Reviews: Suddenly Barna’s book Revolution is back in the news. Reformation21 [2] is discussing it and Justin Taylor points to a review by Sam Storms. Chris Treat [3] also reviews it.
Theology: Michael Haykin says that it is appropriate to laugh [4] at Barna and his ecclesiological proposal.
Nature: Snopes [5] confirms the truth of a story claiming that “a baby-hippopotamus that survived the tsumani waves on the Kenyan coast has formed a strong bond with a giant male century-old tortoise, in an animal facility in the port city of Mombasa.”
Entertainment: The New York Daily News lists the worst [6] television shows of 2005. I am proud to say that I did not see any of them (with the exception of a very few moments of that awful Britney Spears one).
