Worth a Look 2.8.10
There has been an interesting discussion going on between Vern Poythress and John Walton regarding Walton’s book, The Lost World of Genesis One. Poythress critiqued the book in World. Here is John Walton’s response to Poythress’ critique. For an overview of Walton’s proposal, you can check out my review of his book here.
In case you missed the Tim Tebow Superbowl ad… here’s the clip. (Why anyone thought this ad was remotely controversial is beyond me!) Sally Jenkins, a pro-choice feminist, says the controversy over the ad is because NOW is pro-abortion, not really pro-choice:
Tebow’s ad, by the way, never mentions abortion; like the player himself, it’s apparently soft-spoken. It simply has the theme “Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life.” This is what NOW has labeled “extraordinarily offensive and demeaning.” But if there is any demeaning here, it’s coming from NOW, via the suggestion that these aren’t real questions, and that we as a Super Bowl audience are too stupid or too disinterested to handle them on game day.
Russell Moore on why he is now caffeine-free:
Because I wasn’t mindful of how much caffeine I was consuming, I also wasn’t mindful of what it was doing. A little bit of lots of things are beneficial: a little bit of sleep, a little bit of work, a little bit of meat. But there are consequences that come with too much or too little of almost anything, consequences that ought to keep us on balance.
Several reviews for Holy Subversion came out last week. I’m grateful to the bloggers who have read and reviewed the book so far:
- Tony Kummer did a brief video review and is offering a way to win 5 copies.
- The Boston Bible Geeks posted a review of the book here.
- Jon Seger also posted a review of the book.
