I could become less obsessed with particularities and more concerned with
universals. I could engage less with the accidents of culture and more
with the substance of nature. I might even spend less time training people who
don't know the Apostles' Creed to watch movies that would have made grandma
blush and more time teaching them the basic elements of scripture and doctrine.
Horribly modernist, I know; in fact, boringly passé. But it might,
just might, prove more relevant in the long run than being able to understand
the sacramental significance of Sharon Stone or playing `Spot the Redeemer
Figure' in the latest Jim Carrey movie. (HT: Justin Taylor)
The article is wonderfully insightful, funny and troubling. Realize no matter who you are that there will probably be something in there that bothers you. (It just so happens this week that Dr. Veith is posting excerpts from a lecture given by Carl Trueman about Luther's theology of the cross that is quite interesting as well.)
Also, this last weekend, The White Horse Inn began a series about how Christians can effectively share the good news in our Post Christian culture. Very important stuff.
