The Burial of Jesus: Deconstructing and Reconstructing

Last updated on: March 14, 2012 at 4:43 pm By Sam Alexander

I tire of the modernist propensity to deconstruct the biblical narrative, reducing it to a pile of superstitious stories about a deity who does magic tricks, and “plays god” with creation. I tire of it and so I was grateful to have read to the end of Dr. McGrath’s book, The Burial of Jesus; What Does History Have To Do with Faith?. Grateful because, after Dr. McGrath did a credible job of deconstructing the fantasies he understands Christians of a... Read more

A Too Balanced Way for American Christians?

Last updated on: March 19, 2012 at 11:43 am By Roger Wolsey

I have a lot of respect for Ron Sider. I’ve been a fan of him and his writings for years. He’s the kind of Christian who truly “gets it.” He understands and articulates the biblically prophetic call for Jesus’ followers to give a damn about the well-being of others. He conveys Jesus’ passion for loving our neighbors and he works well as a bridge between generally conservative evangelicals and generally liberal mainline Protestants. Sider’s latest book, Fixing the Moral Deficit:... Read more

Last updated on: March 7, 2012 at 12:20 pm By Chuck Gutenson

Those of us who are supposed to be united under the Lordship of Christ will find ourselves divided by partisan loyalties, and those outside the church will once again roll their eyes and wonder why we so easily allow our politics to trump our theology. Read more

Perfect Love Casts Out Fear: Reflections on “Hijacked”

Last updated on: March 5, 2012 at 11:28 am By Sam Alexander

I love evangelicals. You all drive me crazy, but I love you. I’m liberal – in fact I left liberal in the dust so long ago I’ve forgotten what it looks like. But as I read Hijacked, a new book by Methodist pastors Mike Slaughter and Charles Gutenson on responding to partisan politics in the church, I felt a glimmer of hope rising within me. You see, I’m concerned that the church is dying. A lot of mainline Christians and virtually all... Read more
