Becky Castle Miller, an expert on Bible study curricula for local churches and passionate about helping Christians to become more deeply devoted disciples, was offered by Zondervan to draft a Bible study curriculum that ties together my four-book collection from Zondervan: Blue Parakeet, King Jesus Gospel, One.Life, and A Fellowship of Differents.

My Pastor Was a Woman

Last updated on: May 30, 2019 at 3:39 pm By Scot McKnight

From CBE By Rachel Asproth On May 23, 2019 Two weeks ago, I learned that my beloved young church—planted in 2016—is dissolving. After a spirited three year-run, our pastor ran out of emotional gas and our church ran out of money and denominational support. Looking back, the signs were clear: consistent calls for more volunteers; repeated appeals for increased giving; and lots of prolonged meetings about church vision. I received an email the Monday after the decision was made, summing up... Read more

A Western Religion? (RJS)

Last updated on: May 27, 2019 at 5:47 pm By RJS

Doesn’t Christianity crush diversity? Isn’t it another example of Western imperialism? Rebecca McLaughlin, Confronting Christianity: 12 Hard Questions for the World’s Largest Religion, suggests that we’ve got it backwards. Christianity isn’t a Western religion at all. “Christianity dominated Europe for centuries. … But while Christianity held a monopoly on Western culture, Western culture never held a monopoly on Christianity.” (p. 34) Certainly Western Christianity has erred by ignoring other outposts – in Africa, India, Turkey etc. Christianity was first in...

America’s Gun Culture

Last updated on: May 26, 2019 at 9:05 am By Scot McKnight

A new book by a pastor, one who grew up (as I did) with guns for toys as a child and then owned a gun for hunting, Donald V. Gaffney is called Common Ground: Talking about Gun Violence in America. It’s a good place to begin a... Read more

Memorial Day Prayer for Peace

Last updated on: May 26, 2019 at 9:05 am By Scot McKnight

This is Mother Theresa’s version of the “St Francis” Prayer, and it can guide us as we remember those who have lost their lives in service to their country: Make us worthy Lord to serve others throughout the world, who live and die in poverty and hunger.
