Having just finished a book (have I told you that, yet?), I keep getting told by people about mistakes in the manuscript. Then I was directed to this gem by Taylor Mali, a poet whom Chris Seay first told me about years ago. Read more

I had a great time in D.C. I kidded the folks at National City Christian Church why they get to call their denomination “Churches of Christ” and “Disciples of Christ.” I mean, those seem like rather generic names that all of us who follow Jesus should be able to use.

You can listen to my sermon here — if you do, you might find something really juicy that you could blog about… After worship, Josh and I met up... Read more
My friend David Fitch’s post on Scot McKnight’s new book has reminded me to post on it. As I am the general editor for EV’s series with Abingdon (“Living Theology”), I read the manuscript for A Community Called Atonement earlier this year.
