Invictus the movie

Last updated on: January 6, 2010 at 9:11 am By Tim Suttle

I went to see Invictus the movie last night. It was a pretty amazing film. I was reminded how much I appreciate Clint Eastwood as a director. The first film he directed that I fell in love with was Pale Rider (1985). But I think he reached a new level with Mystic River (2003) and then Million Dollar Baby (2004). For an actor/director who made a name for himself as a kick-ass and take names later action-type hero, Eastwood has... Read more

Richard Rohr, Adam’s Return: The Five Promises of Male Initiation. New York, NY: Crossroads Publishing Company, 2004. . In Adam’s Return, Richard Rohr writes an interesting account of the way men are initiated into the life of the Christian church. Rohr spends a significant amount of his time working with men and those who lead men’s ministry. This book seems to pick up where the Wild at Heart (John Eldridge) philosophy leaves off. Rohr is not critical of the Wild... Read more

The Great Emergence Book Review

Last updated on: December 21, 2009 at 10:17 am By Tim Suttle

Phyllis Tickle, The Great Emergence: How Christianity is Changing and Why. Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Books, 2008. Phyllis Tickle says about every 500 years the church has a giant rummage sale. What she means is that every 500 hundred years or so, the church structures and strictures are formed into an intolerable chain which must be broken for the church to continue to be faithful to the gospel. She cites the Council of Chalcedon (451) as the beginning of one... Read more

Being Consumed Book Review

Last updated on: December 20, 2009 at 12:06 pm By Tim Suttle

William T. Cavanaugh, Being Consumed: Economics and Christian Desire. Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 2008 William Cavanaugh is, quite simply, brilliant. He’s a prolific writer. He’s one of the very best I’ve ever read in Political Theology and Social Ethics. Torture and Eucharist is one of the greatest works of Ecclesiology I’ve ever read. But for folks who are not theology geeks, he can be hard to read. Being Consumed fixes that. This short book is accessible to the masses but... Read more

Mount Righteous

Over the years I’ve struggled to maintain my status as music appreciator. It’s weird because I’ve played music as long as I can remember. I’ve written hundreds of songs, played in bands and even made my living as a musician for the better part of a decade. I usually like what I’m playing, but even my own stuff doesn’t really inspire me all of the time. It’s a rare thing when I get really excited about a band or musician.... Read more

Evil and the Justice of God Review

Last updated on: December 17, 2009 at 8:04 am By Tim Suttle

N.T. Wright. Evil and the Justice of God. Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 2006. . N.T. Wright tackles the problem of evil with his usual brilliance. He argues that evil is real and powerful. Evil is more than the sum of individual sin and cannot be understood in dualistic categories. By misunderstanding evil we have react to it in immature and unwise ways. He engages the Old Testament to show that Israel is, albeit ambiguously, God’s answer to evil –... Read more

Biblical Perspectives on Evangelism Review

Last updated on: December 14, 2009 at 7:41 am By Tim Suttle

Walter Brueggemann. Biblical Perspectives on Evangelism: Living in a Three-Storied Universe. Nashville, TN: Abingdon Press, 1993. Brueggemann’s vision for evangelism consists of helping people to switch narratives from the world of consumerism, individualism and violence to the narrative of the people of God. He proposes a simple schema and method for evangelism as this imaginative telling/re-telling of the story of God, applying it to several texts and audiences. The schema is: 1) the victory of Yahweh in the conflict between... Read more
