"A Christianity which will bear witness to God's Word in Jesus will be a speaking, thinking,arguing, debating Christianity, which will not be afraid to engage in intellectual andphilosophical contest with the prevailing dogmas of its day."
-- Oliver O'Donovan, Begotten or Made? (Clarendon Press, 1984)

Eat This Book: A Conversation in the Art of Spiritual Reading
Last year, I had the pleasure of talking with Eugene Peterson about his book Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places: A Conversation in Spiritual Theology. Our own conversation about his Conversation was so delightful and instructive, that we made the entire unedited interview available on-line. If you are among those who enjoyed that interview, you will be interested to know of a sequel to that book. The new volume, also published by Eerdmans, is called Eat This Book: A Conversation in the Art of Spiritual Reading. [Read more on Eat This Book]
"Wardrobe Accessories"
On Volume 77 of the MARS HILL AUDIO Journal, Peter Schakel and Alan Jacobs discussed their recent works on C. S. Lewis and the Chronicles of Narnia. Of course theirs are not the only works published lately on the subject, as a review in Touchstone: A Journal of Mere Christianity demonstrates. In "Wardrobe Accessories," Donald T. Williams reviews three commentaries on The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, two of which are written by former guests on the Journal.[Read more about "Wardrobe Accessories"]
Ken Myers in New Hampshire and Vermont
On March 17 and 18 Ken Myers will give three lectures at a conference on bioethics sponsored by the Amoskeag Presbyterian Church in Manchester, New Hampshire. Under the general conference title of "The New Creation and a Brave New World: Asking the Right Questions about Biotechnology," the titles of the individual lectures are: "The Incarnation, the Resurrection, and the Meaning of Embodiment," "The Triumph of the Will and the Meaning of the Modern," and "The Meaning of the Human and the Challenge of Everyday Faithfulness." For more information, check the church's webpages (www.amoskeagchurch.org).
On April 22 Ken will give an address at the 4th annual Vermont Conference on Christianity and the Arts, which will be held at Memorial Baptist Church in Middlebury. His lecture is entitled "Christian Discipleship and the Necessity of a Healthy Imagination," in which he will argue that the training of the imagination is critical to redirecting the hearts of believers, so that we will learn to love what is inherently lovely as well as despise what is inherently despicable.
