    Thinking in Circles about the Bible

    Kenneth Way — 

    One of the best books I have read in the last couple of years is Thinking in Circles (Yale, 2007) by Mary Douglas. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in hermeneutics, literary approaches to the Bible, or the cultural background of the Bible. It is a non-technical read that is filled with fresh and provocative insights, and since it is only about 150 pages, one could read it in just one or two sittings.

    Last week our son, Elijah (7) was given a drawing assignment: copy Sandro Botticellis Madonna of the Pomegranate (c. 1487). Operative word here: copy. Elijah, however, understood interpret. And so the heavenly shafts of light illumining Marys head were transmogrified into something rather less spiritual. So, taking a cue from Sanderss Avant-Garde category

    You Can Be a Renewed Life Journey Guide

    Rex E. Johnson — 

    Imagine meeting weekly for 3 4 months over coffee or tea with someone who is eager to discover what a relationship with Jesus Christ is all about. Conversations focus on understanding the Bible, salvation, the Holy Spirit and resurrection, righteousness and justification, peace with God and the peace of God, the realm of grace, freedom from punishment and the freedom in discipline. They are true conversations, not lectures. You have a guidebook, your Traveler gets a Travelers Notebook. We have often found that the Traveler has not really begun the journey. He or she has never surrendered to Jesus, and we can help them understand better what salvation is, and commit to Jesus.

    Just Skating By: Skateboarding as Sanctuary in a Fallen World

    Jeffrey Volkmer — 

    The recently convened Searching for Sanctuary Film Festival at 51蹤獲 presented significant independent films that explored the meaning of, and human longing for, sanctuary. The films screened were illustrative of the deep yearning all humans have for true sanctuary and the repercussions of its absence, ultimately pointing to the archetype of sanctuary for the Christian, Jesus Christ. One of the films screened was directed by Orlando van Einsiedel entitled, Skateistan: To Live and Skate in Kabul. It provided a beautifully shot and deeply poignant portrayal of the importance of sanctuary in the lives of the children of Kabul, Afghanistan, whose lives are tremendously impacted not only by the notable absence of sanctuary, but also how they were able to find it upon a skateboard. Here is not only an opportunity to view this wonderful film, but a theological reflection of its significance.
