Thomas Jefferson’s BibleSmithsonian magazine: “Thanks to an extensive restoration and conservation process, the public can now see how Jefferson cut and pasted his own version of the Scripture.”

TGC Ontario – There is a local Gospel Coalition event coming to Ontario. You’ll find some details at the Facebook page.

Matt Hammitt – Matt Hammitt was the subject of a story in a recent issue of USA Today. “Told that his unborn son had only half a heart and little chance to survive, the lead singer of the Christian rock band Sanctus Real began pouring his fears and doubts into music.”

How Luther Went Viral – This is an interesting look at the viral nature of the Reformation. “Five centuries before Facebook and the Arab spring, social media helped bring about the Reformation.”
