Personification. With me, it’s more than just a hobby. It’s a way of life.
I’m reasonably sure that there are entire blogs being developed to prove that I am mentally ill, “dangerously unstable,” without sufficient assurance of faith to be truly converted and unfit for the ministry. The fact is, I do have one serious problem […]

The Internet Monk and Boar’s Head Tavern web sites received a real compliment today. Both were added to the “Theology” sidebar at Douglas Wilson’s site, Blog and Mablog.
As one of the BHT fellows said, Wilson is the kind of person who can say, “I disagree with you, but we are fellow Christians talking about what […]

Internet Monk Radio Podcast 13. I’m a “Modernist Victorian.” Convert Me. Back to School. Reactions to Doubting post. Ravi. (The mic is a little quirky on this. I’ll do better next time.)

“Michael, do you ever doubt your Christian beliefs?”
Yes. I do. In fact, I’ve written an entire essay on the subject of my personal doubts: I Have My Doubts. It’s an IM favorite. While it’s more confessional than comprehensive, it does address the subject of doubt, the depth of doubt, and the path of my own […]

My half-sister, Peggy Ann Spencer Head, passed away this week, and our family just returned from the funeral. Peggy was more like an aunt or a cousin to me, but we always had a warm relationship. Her oldest son, David Head, has been a wonderful friend and colaborer in ministry for many years. I was […]

Internet Monk Radio Podcast #12 Sorting through your traditions. A hot post at Adverseria. History of the dog.
Posted in Recommendations and Reviews on August 9th, 2006 3 Comments »
Alastair at Adversaria has written a detailed, important and comprehensive post on Why is Wright Misrepresented and Misunderstood by so many of his Reformed Critics? It’s a monster of good post that you must read if you are interested in Bishop Wright’s contribution to theology and the judgement of many in the reformed community that […]

BHT fellow and soon to be philosophy professor Joel Hunter penned this stinging piece of satire (that’s SATIRE) about the man who really needs to be held responsible for all these postmodern, missional, contemplative woes. It’s missionary statesman and missional thinker Lesslie Newbigin. Read and be shocked. (SATIRE AHEAD.)
While we’re measuring one another for our […]

My son Clay asked me the other day, “What do you mean by post-evangelical?” That deserves a good answer.
Let’s start with this: By evangelical, I do not mean, as some on the Internet have labored to prove, a line of Christianity extending from the Reformation through Calvinism to a handful of modern day independent Baptist […]

Since Mark Driscoll clearly bothers some people to the point of issuing ultimatums and accusations that are utterly fantastic- like claiming Driscoll started Emergent and is to blame for all its worst tendencies- I’ll rerun my piece on “Why Mark Driscoll Bothers You,” plus a few other relevant oldies but goodies.
Read “Why Mark Driscoll Bothers […]

Ann Out Of Place
This afternoon I listened to Ann Coulter being interviewed on TBN. Not CNN. TBN. The Paul Crouch/Jan Crouch fashion show and soap opera that you can’t look away from. Yes, that TBN. The one with Creflo, Joel, General Joyce, Kenneth and Gloria, Kim, Matt and hundreds of very, very uncool people with […]

UPDATE: I believe I will have an iTunes feed shortly. When someone gets it, let me know.
The IM/BHT web sites are currently in a technical geek crunch. (That means the guys who help me are just not able to help much at present.)
So, I would love to have the podcasts on iTunes, and I know […]

Internet Monk Radio Podcast #10. A man is in my car. A big, empty church building. I hate what I write.

We’ve had a bit of an income shift this year ***ahem*** so I need to make some changes in my book-buying habits. I’m one of those fish caught in the ease of the Amazon “One-Click” purchase system, and I’ve got a lot of books on my shelves that I will never read because of it. […]
