N. T. Wright interview at BioLogos
My first of several video interviews of N. T. Wright is up this morning at BioLogos. This one is on the humanity of Jesus.
Giberson vs. Mohler on Darwin
Karl Giberson has responded to Al Mohler’s post on Darwin and the Bible. Mohler’s choice not to engage the topic is disappointing but I am still holding out hope that some dialogue will result. Giberson’s post has links to Mohler’s original post on his own site plus previously published responses to Mohler at BioLogos.
“Image of God” Part 4
My fourth and final post on the Image of God is up at BioLogos.
Atheists are Believers, Too.
My latest essay is up at the Huffington Post.
“Image of God” Part 3
My third image of God post is up on BioLogos today. Main point: the New Testament writers argue that the resurrected Christ fully embodies the image of God, thus making him more fully human than any other.
“Image of God” Part 2

It does not refer to the soul or psycho-spiritual qualities like reason or consciousness. This is better that Netflix, I promise you.

Why Religion Pollsters Should Go to Seminary First
My latest gentle and self-effacing article in the Huffington Post is now up. My point is the religion pollsters I mention in this post have some pretty unreflective ideas of what Christians believe. My last post resulted in mass atheist conversions–although I am not sure in which direction.
Open for Comments
For a number of complex reasons, the most important of which being “I feel like it,” I am opening up comments on my posts after a two-year self-absorbed imposition of silence. We’ll see how this goes. I will do my best to interact, and don’t take it personally if I don’t. Do take it personally, [...]
Does God Talk to Us Through Fiction?
I had an article posted today in the Huffington Post in their Religion and Science section. I make the point that conservative Christians and New Atheists share fundamentalist assumptions about the Bible that block their participation in the science/faith discussion. I will now sit back and wait for book and movie deals to come pouring [...]
