Some, maybe more, of us wonder about the prayer lives of the Beatles, or have wondered or have not wondered, but at least in this one they are watching me do my morning prayers during Advent in my North Park office. A great reading chair.

Our Common Prayerbook 30 - 3
Psalm 30 thanks God (vv. 1-3, 11-12) and exhorts others to thank God (vv. 4-5). Both emerge from the concrete reality of David's own experience. Here is what that experience looks like:Step one: David was set on high and was flourishing at the hand of God's bounty (v. 7a).Step two: David became too

Theology After Darwin 1 (RJS)
One of the more important and more difficult pieces of the puzzle as we feel our way forward at the interface of science and faith is the theological implications of discoveries in modern science. A comment on my post Evolution in the Key of D: Deity or Deism noted: ...this reminds me of why I get a

Almost Christian 4
Who does well when it comes to passing on the faith to the youth? Studies show two groups do really well: conservative Protestants and Mormons; two groups that don't do well are mainline Protestants and Roman Catholics. Kenda Dean's new book is called Almost Christian: What the Faith of Ou

Let's Get Neanderthal!
The Cave Man Diet, or Paleo Diet, is getting attention. (Nothing is said about Culver's at all.) The big omission, I have to admit, is that those folks were hunters -- using spears or smacking some rabbit upside the conk or grabbing a fish or two with their hands ... but that's what makes this diet

The shelves look surpisingly bare from what I would have pictured. Then again, maybe they’re all down by your feet!

Dave,
My office at school does not house the books I use — they are all at home. What’s at school is basically stuff ready to be given away.

It is great to get a glimpse of you in “real life”. I am in Ontario visiting and spent the evening with the pastor of my childhood church. He is reading “Turning to Jesus”, so we had a nice long chat about you.
By the way, I see the poll has taken a turn again.
Peace,
Jamie

As Scot McKnight reads about the historical formulations of the Trinity, he can only imagine the Trinity if he had been at the Councils: John, Paul, George and Ringo. Oops! That’s a Quadrinity.

Let it Be! Great song for Advent. When the Angel visited Mary she said Let it be according to your word!

It was the Four Cappadocians who articulated the Trinity, but I was contemplating Advent Season prayers.
On my office poster of the Beatles: I asked the Beatles to close their eyes — but they said I was reading so they preferred to keep their eyes open with me. ha.
