The first full story in Sherwood Anderson’s Winesburg, Ohio is a story titled, “Hands.” It is one of my favorites. It is the story of an odd “fat little old man” in Winesburg named Wing Biddlebaum. He lived in a house just outside of town, next to a field that had been seeded for clover,…
A new year is upon us, so I wanted to start off this new year on my blog with a literary series about a book that I long have loved: Winesburg, Ohio by Sherwood Anderson. Published in 1919, it is one of the often-overlooked gems of American Literature. Now, I had never even heard of…
Here we are at the end of 2024. As I’ve look back over the topics I covered this year on resurrecting orthodoxy, I noticed that a good number of my posts this year had to do with, shall we say, a very specific “war” going on within the largely Evangelical world: Left vs. Right, Woke…
Well, it’s the Christmas season, and as to be expected, many “social media scholars” have posted material that deals with the nativity stories in Matthew and Luke.

Over this Thanksgiving break, I decided to rent The Ark and the Darkness, a YECist movie collaboration of Liberty University and the Ark Encounter. It originally came out at the beginning of 2024, but I wasn’t about to pay $20 to buy it, so I waited until I could plunk down $5 to rent it…
Recently, I sat down for an interview with Gregg Davidson on his “7 Series Podcast” to talk about my book, The Heresy of Ham. Take a listen! Ep 27 – Heresy of Ham, with author Joel Anderson
Here in my final installment of my look at Hugh Ross’ Rescuing Inerrancy, I’m going to say a few things about his final chapter, and then my reflections of the book overall. If you want to learn more about the creation/evolution debate as a whole, as well as some Church History and proper Biblical Exegesis,…
