Remembering William Jennings Bryan

Last updated on: November 13, 2010 at 11:10 am By emilyu

I’ve been watching the PBS television series “God in America” on Apple TV. It’s a history of religion in America told in six one-hour segments, beginning with the Massachusetts Bay colony and ending with Obama. If you haven’t seen it, I’d recommend it highly – it’s very well done and I learned a lot. One of the segments devotes some time to William Jennings Bryan and the Scopes Trial. I have a lot of respect for William Jennings Bryan, in... Read more

Encultured prophets and the firmament: Peter Enns continued

Last updated on: November 9, 2010 at 6:35 pm By benspackman

In my last post (and hinted at in the one before that), I raised the idea that prophets tend to share the worldviews and myths of their culture, with myth properly defined as something like “worldview expressed in narrative.” Their revelations are by necessity received and framed within that worldview. In other words, prophets in different times and places would understand the world differently, though they may share some revealed knowledge of the Gospel. Put very bluntly, some prophets in...

First the baby, then marriage

Last updated on: November 7, 2010 at 11:06 pm By emilyu

A friend of mine recently told me about some acquaintances of hers that just had their second child, but aren’t married because they don’t feel they can afford to get married. I thought it sounded crazy. If anything’s expensive, it’s having kids! (The babycenter.com calculator tells me it’ll cost over $300,000 to raise each of my kids.) Apparently this phenomenon is common. The 2010 U.S. census results are in, and for the first time there was a question on cohabitation.... Read more

House Beautiful

Last updated on: November 5, 2010 at 5:01 pm By erin

I used to be a bit of a neat freak. As a child, when it was time to clean my room, it always took 3 days because I started by reorganizing all the labeled boxes in my closet. I remember one weekend early in my marriage that my parents and siblings came to visit. In preparation for their arrival, I had carefully cleaned and tidied our small apartment. As they arrived, and removed their shoes, there was no good place... Read more

Scripture, History and Myth: A Perfect Modern Example from NPR!

Last updated on: November 2, 2010 at 3:26 pm By benspackman

We’re way past Genesis at this point, but like the poor, the issue of non-historical scripture will always be among us. Most people know of the genre of “parable” because they’re in the Gospels, but “myth” is very poorly understood and the term carries a lot of negative baggage. You have to be very careful throwing around the term. One simple definition of myth is that myth is worldview in narrative form. That is, it’s a way of explaining one’s ... Read more

Balancing tradition with faith and scholarship: a Mormon application of Peter Enns

Last updated on: October 29, 2010 at 7:02 am By benspackman

In my own struggles to balance faith and tradition with scholarship, I find it useful to see how others have done so, particularly when I see close structural parallels between the two traditions. Peter Enns speaks from a Protestant perspective but Protestants aren’t the sole source of useful insight. I’ve enjoyed Jewish perspectives more, explored in fictional narratives like The Chosen and The Promise. The tensions between traditional views and scholarship that Enns highlights among Protestants (and Evangelicals in particular)... Read more
