Theology: Justin Taylor has compiled a list of an excellent series written by Thabiti Anyabwile (no, I don’t know how to pronounce it either and no, my spell checker doesn’t recognize it) entitled “Things I Learned While at Capitol Hill Baptist Church.”

Church: Meanwhile, in another corner of the blogosphere, Jollyblogger is compiling links dealing with the feminization of the church. And, as a bonus, he is offering some of his own comments.

Bible: Rick has been reading the works of F.F. Bruce and has posted a brief meditation on Paul, Apostle of Privilege. “I don’t know if a comparison to even someone like John F. Kennedy does justice to the elite status Paul was born into and spent his entire life in.”

Weird: My sister-in-law and I have been attempting to coin a word to describe the orange residue that accumulates on the fingers of a person eating cheesies (or cheese doodles as I believe you know them in the States). Would anyone like to suggest a possible term? If you nail it with the perfect word I’ll send you a book or something (complete with some cheesy fingerprints).

Some of these are original and some are drawn from articles I’ve written in…

    Undermining the Bible

    There is an entire sector of the publishing industry that is dedicated to undermining people’s confidence in the Bible. Many of these books shoot to the top of the bestseller lists with their novel conspiracies about the Bible’s origins, their theories about its hidden secrets, or their conviction that it is a mess of contradictions.
