Book Notes: Theology of the Old Testament (Brueggemann)
Brueggemann, Walter. Theology of the Old Testament: Testimony, Dispute, Advocacy. Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 1997. ISBN: 0-8006-3087-4. As is usual, note that I’m calling this book notes, and to some extent a response, rather than a review.

Two Steps Back, and Proof Texts Too
Via Aristotle’s Feminist Subject, I found the story of the “True Woman” movement. See their manifesto as well.

The Worst Argument for Bailing Out the Auto Industry
I was thinking of this as I watched a few interviews today. I’m still less than at full speed after being sick in bed early in the week, and I’m spending more time on the couch working on my laptop and less at the desk in my office. My first inclination was to cite the…

Stories in a Chronological Context
Several things over the last couple of weeks have called my attention to time. My pastor preached about it last week, speaking of times of God’s extended silence. I lost some of it while being sick this week which always makes me a bit tense. Then I received a copy of 24/7: A One Year…
