“Using” words shouldn’t have to mean “endorsing” the concepts the words describe. I don’t see how you can function in society without using these words. Yet, the world isn’t so simple. “Defining” is the key. And, the government does not control the vocabulary of the people. Lord help us.

A lot to distill and synthesize here, but the connection of literature to life and humanity in our age is really, really important. Trying to write about it!

Please people just read more history, be more curious, and love more people.

The plan is transparent. This administration is designed to tire us out and wear us down so that we are docile as we are plunged further into an abyss of dehumanization. We will need to be strategic about responding to these aggressions and about holding fast to a love ethic.

A book I wish I had run across decades ago. Benefiting greatly from it now, to be sure.

“Time is just another kind of space.” Finally reading (listening) H.G. Wells The Time Machine. 🤯 #Booksky

Though different, this describes my own angst through 2020-21: “I further explained how I believe our Presbyterian and reformed tradition has a rich theology of lament, restitution, and corporate sin, which seems to be conveniently ignored and forgotten in recent conversations on these subjects.”

“The Gospel is a joyful tiding, not only for the individual person but also for humanity, for the family, for society, for the state, for art and science, for the entire cosmos, for the whole groaning creation.” - Herman Bavinck

@scotmcknight.bsky.social 10 or so yrs ago I spent a lot of time debating in the comments of your blog on evolution, predestination, etc. While still sometimes disagreeing, I have come to appreciate your work more and more over the yrs. Here’s to common ground on Bluesky for the common good!

But for religious people especially, the loss of our collective desire and aptitude to read good books well is lamentable. My new column at @RNS: religionnews.com/2024/11/26/l...

Lamenting the decline in literacy? The church can help

(RNS) — Reading is an area in which the church historically has led the culture and is called to do so again.
