These photographs by Christopher Bucklow are quite stunning (gallery images via DLK). I was first exposed to Bucklow’s work on the cover of David Eagleman’s Sum. I highly recommend Eagleman’s book, but only the first edition—don’t buy the more recent editions without the Bucklow image! You can view more images from this series at Bucklow’s website. I think...

However, after reading a response to Rollins’ book at The Church & Postmodern Culture blog I felt compelled to post a brief review at Amazon. Here’s the content of that review: “The subtitle of Insurrection is ‘to believe is human to doubt,...

Responding to Peter Rollins’ new book, Insurrection, Katharine Moody asks: “In a reversal of the function of many other church leaders who believe on behalf of the community, are we letting Rollins disbelieve on behalf of the community?” Good question (read the entire review/response).

The difficult celebration of life
A wonderful post from Peter Rollins: “[Faith communities] must encourage us to find meaning and beauty in the world we inhabit. They [should] sensitise us to one another, encouraging us to embrace each others brokenness and stand together in our joys and sufferings. “It is here, in the difficult celebration of life, that God is manifest: not as that which we sing to but rather as...
