RR: Mystery, Defeat and Death

Posted on Tuesday 24 February 2009

I have a new essay up at the Rabbit Room blog, quoting G.K. Chesterton, Bertrand Russell, N.T. Wright, Leslie Newbigin, and Andy Gullahorn. My favorite song from Jill Phillips’ new CD, Resurrection, is streaming at the bottom of the post. Check it out here.

    Well said!

    I’ve been swimming in N.T. Wright’s writing lately. Oddly enough, its one of the reasons why lately I have no desire to write theological blogs. Anytime I start writing one I end up just wanting to link to Tom Wright’s sermon or writing on the subject.

    From your reading list, I’d say we are kindred spirits, my friend! Have you read Everlasting Man by G.K.? I think I like it even better than Orthodoxy.

    I haven’t read Everlasting Man yet. Orthodoxy is the first Chesterton book I’ve read. I’ll add it to my list.

    The next theological book I have on my nightstand to work through is Wright’s Surprised by Hope.

    Have you read any Frederick Buechner yet?

    No I haven’t but thanks for the tip!

    I just finished Surprised by Hope and I loved it.
