The little things are nice, but they’re not enough

Last updated on: March 5, 2018 at 3:19 pm   By Coyle Neal

I don’t know if I should be glad that Crossing to Safety is the first Wallace Stegner novel I’ve read–because of course how could I know that? It’s the first one I’ve read. Maybe all of the rest of them are inferior; maybe they’re all vastly superior. In any case, I am glad that I read it. It’s an excellent book and you should all read it too. There are a lot of different views of the good life to choose from.... Read more

A Message to the Modern Church

Last updated on: March 1, 2018 at 2:03 pm   By Coyle Neal

Jodocus van Lodenstein had two things going for him: 1) a Harry Potter-esque name that no doubt hipster parents will shortly be rediscovering; 2) a desire to see true revival sweep through the Netherlands in the 17th century. This desire pours out of the nine sermons collected in A Spiritual Appeal to Christ’s Bride. This book is a part of the “Classics of Reformed Spirituality” series. As noted in an earlier blog post, the goal of this series is “the publication and... Read more

Theology, Ethics, and Doctrine Still Matter

Last updated on: February 19, 2018 at 8:37 pm   By Coyle Neal

I’ve blocked out roughly twenty years of my life (give or take, and should the Lord keep me here that long) to reading the roughly 40 volume set of Church Fathers. I do not recommend this. I mean, I recommend reading the Church Fathers. For all their failings (and there are many of them–as there are with any generation) they are mostly devout examples of holding fast to the inspiration and authority of Scripture under some of the most difficult... Read more

Reflections on Badgers

Last updated on: February 14, 2018 at 2:14 pm   By Coyle Neal

As I’m continuing to read through the Redwall series, Mossflower, Mattimeo, Mariel of Redwall, and Salamandastron all drive home themes raised in the first books: good guys like/create delicious food; bad guys don’t eat; there’s always more than one villain–one of which is often more of a force of nature than an actual bad guy; the heroes have to go somewhere to get a sword; the solution to the problems of the present is found in the past; there’s nothing particularly religious about Redwall... Read more
