I wonder if Gutenberg would cry

A few days ago I went into a bookstore and began to browse the shelves of the store. This, by far is one of my favorite activities! But on this trip, I was struck by the sheer number of books that were at best dull and at worst heresy.  They were books about deep things written by men who had arrived at the wrong conclusion and now suffer the world [and trees] to their wrong conclusion.

Sadly, these books and authors were filtered and edited; a glimmer of hope that is doomed by the blog world. Just because you can write doesn’t mean you should.

myself included.

 

Jesus’ passion and an emergent jab: One busy/funny sentance.

Jesus also tells some sunday school teachers they are going to hell, which made the universalistic Emergent folks immediately engage in a conversation about the mythology of hell and fingerpaint about the emotional wounds caused by his words.
