Mohler at BYU – Al Mohler was asked to speak at Brigham Young University.

Casting Out the Devil – Craig Keener writes about the decision of the people who made Son of God to eliminate the devil from the story.

Preparing Your Teens – Westminster Books has some great sales this week, including Alex Chediak’s new book: Preparing Your Teens for College.

Bible in the Original GeekChristianity Today takes us “the world of the new Bible coders—and how they will change the way you think about Scripture.” It’s funny to think about, but coders may be as important in the future as scholars have been in the past.

Pascal’s Method – I enjoyed this article from Tim Keller; he writes about Pascal and his method for speaking about truth with unbelievers.
