I think this project is amazing. BLOWS MY MIND OUT OF MY SKULL.

Israel/Palestine

This CT article is heavily critical of Carter's views. How do I go about ACTUALLY learning what I should about Israel and Palestine. I am very UNLIKELY to feel like something is true if it seems slanted at Israel.

Any suggestions?

Which God is on the Move?

My friend Troy bought this book: On the Move - by Bono and then left it for me to read this weekend.

I love the political direction. But he rather off handedly includes Christians, Jews and Muslims together as he speaks at the National Prayer breakfast. Bono is definitely a Christian, and probably a true believer, but I wish he wouldn't casually leave the subject matter of "common worship" open as if Muslims and Christians could pray to the same God.

The God Christians worship is Yhwh seen in and through Jesus, resurrected King of Israel and the world. If you worship a different God, he isn't the same one...

New Reading

I have decided that I want to start reading the monster project:

The New Testament and the People of God Vol. 1 of the "Christian Origins and the Question of God" series by Saint Nicholas Saint Thomas Wright

We'll see how far I get.

I am also reading Systematic Theology by Saint Louis Berkhof. I am up to about page 80. Again, I will see how far I get, but I am making up for reading I should have done in a Seminary class. I already talked to the Prof. I need to do penance though.

My current novel is the Dante Club by Matthew Pearl. It is AWESOME.
