So what then is the advantage of being a Christian? What value is there in being part of this group? Much – in every respect. First of all, Christians have been entrusted with teachings inspired by God. Then what happens if some of them are not faithful to God? Their faithlessness doesn’t nullify God’s faithfulness, does it? Not at all. God is true, and every human being a liar, as it is written (in Psalm 51:4), “you are right in... Read more
I had someone suggest to me that writing “Dr. Who” is inappropriate, as it should always be “Doctor Who.” That can only be said by someone who has only been watching for a relatively short number of years…or at least, not since the beginning. Here is the way the credits looked back when the show first began: And here’s a shot from the Patrick Troughton era: And even in later times when the phrase tended not to be abbreviated in...

Here is the box that the complete Doctor Who box set comes in, ready to ship: I am joking, of course (if the photoshopping did not make that obvious). But it seemed as though someone ought to make an image like this, as a tribute to the nearly 363 hours of Doctor Who that have aired over the past 50 years. Just how big would a complete box set be?

This year is the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who. And even with some hiatuses during that period, it has reached a grand total of almost 363 hours. I’ve been rewatching the classic series, having started in 2011, and I still have a lot left… Who is planning on rewatching the entire classic series this year, to celebrate the 50th anniversary?

The Sycamore School Middle School Symphonic Band recently premiered a composition by Julie Giroux, commissioned by the estate of Dr. Donald Johnson for them. I had the privilege of hearing it live at this performance, and am happy that it was recorded and I can now share it with you! Read more
I had the privilege of taking a look recently at a draft of a book Jeffrey Gibson has been working on, about the Lord’s Prayer, or as he prefers it be called, the Disciples’ Prayer. He has a very interesting take on it, suggesting that a key background to the prayer is to be found in the Biblical theme of the rebellious wilderness generation. He treats all of the elements as not mere petitions for something to be done by... Read more
Doctor Who News has a brief piece about the forthcoming book Time and Relative Dimensions in Faith which Andy Crome and I have edited. It is already available for pre-order on Amazon in the UK (not yet through Amazon in the United States). I can’t guarantee that anyone will get them early as a result of pre-ordering, as some fans did with Blu-Ray copies of season 7. Doctor Who News quotes David Moloney of Darton, Longman, and Todd as follows: The... Read more
I had it drawn to my attention this morning that John Shelby Spong has a new book coming out soon: The Fourth Gospel: Tales of a Jewish Mystic. As it is about the Gospel of John, it is obviously of interest. I have a great ambivalence about Spong’s writings. On the one hand, his willingness to be a Christian iconoclast, not simply accepting traditional dogmas and viewpoints, I appreciate greatly. On the other hand, he sometimes presents as widely accepted... Read more
