Exclusive peek at new poem

Last updated on: June 18, 2013 at 10:42 am By Kevin Miller

Yesterday while filming at a homeless camp in Abbotsford, I spent some time chatting with Nick Zurkowski (pictured), who has lived outdoors for quite some time. Nick told me a story about how this past winter he met a man named Tom Mackenzie who was passing through town but had begun to display the early signs of hypothermia. After Nick provided Tom with some warm clothing and food, they got to talking, and Nick found out Tom was a writer.... Read more

Way, way back when I was in college, I spent some time studying family systems therapy, which was developed by psychiatrist Murray Bowen beginning in the mid-1950s. In a nutshell, family systems therapy, or the Bowen Theory as it came to be called, is a theory of human behavior that views the family rather than the individual as the primary emotional unit. So when an individual “acts out” or manifests some sort of psychological or emotional disorder, rather than treat... Read more

Are we in bondage to a Book?

Last updated on: June 5, 2013 at 12:42 pm By Kevin Miller

In a recent email exchange with Orthodox Archbishop Lazar Puhalo, he expressed concerns about the recent situation in Turkey (to which the Archbishop is slated to travel this fall) as well as his take on the the root reason for the conflict–Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s surreptitious attempt to institute Islam. The Archbishop sees this as a form of religious violence that is repeating itself all over the world. I found his perspective rather interesting. He gave me permission to... Read more

This is not a pipe. (Or a painting of a pipe!)

Last updated on: June 5, 2013 at 11:33 am By Kevin Miller

Last weekend I had a wonderful time speaking and showing Hellbound? at Lendrum Mennonite Brethren Church in Edmonton, Alberta. While preparing a talk entitled Why What’s Clear to You Isn’t So Clear to Me, I came across the painting below by Belgian artist René Magritte. Called The Treachery of Images, I feel the painting is a perfect illustration of how often we confuse the map with the territory. Enjoy! (But remember: This isn’t the painting, it’s merely a digital representation... Read more

How to get on the right side of history

Last updated on: June 4, 2013 at 2:35 pm By Kevin Miller

A few years ago I made a serious attempt at becoming a day trader. Call it burnout, a midlife crisis or simply a desire to indulge a passion I’ve had since childhood, but I resolved to finally give it a go. So I did what I normally do when seeking to learn something new: I immersed myself in books, blogs, videos and all sorts of other resources to learn the ropes. I also signed up for a trading service–think of... Read more

A few thoughts on fundamentalism

Last updated on: May 29, 2013 at 8:28 pm By Kevin Miller

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about fundamentalism in preparation for an upcoming project I’d like to do on Rene Girard’s mimetic theory. As part of the development process, I’ve been doing a series of presentations to help me workshop the material. I’ve never approached a documentary project in this way before. However, I’m finding the opportunity to “test drive” the content with various groups tremendously fruitful. I’m keying in on the issue of fundamentalism, because I begin my presentation... Read more

New review of “Hellbound?” just in from The Numbers

Last updated on: May 27, 2013 at 8:55 pm By Kevin Miller

A brief excerpt: Kevin Miller is an incredibly lucky person. He releases a movie about Hell on DVD the same week the new Pope says even Atheists go to Heaven. The topic of the movie is suddenly incredibly relevant in the Christian faith. There are quite a wide variety of interviewees in the film, although I don’t think it is unfair to say some of them are given more weight than others. Granted, it is also not unfair that this...

I am the blood-drinking god

Last updated on: May 27, 2013 at 8:57 pm By Kevin Miller

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the positive response to my recent post Christ or antichrist? However, perhaps not so surprisingly, it has not gone without criticism. The central critique goes something like this: You criticize binary thinking, but the entire post is written within a binary framework–the Sacrificial god vs. the Self-sacrificing God. I admit it may appear that way on the surface, and it was something I was conscious of while writing the piece. However, as I allude toward... Read more
