Reviewing Pete Enns: Saving the Bible, but Losing God

Last updated on: August 30, 2019 at 9:20 pm By Scot McKnight

Part Two: On Revelation (Part One: On Wisdom), a two-part review Peter Enns’ new book, How the Bible Actually Works By Geoff Holsclaw, a pastor-theologian. Get his free How Did We Get the Bible? A Bad Reviewer? Cards on the table: I’m a pastor and a theologian by profession. I occupy two positions that make me suspicious to someone like Peter Enns, especially when reviewing a book. Not withstanding the gracious host of Jesus Creed, but many biblical scholars get... Read more

Almighty God, You Have Given

Last updated on: August 18, 2019 at 6:25 am By Scot McKnight

Almighty God, you have given your only Son to be for us a sacrifice for sin, and also an example of godly life: Give us grace to receive thankfully the fruits of his redeeming work, and to follow daily in the blessed steps of his most holy life; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.BCP Read more

Weekly Meanderings, 17 August 2019

Micro plastics cover the ocean: LONDON (Reuters) – Tiny pieces of plastic have been found in ice cores drilled in the Arctic by a U.S.-led team of scientists, underscoring the threat the growing form of pollution poses to marine life in even the remotest waters on the planet.

Prayer isn’t the Opposite of Action

Last updated on: August 16, 2019 at 5:42 am By Scot McKnight

By Mike Glenn The joke among my Baptist friends is when another Baptist says, “I’m praying for you,” it simply means they’re leaving. It doesn’t mean anything else. They’re probably not going to pray. They’re not going to do anything. They’re just leaving. This is what came to mind as I watched the protests after the mass shootings in Dayton and El Paso. Several of the speakers and marchers spoke to this directly. The protests went something like this: “Don’t... Read more

Creation Care (RJS)

Last updated on: August 14, 2019 at 10:17 pm By RJS

I am on vacation this week in the Minnesota north woods. My parents have had a place on a lake since I was 3 (early 1960’s) and I’ve been spending time here ever since. When I was young (i.e. until I left the state for graduate school) bald eagles and loons were unheard of on the lake (about due west of Duluth), although I did see loons further north in or near the Boundary Waters. Today loons are ubiquitous here... Read more

12 Habits of Writers

Last updated on: August 11, 2019 at 7:28 pm By Scot McKnight

By Rachel Toor — good habits: They reject the notion of “writer’s block” the way others shun gluten. They don’t overtalk their projects. [I’d say they don’t blog and FB and Tweet and Insta about their projects.] They believe in themselves and their work. They know that a lot of important stuff happens when they’re not “working.” They’re passionate about their projects. They know what they’re good at. They read a lot, and widely. They know how to finish a... Read more

Introductions to Put Pause on All Introductions

Last updated on: August 10, 2019 at 10:39 am By Scot McKnight

As someone who has written a few commentaries I can witness that the Introductions can be endless discussions, incorporating exegesis as well, and constant listings of scholars and their views … and the Introduction can easily take over. Let’s put it this way: some Introductions consume a hundred pages or more. Some have grown so wearied by the Introductions they put the “introduction” at the end of the commentary! There’s a way to put a big pause on such lengthy... Read more

A Green Bible? (RJS)

Last updated on: August 12, 2019 at 9:27 pm By RJS

The Bible isn’t “Green.” That is to say, it doesn’t directly address the environmental issues of our day. It does provide guidance however. Several years ago I posted on Iain Provan’s book Seriously Dangerous Religion including a post looking at the view of creation presented in the Old Testament. It is worth a new look before moving on to Moo and Moo on Creation Care: A Biblical Theology of the Natural World. A long title to this post could be ... Read more
