An Inconvenient Truth
Go watch it and then make up your mind. I like one of the quotes during the closing credits … “When you pray, move your feet.”
Talking about “Universal Particularities?”
My friend Sherman Kuek has a new surge of blogging energy before his engagement … which is a good sign, It’s concentrated here in Universal Particularities? for a start. For me it’s interesting how this “contextual” bit needs to be stressed in his blog. Perhaps not so much for those who are already aware that…

A simplified summary of John H. Yoder’s classic book: The Politics of Jesus by Nathan Hobby with James Patton One of our church members was hoping to introduce some of Yoder’s key ideas to a LiFe Group.

Two Hands in Evangelism

Consider the following: _________________________________________ “… I think there are two hands in evangelism, one…
中 庸 – The Doctrine of the Mean

Some excerpts to jump start my brain juices and heart currents: _________________________________________ Zhongyong I. 3. “莫見乎隱，莫顯乎微，故君子慎其獨也。 There is…

Simply Lewis: Reflections on a Master Apologist After 60 Years N.T. Wright has a way with words doesn’t he? 🙂 ” My Oxford tutors looked down their noses if you so much as mentioned him in a tutorial. This was, we may suppose, mere jealousy: He sold and they didn’t. It may also have been…
The Chinese Classics — Volume 1: Confucian Analects by James Legge
I know people who have a good grasp of Aristotle and Plato etc. I’m a total amateur in all this. I’m also a little bit tired of the privileging of certain western based philosophies (as well as specific epistemologies) while ignoring my roots. But since I can read both Chinese and English … I thought…
