I’m in Malibu, California at the Pepperdine University lectures. This week we’re hearing messages based on the stories of Genesis. Not that I really care what the lectures are based on. I’d come to listen to lectures about the intricacies of Obadiah if they were in Malibu.

Interview with N.T. Wright about the resurrection
You say that the Hebrew bible is not largely concerned with what happens to people when they die. That might surprise many Christians.

On Saturday, I finished Dan Kimball’s The Emerging Church and was extremely impressed. Kimball gives a balanced, humble, and extremely readable explanation of what the “emerging” church is all about. It’s not intended to be a “how to” but rather a “what if” kind of book. If you’re already well into the [...]
Last night we hosted a Passover Seder at our house. It was a wonderful experience. We had multiple generations sitting around the table retelling the story of the Exodus.
