Paradise Restored
Topic: WtTS Stuff

Reading: Tripp Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands
Enjoying: Christmas candies
Listening: R. Scott Clark's CrossTalk

Well, we're back in sunny SoCal after a wonderful vacationing in siberia Minnesota. Actually, it wasn't that bad; the weather in MN was quite balmy all things considered, and when we finally did get snow on New Year's Eve, it only made the winter wonderland more beautiful. But we gave thanks for good weather and safe travels, along with another year and the Christ child.

We'll have tons of pix to put up over at the Thunder Photo Album, including some of our recently released Firebellied Frogs.

I was excited to finally be able to get my hands on a copy of Covenant, Justification, and Pastoral Ministry, a monograph I have been ranting about and salivating over for a long time now. Now the book hasn't been out that long, and already its promoting strong reactions. For several positive reactions, keep your eyes glued to The Heidelblog for many of the positive reviews and blurbs. However, another book has already been planned, A Faith That Is Never Alone, as a critical response to the book. Further comments on the book:
The Center for Cultural Leadership announces it will be publishing a symposium in response to Covenant, Justification, and Pastoral Ministry: Essays by the Faculty of Westminster Seminary California, P & R Publishing Company, edited by Scott Clark. The provisional title of our symposium is A Faith That Is Never Alone: A Response to the Faculty of Westminster Seminary California, edited by P. Andrew Sandlin. Contributors include John H. Armstrong, John M. Frame, Don Garlington, Mark Horne, P. Andrew Sandlin, and Norman Shepherd.
Obviously, this is going to present some challenges. I find the authorship of the responding monograph somewhat troubling, but I look forward to seeing what the actual arguments are. Ligon Duncan has already responded, and I'm sure this will manage to produce far more writing flurries.

Has Duncan responded or has he merely "responded."

:)

Sorry, I don't have anything brilliant to say, but I came across the title for your page and I had to stop by and leave a comment. TS Eliot is my favorite poet, so I guess I was just inspired by the Waste Land reference.

Peace,
Becca

My family and I are boycotting this blog. Being that my wedding was the center focus of your break I would expect to see/hear a little more about it. As it is, there is next to nothing and that hurts us.

Yes. :)

I've been intrigued by some of your latest posts. You interact with a lot of my past training. While we may reach different conclusions from the same evidence, I have a lot of appreciation for a lot of what you are trying to do. Its an honor to have you stop by.

I love Eliot too. Sorry I don't have anything by him right now up, but search back through the archives and you'll find some commentary on his poetry, some reflections, and the odd podcast or two. Thanks for stopping by.

Shut yer hole. I noticed that no pictures of that hot, sexy scripture reader made your blog. Figures as much. When are we going to see a post dealing with "the tally count?"

Transplanted from the artic blight of Minnesota to the sunny paradise of SoCal, I am attending school and learning to say "dude." I like to think of myself as equal parts surf rash, Batman, heavy metal, Levinas, poetic license, and reformational. Other than creating blund blogs, I enjoy reading, sporting, and socializing with serious and funny people.

How does Rowling and the "Harry Potter" series stack up against Tolkien and "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy?
Rowling is the new dreamweaver. She is reigniting literature and fantasy as we know it.
Tolkien is the undisputed favorite. We have not yet seen a match for his philogistic skill.
This is apples and oranges. You might as well compare ping pong with Halo. Two different animals.
Rowling wins, but only by one quidditch goal.
Tolkien still stands, but only barely.
