It's great when you find materials that are useful in generating thought and discussion in regards to the viability and value of the Christian message, and here are a couple that I really enjoyed this month.
First up is a piece that really seeks to ask how we carry on with 'normal' life in a world that is clearly becoming very dark, not only in respect to the way we've abused the planet, but in regards to the meltdown becoming so abrupt in respect to how we define ourselves. It affirms that Christianity still makes that possible, but that of course raises a deeper issue... is that true?
Which brings me to my other recommendation. Tom Wright is a well known writer and teacher, but this radio discussion with the historian Tom Holland about the impact of Paul and Christianity on the world is superb. It explains why the approach of current popular writers on religion and morality like Stephen Pinker are wrong, and why Christianity has been so beneficial to our world for so long.
Enjoy.
