Different people have different choices when it comes to music for the apocalypse. The song I’ve chosen to share for the occasion (it is already May 21st in some parts of the world) is “Undertow” by the band Genesis, because of the appropriateness of some of the lyrics. Read more
I sent an e-mail to fellow blogger Nick Norelli and received the following back as an automated response: I will be out of the earth until forever. The rapture has occurred and if you have received this message you missed it. Sucks to be you. If this were authentic, it would mean that Harold Camping was wrong, since it isn’t 6pm in Tonga yet. But I shared it because it was funny, not because I thought it was authentic. On... Read more

Fox News made a wise choice in talking to New Testament scholar Harold Attridge about the end-of-the-world hype being spread by Harold Camping. Unfortunately I couldn’t get the video to embed (you can watch it here).

I am grateful to Eerdmans for having sent me a free review copy of Thomas H. McCall’s book Which Trinity? Whose Monotheism? Philosophical and Systematic Theologians on the Metaphysics of Trinitarian Theology(Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2010). McCall’s book examines key voices in contemporary Trinitarian theology through the lens of analytic philosophy. The introduction explains the rationale for McCall’s effort to build a bridge between analytic philosophy and systematic theology, emphasizing that, on the one hand, he is not trying to be...

Since my post sharing the gem below from SpoonBlog has been getting a lot of traffic, I thought I’d cross-post it here on my new blog location as well… FAQ for my Students: The Rapture Q: With the rapture coming, should I bother working on my final paper? A: Yes. The odds are you will not be judged worthy of ascent to heaven, in which case your grades will still be a basis of judgment for rewards in this earthly... Read more
