Finally, I’m coming to the end of my look at Deconstructing Christianity by Alisa Childers and Tim Barnett. To be honest, I have not enjoyed writing it. It’s not because I didn’t agree with it. I actually have come away thinking that the criticisms of the book are over-exaggerated and unfair. Besides, when I really…
Another weekend has come. It’s time for Part 3 of my look at Alisa Childers’ and Tim Barnett’s book, The Deconstruction of Christianity. I’m going to follow the same routine as I have done in the previous two posts: (A) A quick summary of a chapter, and (B) My own comments in bold. Chapter 8:…
Another weekend has come. Time for another entry into my look at Alisa Childers’ and Tim Barnett’s book, The Deconstruction of Christianity. Last week I looked at Part 1 of their book, titled “#Exvangelical.” Part 2, “#Deconstruction,” is actually six chapters in the book, so I will be taking two blog posts to get through…
As things have turned out, the first part of this year has gotten me into reading books by people that many “progressive” social media types hate. Earlier this year, I went through Mere Christendom by Doug Wilson. Although I didn’t agree with everything he said, Wilson didn’t strike me as the raving, hateful lunatic that…
It’s late at night, but before I go to bed, I just felt compelled to fire off this post about online scholar Dan McClellan. I first came across him last year when he was complaining about David Falk’s comments about the work of Francesca Stavrakopolou. Long story short, Falk made an admittedly unprofessional and crass…
Here in Part 6 of my book analysis of Doug Wilson’s Mere Christendom, we will look at Part 4 of his book, entitled, “How to Restore Christendom.” Quite frankly, because I am ready to be done with this book, I’m going to tackle the entirety of Part 4 in this post. First, I’m going to…
Here in Part 5 of my book analysis of Doug Wilson’s Mere Christendom, I’m going to kick it into high gear and attempt to address his entire Part 3: “Lies About Mere Christendom.” Part 3 covers four chapters…and I haven’t even covered the last two chapters in Part 2 yet! Can I do it all…
Chapter 5 in Douglas Wilson’s book, Mere Christendom turns a corner from Part 1, which was an assessment of what Wilson says is wrong with our current society in America, to Part 2, where Wilson begins to make the case for “Christian Nationalism.” If you’ve noticed in my first three posts, I haven’t defined exactly…
I forgot to say in my previous post that Chapters 1-4 in Douglas Wilson’s Mere Christendom constitute Part 1, entitled, “Where We Are Now.” Therefore, according to Wilson in Chapter 1, “where we are now” in America is dealing with a wicked secular government that has situated itself as the “god of the system” and…
In this first real post about Douglas Wilson’s book, Mere Christendom, I am going to take a quick look at Chapter 1 (“The Wickedness of Secularism”). How I will attempt to go about analyzing each chapter (as I will do throughout the book) is break my analysis into two parts. First, I will give a…
