There’s some good reading around at the moment. Here’s a few pieces I’ve enjoyed:
- J.M Coetzee on The Angry Genius of Les Murray
- Yvonne Willkie ruminates about old sermons
- Peter Singer writes about Bhutan’s ‘gross national happiness’
- Ben Myers reviews Rob Bell’s Love Wins (btw: Steve Holmes did a series of helpful posts on Bell’s book back in April)
- Brad East shares some Luther who reminds us that the only God we know is the God who suckled on Mary’s breasts
- David Congdon reviews The Bible Made Impossible
- Evan Kuehn points to two recent articles on Schleiermacher: Robert Merrihew Adams’s on philosophical aspects of his Christology, and Johannes Wischmeyer’s on Schleiermacher’s involvement with the founding of the University of Berlin
- Matthew Milliner reminds us of the legacy of John Ruskin
- Paul Fromont on Allie Eagle’s latest project (which, by the way, includes that half-finished pastel drawing of yours truly featured on my author page)
- Rick Floyd (who has a new blog address) shares his 9/11 sermon, first preached a decade ago
- J.R. Daniel Kirk, who is normally worth reading, proves his fallibility once again with a shocker on Is Systematic Theology Necessary?
- Michael Jenson is reading James Hunter’s To Change the World: The Irony, Tragedy, and Possibility of Christianity in the Late Modern World, and thinking about ‘oppressive egalitarianism’
- Garry Deverell shares his sermon on the paradox of forgiveness

Certainly, although that latest batch of San Francisco weed – smoked passively, of course – may have something to do with your judgement(?)
BTW JR, I posted some thoughts on this topic some time back: Biblical critics and dogmaticians in dialogue.

Coetzee is great, isn’t he? Have you read that collection of essays of his? I forget what it’s called. Not only a great novelist, but a first-class critic too.

@Andre: he has a number of collections of essays, of which I’ve read none :-(

Inner Workings: Literary Essays, 2000-2005. I forgot it has an essay on John Huston’s film The Misfits, which I watched recently. Btw: did you see the film adaptation of Disgrace? What did you think?

Yes I did (with Bruce, in fact). I thought it was wonderful – one of the best films I saw last year.

Jason,
I like to read our brother JR; but your sarcasm with him in introducing his post, and response to him are both hilarious — made me laugh (with you, hopefully JR, and not at you).
