Peter Rollins has a challenging story called “The Rapture” that I highly recommend reading. Tony Jones shares a quote on the Newsweek kerfuffle (which I think is now the official way of referring to the recent article on the Bible and gay marriage the the reactions to it). Michael Spencer blogs about an ideal evangelicalism (and has apparently found “The Perfect Church”). Craig Blomberg has a guest post on Debunking Christianity about why he is still a Christian. Opposing Views joins the discussion of whether Jesus was a historical figure. And Michael Halcomb has a blog entry on whether Mary was raped. Shields Up sees problems with the notion of Scripture’s “plain meaning”. There’s now also Bad Archaeology (HT Archaeology Online). Ancient Hebrew Poetry asks if Early Judaism was wrong. Chris Heard has a quote on writing well.
AIG Busted recommends the latest issue of Scientific American be force fed (sorry, he meant recommended for reading) to creationists. John Pieret, Troy Britain and Larry Moran show why this is needed. There’s also a new journal that will begin publication next year, Psychology of Religion and Spirituality.
