Why Are there Never Enough Parking Spaces at the Prostate Clinic?
Carl Trueman offers more than a great (and original) title in this article about the Christian obsession with culture. “Plenty of talk about Christian approaches to art, music, literature, sex, even international politics. All very interesting subjects, I’m sure, and the topics of many a chardonnay-fuelled discussion after a hearty dinner party. But what about subjects that aren’t quite so interesting? Take street sweepers, for example; or hotel lavatory attendants; or workers on an umbrella manufacturing line. Why no conference on the Christian philosophy underlying these vital callings and trades?”
Mohler on Carson
Some valuable advice from Dr. Mohler: “Here is a simple rule to keep in mind: When D. A. Carson writes a book, buy it.”
Calvin on Knowing the Truth
Kevin Boling’s “Knowing the Truth” radio program will be featuring many Calvin experts in the coming days. Check the site for a schedule.
Calvin Audio Links
Martin Downes is collecting calvin-related audio links for those interested in hearing instead of reading about him.
Blake Hicks
Blake Hicks has an album (available on Noisetrade) called Songs of a Pious Heart. It is a tribute to Augustine’s confessions. You can read a review of it here.

I can’t agree enough with Mohler’s assessment of the quality of Carson’s works, though I only have a few: the two “For the Love of God” volumes and “How Long, O Lord”.
I plan to acquire more.

While I thoroughly enjoyed Trueman’s article and agreed with a lot of what he said, I’m not sure his statement quoted above makes any sense. The middle class topics of discussion he mentions are popular cultural topics of interest, the “lower class” topics he mentions (Street Sweeping and Umbrella manufacturing) are vocations - I don’t think anyone is talking about the finer points of Umbrella manufacturing in the pub on a Friday night…!
Psst. It’s 1/6.
