N.T. Wright on Blogging: A Christian Ethic

Posted by Matt Jones on Sunday, April 25, 2010. Filed under Blogging,Religion,Social Commentary,Theology.

I’ve finally had the chance to start reading Justification: God’s Plan & Paul’s Vision, N.T. Wright‘s response to critics of The New Perspective on Paul with specific discussion of Piper’s The Future of Justification: A Response to N. T. Wright. I’m sure I will have comments about the book at a later time (I do [...]

On Censoring and Double Standards

Posted by Matt Jones on Saturday, April 24, 2010. Filed under Around the World,Religion,Social Commentary.

Posted by Matt Jones on Friday, June 22, 2007. Filed under Religion,Social Commentary.

Fairly recently The Stranger put out a piece titled A Month of Sundays wherein 31 reporters (and I do use the term somewhat loosely) took to the streets of the Seattle metro area to attend 31 different churches of various flavors.

A Bold Plan From Bill Whittle

Posted by Matt Jones on Tuesday, May 22, 2007. Filed under Social Commentary.

Bill Whittle is an amazing essayist. If you have never read him before, go read everything you can, perhaps even buy his book (a compilation of his essays), over at Eject! Eject! Eject! You will be well served to read and ponder what he has to say. I write this post in response to his [...]
