Welcome to Paperback Theology

Last updated on: July 5, 2012 at 12:36 pm By Tim Suttle

Welcome to Paperback Theology. If you have been part of the Paperback Theology world before, I’m glad you found your way to the new site. I couldn’t be more excited about joining forces with Patheos in order to try and increase readership and extend the Paperback Theology conversation to new people. Allow me to express my gratitude to the folks at Patheos for taking me on board. I’m counting on all of the Paperback Theology faithful to continue to comment... Read more

Monday Morning Confessional: I make my confession – come make yours.

Last updated on: July 4, 2012 at 10:35 am By Tim Suttle

I confess that I’m very late in writing the Monday Morning Confessional this week. I confess that I’ve been very lax about blogging lately because I’ve been focusing on a writing project, and some behind the scene developments with Paperback Theology – both of which have taken up all of my spare time. I hope to have some news about that soon. I confess that I’m sad to hear that Andy Griffith has died – I loved the Andy Griffith... Read more

Rage, Rage, Against the Dying of the Light

Do not go gentle into that good nightBy Dylan ThomasOld age should burn and rage at close of day;Rage, rage against the dying of the light.Though wise men at their end know dark is right,Because their words had forked no lightning theyDo not go gentle into that good night.Good men, the last wave by, crying how brightTheir frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,Rage, rage against the dying of the light.Wild men who caught and sang the sun...

Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: June 25, 2012 at 7:15 am By Tim Suttle

I confess that I’m struggling with a writing project right now, and feel like I’m spinning my wheels. I confess that I’m gripping because I need it to be really good, and right now it’s not good at all – not even close. I confess that I’m sitting at my desk watching an Olathe Police officer pull people over again. This is the 3rd morning in the past week he’s been here and I think I’ve finally figured out his game. His... Read more

Nobody Takes the Bible Literally – Even Literal Biblicists

Last updated on: June 22, 2012 at 7:21 am By Tim Suttle

At Redemption Church we’re finishing up a series this Sunday on how we read the bible. It’s been a really fun conversation to have this year, and is something we try to come back to every year at the beginning of the summer. What is the bible? How did it come to be? What is it meant to do to us? How do we read and interpret the bible? How does the bible exercise authority over the church? There are... Read more

Journalism is Dying: Why Aaron Sorkin Picked the News Media for His First HBO Series

Last updated on: June 20, 2012 at 8:30 am By Tim Suttle

I accept the premise that a free press is essential to a healthy society in the modern world. Not just free though. The press must also be conscientious, ethical, fair minded, committed to the process, values, and mission of journalism over and against profit motive and political ideology. In other words, journalism needs to be impartial again, and its not – not by a long shot. Journalism is dying. Journalism is dying because it has an agenda, and it is not... Read more

Bill Moyers Video Clip: Why American Elections are No Longer Fair and Free – The Stunning Consequences of Citizen’s United

Last updated on: June 19, 2012 at 7:06 am By Tim Suttle

My hat is off to Clara Jeffrey and Monika Bauerlein, who are some of the only journalists who are really on top of the changes that are happening in the American political world in regard to what they call Dark Money. Dark Money is the mountain of unregulated, undisclosed money flowing into the electoral process right now. There is no federal oversight on where the money is coming from, who is behind it, and it is not being measured or... Read more

Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: June 18, 2012 at 9:22 am By Tim Suttle

I confess that I’m a terrible procrastinator, and that I’ve been this way as long as I can remember. I once heard a leadership guru say that you should never make a decision before you have to, that you should always give events as much time as possible to unfold before choosing a course of action. I confess that I have taken this as permission to put things off that I should probably do now (yeah, backyard deck that needs... Read more
