Who’s Afraid of Postmodernism? – James K.A. Smith

Last updated on: July 9, 2007 at 5:57 pm By Tim Suttle

Here’s a quick review of a really good book called Who’s Afraid of Postmodernism? by James K.A. Smith I have long believed that some of the primary misconceptions regarding the emerging church conversation stem from a substantial lack of appreciation for the impact that French Philosophical/Linguistic thought has had on the movement as a whole. Those attempting to understand this conversation often default to caricature or reductionist views (i.e., candles, couches & culture) and one of the reasons is the... Read more

Paul among the Postliberals by Douglas Harink

Last updated on: June 25, 2007 at 11:48 am By Tim Suttle

A quick review of one of the most interesting books I’ve read in awhile. In his book Paul among the Postliberals, Douglas Harink challenges the overly simplistic understanding of Paul’s writings which holds that he was chiefly concerned with justification as matter of personal salvation through faith in Christ. He critiques the traditional translation issues with the rendering of Paul’s words as “faith in Jesus Christ” opting for “the faith of Jesus Christ” for grammatical reasons, but more importantly because...

The Gospel in a Pluralist Society

Last updated on: June 15, 2007 at 6:04 pm By Tim Suttle

by Lesslie Newbigin This is just a quick review of one of the best books I’ve encountered in years. Possibly the foremost thing I could say about Lesslie Newbigin is that he is a gifted writer with an amazing intellect and a gift for covering a wide range of issues with a remarkable economy of words. The Gospel in a Pluralist Society is not a long book, but it is concentrated with theological, philosophical and cultural reflection. His positions seem... Read more

Fuzzy Theology

Last updated on: June 2, 2007 at 10:40 pm By Tim Suttle

Once while I was traveling in a van full of mendicants through North Carolina I had what can only be described as a once in a lifetime experience. We were on the interstate somewhere between Winston-Salem and Greensboro looking for a turn-off to find some little camp in the High-Point area. It was the middle of the night, had to be two or three in the morning. We were hoping to get close enough to our destination that we could... Read more

Even Evangelical Teens Do It

Last updated on: May 31, 2007 at 6:47 am By Tim Suttle

This “Slate” article by Hanna Rosin is pretty wild. She writes that of “Teenagers who identify as “evangelical” or “born again” …80 percent think sex should be saved for marriage. But thinking is not the same as doing. Evangelical teens are actually more likely to have lost their virginity than either mainline Protestants or Catholics. They tend to lose their virginity at a slightly younger age—16.3, compared with 16.7 for the other two faiths. And they are much more likely... Read more

Crash

Last updated on: May 14, 2007 at 7:14 pm By Tim Suttle

I have a friend who is going to jail. Actually he’s likely going to prison but he’s in jail right now. I took him there last Thursday afternoon. It’s an awkward thing to drop someone off at the jailhouse so they can be locked away behind layers and layers of bars and doors. Especially because dropping someone off at the jail means one has to drive away and go back to living life. Self-conscious and sweating we drove around the... Read more

Moltmann Wins With 80%

Which Theologian Are You?find out at quiz farm So I ran across this quiz online that will tell you which theologian you most resemble. I have to tell you, I was a little bit disturbed to see that I’m 40% Calvin. But knowing that being like Calvin doesn’t necessarily make you like a Calvinist seems to offer some comfort in a time like this. And luckily, he’s still near the bottom. Perhaps more disturbing is the Anslem thing up there... Read more

Time to Pray

Last updated on: March 28, 2007 at 7:32 am By Tim Suttle

Praying for Paula I’m pissed. I have a friend named Paula, actually she’s a great friend of my wife. Here’s her story. I’m telling you because I want you to join me in praying for her. Paula was working at a Habitat for Humanity site as a volunteer one Saturday morning a long time ago, when a group of friends from my old church (Lakeland Community Church in Lee’s Summit), were there helping as well. She struck up a conversation... Read more

Into Great Silence

Last updated on: March 27, 2007 at 8:42 am By Tim Suttle

Into Great Silence a film by Philip Groning Into Great Silence is in theatres. Anyone interested in the monastic life has probably already heard about this movie. I have not yet seen it but I’ve been reading about it for a few weeks now. There is a great article on it in the Kansas City Star. They did a review as well. Essentially the film was shot by Philip Groning. He moved into a monastery in France and lived there... Read more

School of Thought

Schools of Thought, Ultimate Concern & Intellectual Snobbery Amazingly enough, Kansas State basketball is looking up under our new coach. That’s fun because K-State is my school. We actually have a legitimate shot at the NCAA tournament, which has not been even a remote possibility for the past decade. It probably won’t happen but…Go Cats! I was enjoying their win this weekend and thinking how folks who went to college generally have great affection for their school. I love K-State... Read more
