” is a “forensic term.” The need to justify one’s existence to one’s self and to others, to gain and maintain recognition, is the foundation of the human condition under the sun. In this transactional, leveraged, economy, we are what we do, we give in order to receive, and we use others as means to our ends, enlisting them, often... Read more

Another shooting…..what’s a Christian to do?

Last updated on: July 23, 2012 at 9:02 am By Wyndy Corbin Reuschling

Here we go again. Another shooting and the very low expectation that we will have serious conversations about the role which guns have in our culture. The “talking heads” on the various news programs acknowledge that this recent event of the shootings at the movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, will unlikely produce any substantive conversation about gun control, especially military assault rifles, like just one of the guns used by the shooter in Aurora. The political will is just not... Read more

Why do Artists Cry?

Last updated on: July 19, 2012 at 5:03 pm By Kyle Roberts

This is a guest post by Steph Roberts, an artist and art professor in Chicago. She also happens to be my sister. For more information on her and her work (with samples) go here Why do Artists Cry? It’s a bit awkward losing one’s composure in an art museum. The hushed, reserved, brightly lit galleries of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts may seem an unlikely place to see someone wiping away tears in a gush of emotion. It was opening day... Read more

Summer Reading

Last updated on: July 18, 2012 at 4:54 pm By Daniel Harrell

In a cabin on a lovely little lake (one of ten thousand) just outsidethe Boundary Waters Wilderness Canoe Area in northern Minnesota, it’s only appropriate that I would be reading the reflections of Sigurd Olson, who according to Wikipedia, was “an American author, an environmentalist, and advocate for the protection of wilderness. For more than thirty years, he served as a wilderness guide in the lakes and forests of the Quetico-Superior country of northern Minnesota and northwestern Ontario. He was known honorifically as the Bourgeois — a term the voyageurs of old used of their... Read more

A Buffalo ’66 Theology of Culture

Last updated on: July 18, 2012 at 6:36 pm By Daniel A. Siedell

We live in a bipolar and schizophrenic culture. On one hand it is extremely crude and licentious and on the other, excruciatingly puritanical and legalistic. A robust and mature Christian cultural witness recognizes that this is two sides of the same coin, and thus resists the temptation to reduce the radicality of the gospel into “Christian virtues” that are then applied to artistic and other cultural practices in an effort to regulate and maintain an aesthetic of public decency (i.e.,...
