Received: For the Life of the World

Byhenry May 22, 2008

In some much earlier discussions on health care, which I never really completed in any satisfactory manner, I was discussing Alexander Schmemann’s book For the Life of the World with Mark Olson of Pseudo-Polymath. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a copy of the book so as to discuss it intelligently.

I sent off for one via interlibrary loan. It took them so long to find it, that I had practically forgotten I had done so. I had to think for a moment, asking myself what ILL book had come in when I got the notice.

In any case, it’s here, and I will read it and comment further.

(Galatians 3:1-2, ISV, from…

Slavery and the Bible Condensed

Byhenry March 27, 2006

I’d like to condense the major arguments with regard to the Bible and slavery, as it appears that at least a couple of people have missed the point at which I’m hooking into this debate. (Please resist the idea that because I use lists when summarizing that I’m actually trying to reduce this to formal…

Seven Marks: Genuine Relationships

Byhenry October 31, 2015

The fourth mark of a New Testament church that Dave Black finds in Acts he calls genuine relationships. The early believers devoted themselves to the fellowship, to their community. There are so many words for it. In America today we rarely think of the church as a community and even more rarely as our community….

In the Confessions of Category

Byhenry May 31, 2014

We didn’t plan it this way, but my friend and Energion author Dave Black now has a book with a subtitle that begins with “Confessions of …” So what do I mean “not planned” and why is this significant? Well, I wrote a book several years ago, and the subtitle began with “Confessions of …”…
