Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: April 23, 2012 at 7:22 am By Tim Suttle

I confess that I took another pass at triaging my Amazon gift card dilemma. I’m still gripping, but I feel like there’s some significant internal progress being made. I confess that my top five is finally down to seven so it might be getting close to time to order: 1) Bethge’s biography of Bonhoeffer 2) I Thou – Buber 3) After Virtue – McIntyre 4) The Talmud 5) Hauerwas’s book on Bonhoeffer 6) Bonhoeffer’s Works vol. 7 7) Bonhoeffer’s Works...

Earth Day 2012 – Why Christians are Obligated to Care for the Earth

Last updated on: April 22, 2012 at 6:05 am By Tim Suttle

Today is Earth Day – or as most evangelicals call it – Sunday. Part of the baggage that was imported into evangelicalism through dispensationalism is a low view of creation. It’s going to burn anyway, so why care about the earth, right? Wrong… here’s an excerpt from An Evangelical Social Gospel? (a great Earth Day gift – btw), which alludes to our responsibility to care for the earth. Happy Earth Day! “This relational view of the image of God finds great... Read more

Christians Debate: Was Jesus For Small Government?

Last updated on: April 20, 2012 at 7:40 am By Tim Suttle

NPR did an interesting story asking whether Jesus would be for bigger or smaller government. Scot McKnight responded with five really important principles to remember during this conversation. What is the discussion about, really? SIDE ONE: The government cannot fix our social problems, because that is not the government’s role. The best way to care for the poor is through churches that are involved in mission. The US government has gotten so big and bloated that the tax burden it places on... Read more

Money Isn’t Speech. Corporations Are Not People. R’s & D’s are both in the wrong.

Last updated on: April 19, 2012 at 10:30 am By Tim Suttle

These are two great videos, I’m so glad I took the time to watch them. The middle class is shrinking while (alliteration alert), capital, cash, and control continues to concentrate in the hands of corporations which do not care about the common good. This point is made clear in these two short clips from Jon Stewart on the Daily Show – this part wasn’t on the broadcast, but is only on the internet. We cannot simply blame Democrats, or blame...

Brent Strawn’s Earle Lectures in Biblical Literature, Part 2

Last updated on: April 18, 2012 at 8:54 am By Tim Suttle

LECTURE 02 – Signs of Morbidity The analogy Strawn is making is that the Old Testament is like a language, so it can be learned and spoken or forgotten and die. The way in which the OT is dying can be tracked much in the same way linguists might track the death of a once vital language. Strawn uses a couple of linguistic terms very effectively. Pidgin: When two separate language groups come together (often for commerce), they must find... Read more
