Almost Lovecraftian in the DCU

Last updated on: March 10, 2024 at 2:43 pm By Coyle Neal

Given what the DC world has done with Batman and the Joker’s relationship (reason and order vs the impulse to chaos), it makes sense that someone would attempt a crossover with the Lovecraft mythos. And in fact that has been done with The Doom that Came to Gotham, directed by Sam Liu (there’s also a graphic novel by Mike Mignola that I’ve not read–though I’ll be rectifying that in the new future). And for what it’s worth, this is a pretty... Read more

Finally, a good Dune adaptation!

The headline is of course a touch unfair. The Sci-Fi channel version of Dune was respectable enough. But the David Lynch Dune is best left unmentioned–so bad that fans of the novel twist themselves into knots trying to find ways to like it. (The fact that it was the only game in town for almost two decades went a long ways to towards bringing people into its camp.) And let me go ahead and insert my standard position on the novel here and get... Read more

Leading the Flock

What is being a pastor? Is it more like being a teacher? Is it more like being a statesman? Is it more like being a psychologist? Is it some combination of the above? Or something else entire? The world is full of books about how to preach, and full of books about how to lead, R. Scott Pace and Jim Shaddix have published a little book that attempts to tie these two things together and clearly articulate the function of... Read more

Memorizing the Bible

Last updated on: February 21, 2024 at 5:55 pm By Coyle Neal

Every once in a while we come across a book that is convicting, challenging, obviously correct in its every claim, and yet will probably have no measurable impact on my day-to-day life. Neil Postman’s Amusing ourselves to death was one such book for me. Now Andrew Davis’s How to Memorize Scripture for Life: From one verse to entire books may very well be another. Look, I know I should be memorizing God’s Word. It’s a clear command. It’s good for me. It’s... Read more

Chrysostom on John and Hebrews

Last updated on: February 13, 2024 at 8:12 am By Coyle Neal

After several years of effort, I’ve finally wrapped up the final volume of the First Series of the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, John Chrysostom’s Homilies on the Gospel of St. John and Hebrews. As with the other books in this series, this one is excellent. While I don’t always agree with Chrysostom’s exegesis, his pastoral concerns and crisply aimed at the lives and hearts of his congregation. “I may without knowing it be treating you for one disease while you are...

The shape of things to come

As I opened the blank page to write a review of Andre Naselli’s short book Predestination: An Introduction (part of the excellent “short studies in systematic theology” series from Crossway), I turned off the audiobook version of Senator John Danforth’s book Faith in Politics. I just happened–though Naselli would be quick to point out that it is definitely not by chance–to be listening to Danforth recount his visit to Cambodia in the wake of the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge. Starving and dying... Read more

The fall and rise of Mike Cosper

Last updated on: January 30, 2024 at 8:28 am By Coyle Neal

0 Comments

In the summer of 2021, Evangelicals across America tuned in to Christianity Today’s podcast “The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill.” (You can listen to a discussion about it here.) Now the host, Mike Cosper, has released a new book called Land of My Sojourn: The Landscape of a Faith Lost and Found. Land of my Sojourn is made up of three parts loosely woven together. The first is a memoir of Cosper’s time founding a church (“Sojourn”) in Louisville, and how he... Read more

Reaching for Vengeance

I’ve said on this blog in the past that both of the Reacher movies and Season 1 of the Reacher show are excellent, and worth your time. The same is true of Reacher, Season 2. In Season 2, we get a peek behind the scenes at Reacher, kind-of. That is, we get a picture of his past and his military unit, who were tasked with doing exactly what we’ve seen Reacher himself doing in Season 1 of the series: fighting bad guys (albeit more...

1602 is a good year that falls flat

Last updated on: January 14, 2024 at 2:50 pm By Coyle Neal

Neil Gaiman’s 1602 is a clever idea, well-written (as we should expect from Gaiman), and generally faithful to both sets of its source material. If you’ve not heard of it (either because you don’t follow graphic novels or because this came out almost two decades ago), this is basically the story of the colonization of America with the Puritans dropped out and superheroes put in their place. And again, this is faithful to both sources its drawing on. The Marvel characters are... Read more

I’m late to the Super Mario Bros Movie bandwagon, but I’m glad I jumped on it when I did. Granted, I don’t have the same fond memories of the game that a lot of people do (largely having been confined to playing it at friends’/cousins’ houses, at least until the emulator boom of the 21st century came along). And the earlier movie is best left unmentioned. That said, this movie is very, very, well done. Even without the nostalgia factor on my... Read more
