Recent happenings.

I finished up Kenton Sparks' God's Word in Human Words. I'm going to read through some of the key chapters before doing any sort of review. It's incredibly thought provoking, and I especially recommend it for those who have grown up in the more conservative evangelical traditions and find themselves dealing with questions on inerrancy, biblical criticism at large, and the challenges of modern science and epistemology. I'm quite certain the book will be bashed by those with fundamentalist leanings. However, I think Sparks merits an audience and I find his "solutions" thought provoking, healthy, and timely. I definitely echo his call for a Christianity that is intellectually robust and inquisitive, and  agree that contemporary hermeneutics need to actively engage in dialogue with both the physical and social sciences.

On another note, we watched the newest installment of Indiana Jones. I'm close to boycotting anything George Lucas does these days! That man is running wild with CGI, and it's killing his product. It's like the proverbial movie star that gets way too much plastic surgery. And, I think the guy has no conception of "target audience." Jar Jar Binks? Young Anakin? And now, the monkey scene? Anyway, there's quite a few scenes filmed on the Yale campus, which makes things somewhat stimulating...at least until the movie's genre abruptly changes!
