Master Scripture Index for New Studies in Biblical Theology
I can’t imagine how long this took. Andy Naselli has compiled a master Scripture index for the entire series “New Studies in Biblical Theology.”


How Tim Keller Found Manhattan
CT writes about Tim Keller in their most recent issue. “Standing 6’4″, with a bald head, glasses, and a coat and tie, Keller, 58, does not look hip. Nor is his sermon funny, charming, or daring. He preaches from the first chapter of Genesis, on the doctrine of Creation.”


‘CheneyMan’ And ‘SuperFrau’
“The extent to which we’re in an Age of Worship can be gleaned from a howler at the D-Day commemoration, in which Gordon Brown–woefully overpromoted as Britain’s prime minister–referred to Omaha Beach as “Obama Beach.””
