I’m not sure where it started – perhaps studio publicists initially fed the convenient misinformation – but nearly every review of “A Serious Man” has described the film as a modern version of the Book of Job.
It makes me wonder if anyone has read Job lately.
Sure, the central figure in “A Serious Man,” the latest [...]

A church in North Carolina is planning a Bible and book burning on Halloween.  If it’s not the King James Version, into the flames it goes.  Any book written by Christian leaders they identify as heretics (Billy Graham, Rick Warren, Bill Hybels, James Dobson, Charles Swindoll and others) are into the bonfire as well.  For [...]

Today I went ballistic. Trouble is I have a blog and when you have a blog your meltdown moments aren’t only witnessed by the doorknob. In this case I went a little bit postal when I heard that logos.com was giving away 72 “ultra-premium” Bibles over the next six months. Since when is there such [...]

Most Christians with a high view of Scripture would tell you that “all Scripture is inspired by God and profitable…” but if you really dig down you’ll see that, to paraphrase Animal Farm, all Scripture is inspired but some Scripture is more inspired than others. The recent data on BibleGateway was a great example of [...]

Recently, the oldest known version of the Bible went digital. The 1,600-year-old, hand written Codex Sinaiticus has been spread out in four different locations, but historians and scholars are now bringing the pieces together online.
The Codex Sinaiticus is significant because it’s the oldest complete Greek text of the New Testament that includes hand written [...]

Twitter constrains messages to a mere 140 characters, and critics say it just puts another dent in our insect-like attention spans, and our ability to think and [...]

Is there a “secret gospel” that tells the real story of Christianity? There’s not just one “lost gospel”; there are many contenders to that title, most of them describing alternate versions of Jesus and his teachings. None of these “lost gospels” poses a real threat to Christian belief, but that doesn’t stop us all from [...]

I first started thinking about this post last year during Advent, but I think it’s still relevant now as we look ahead a few months to Easter.  We know Advent is a time of longing for the fulfillment of God’s promises, and baby Jesus is gift we celebrate with an eye toward his death and [...]

A very cool video from Glocal Christianity:

What are other innovative ways you’ve seen the story of the Bible told?

About every couple of months it seems like some hip new way of presenting God’s Word hits the streets. It’s often billed as the most relevant translation ever created and it often makes a lot of Christians groan. So, why then do we always need more versions? Because everyone is different, and despite the Bible’s [...]
