So my other passion beyond theology, if you don’t know (and even if you do), is higher education. More specifically, higher education in the Western liberal arts tradition. There has been a lot of talk, on the news, in trade journals, and in blogs or on social media, recently about whether it is “worth it” to…

What Kind of Fire is it?
Ok so yes, this is late. But it is still important. If you haven’t heard, John MacArthur released a new book and he did so with gusto, including a conference advertised by this video: Now, I can’t tell you everything that is going on in that video. There’s a whole thing with what appears to…

Coming back to the blog (for real) and new Soul Fusion article on Politics (AHH!)
Sorry again for the interruption. As far as an explanation goes, we had a very full house for two weeks followed by some drawn out illnesses at our house. Following all of that I was in full swing of grading/marking exams and so I haven’t really had the time or energy to devote to this…
