This Week in Word from the Bird

Christianity and the Social Order. Al Mohler on Conservatism. Attributes of a gospel worker. The Maranatha Prayer. Jesus and Hell.

I am doing a lot of conferences this week, Paul within Paganism, and then the Society of New Testament Studies.

Monday: Book of the Week: Christianity and the Social Order (Free Sign-Ups)
My review of a classic book by Archbishop William Temple.

Tuesday: Al Mohler's Address at the National Conservatism Conference (Paid Subscribers)
Mohler is very happy with a coalition of Protestants, Catholics, and Jews standing up for western civilization But what is his socio-political apparatus for defending the rights of these three tribes beyond a mutual hatred of godless bureaucrats? His conservative pluralism needs to be sustained by religious tolerance, which requires some kind of secularity!
