But this is the best blog post ever on the topic of […]

Evangel, discussed here, is become quite the little firestorm of christian blogging.
Snagging a number of the most interesting bloggers, if not necessarily the most famous, has become the place for other bloggers to come, read, and then write on their own blogs about, either about the blog or the content. It has even started some […]

From Ian Clausen, at Christians in Context
It is one of the more haunting and enigmatic ‘aspects’ of the Gospel. Indeed, it is certainly the case that the Gospel received through the apostolic witness is simply unintelligible without it. I am writing about the humility and radical non-violence of Christ.
