Contextualization—with a Twist

Friday, July 7th, 2006

Coming to Alabama to visit my folks affords me the opportunity to escape—from the paperwork at the office I loathe, and from the students I love, or at least the myriad of questions they pose about life and ministry and communicating the gospel to this generation and howtheywanttochangetheworldanddoitnowand…

Join the Movement, Part I

Sunday, July 2nd, 2006

Note: I already realized I write too many books and other long things, making my posts maddeningly long (which is ironic as I don’t have time to read long posts). So, as a novice I will try to embrace brevity :-). Thus, part one:
