• Some forthconing books to look out for: Paul’s New Moment: Continental Philosophy and the Future of Christian Theology by John Milbank, Creston Davis, Slavoj Žižek; Commanding Grace: Studies in Karl Barth’s Ethics by Daniel L. Migliore; Defending Constantine: The Twilight of an Empire and the Dawn of Christendom by Peter J. Leithart; and The Paradox of Disability: Responses to Jean Vanier and L’Arche Communities from Theology and the Sciences edited by Hans S. Reinders.

• An upcoming conference (and call for papers) considering ‘Perspectives on Evil’.
• Richard Hays on (not) burning the Quran.
• Brian McLaren, the Artful Dodger.
• Hauerwas on learning how to speak Christian.
• Clark Pinnock has finished the race.
• Davey Henreckson posts on Westminster and the ecumenical creeds and shares some Westminster-related links.
• Paul Helm reviews Bob Letham’s latest book, The Westminster Assembly: Reading Its Theology in Historical Context.
• Finally, they can keep their ipads, kobos, kindles, nooks, (Sony) readers, and pocket books; I’ll have one of these man-size e-readers any day:
