Some titles of books work, and some don’t. Jarrett Stevens’ new book, The Deity Formerly Known as God (Zondervan, 2006), is a title that works. I’ll post on this book twice. |inline

How do you know God’s will? Well, Mike Breaux — who is one of my favorite preachers — preached about this last weekend at Willow Creek and I think his points, even if not new, are spot-on: |inline
On one of the comments on my post response to Jordon Cooper, I was asked these questions by J-Marie: |inline
Mark Noll and Caroyln Nystrom’s book, Is the Reformation Over?, with this post is now over for the immediate future. Without getting into every chp, and there were some good chps left, I do want to offer what I see as a fundamental problem with the book: |inline
Here’s the question I propose to you regarding Noll and Nystrom’s book, Is the Reformation Over?: How significant are ecumenical dialogues for (1) the RC Church as a whole and (2) for lay level understandings of the RC faith? Here’s another way of putting it: If the local Dean at St Mary of the Lake Seminary and I got a group of Catholic theologians and evangelical theologians together to discuss our views of the sacraments and learned to say things a little more delicately in light of one another’s genuine contributions, how much impact would that have at Willow Creek Community Church or Santa Maria del Popolo Church? Put directly, what influence do ecumenical dialogues have on denominational statements of faith and lay level comprehensions of the faith? |inline
John Frye is a must read. So is #2 in the series.
Impossible. It got me. (HT: Hamo)
Andrew Perriman has a good post on characteristics of an emerging theology. (HT: TSK) |inline
I was recently interviewed by a master’s student at a local university who is doing research on the emerging church movement. When he e-mailed me a note of thanks, I simply asked this: “Where are you theologically?” Here’s his answer. His story is a special feature o f the emerging movement, though he’s not so sure he’s emerging. I have masked some of his identity, though he did not say I had to. This story is published with his permission. |inline
I’ve changed the name from our weekly “Blogs of the Week” to “Weekly Meanderings” because we don’t restrict the post to blogs. After a week off while we were away, we start up again. Enjoy. Along with a change in name for this, I’ve overdone it by having too many links this week. Well, I missed reading blogs for a week and had some catching up to do. I’m wondering what everyone does about the blogroll. Every now and then I clean it up, and feel bad about those I’ve eliminated. Do we just leave them there forever? |inline
It was Kris’ birthday yesterday, and Laura and Mark came up for dinner on the porch. I made mushroom caps filled with basil, a salad, and I cooked up Chinese in the wok. Then we went for a long walk at Independence Grove Forest Preserve — where we saw an Eastern Bluebird nest with some babies poking their heads out. |inline
At Willow last night Mike Breaux presented the talk. He called it “From Walker to Walker” and traced the life of humans — who begin in walkers and end up (often enough) in walkers. It was a spirited and sensitive romp through the life cycle. Then he drew out three points: |inline
