Coming Soon: Faith in the Crossfire What happens when the Christian faith is drawn into a cultural and theological struggle over the nature of truth itself? My forthcoming book, Faith in the Crossfire: When a Dialectical Revolution Targets Christianity, traces the philosophical and theological forces reshaping the church and calls Christians back to the objective truth of Scripture, the authority of divine revelation, and the eternal Logos. After years of research, writing, and revision, the book is now moving toward publication with DeWard Publishing. I look forward to sharing more in the weeks ahead.

“The ‘Woke Right’ has embraced a reactionary dialectic that mirrors the revolutionary impulses it claims to oppose.” Faith in the Crossfire, coming soon.

“Classic Evangelicalism rejects dialectical theology as incompatible with biblical Christianity, while New Evangelicalism embraces it as a tool for institutional and theological revolution, reimagining the Church through the lenses of an academically sophisticated and baptized version of Evangelical Theory and Praxis.” Christianity in the Crossfire, coming soon.

It’s funny how two post-liberals, @yhazony and @Vermeullarmine, whom I have never met nor engaged with have blocked me on this site. These types of actions let me know everything I need to know about these kind of men. Ironically, I’ve even bought and read their books.

My mother’s side of the family was from Ottumwa. I was raised about 40 minutes away from the town. This is obviously shocking. But none of it surprises me. There are some real crazy people in Iowa. If you want to see the real crazy stuff go to Fairfield and talk with anyone from Maharishi International University. It’s an eastern transcendental meditation cult just a very short drive from Ottumwa.

How many people know that William Penn studied with John Owen at Owen’s home? Did you know that Owen influenced Penn’s views of religious toleration, and later religious freedom, as they both stood for toleration of Protestant Dissenters? Owen and Penn stood in close alliance on the issue for the rest of their lives. *** Owen wasn’t always consistent in his approach, even approving the torture of two Quakers.

The LGBTQ movement is not merely seeking acceptance. It is dialectical, turning identity against nature and liberation against created order. The answer is not another revolution, but the Logos who gives reality its meaning. New book coming soon.

Today marks one month since we lost Wrigley. The last 30 days have been unique for us. We had Wrigley about as long as we have been married. We got him at 6 weeks old. He burst onto the scene full of energy and adventure. Wrigley went through months of obedience classes. He served as a therapy dog for a little while. He also loved to go virtually everywhere. This included the park, the lake, downtown, and, like I said, everywhere. Wrigley was the last living connection to my parents too. My father died many years ago, but he was able to see Wrigley at the dog park. Wrigley was so young that he wasn’t even able to swim at that point. My mother died in 2020, and she was able to meet Wrigley. Moreover, Wrigley was even able to meet Molly’s grandmother. In that sense, Wrigley was a generational dog. Our home is much quieter. No longer do I hear the squeak of his toy. No longer do I hear him barking in the backyard. But I will forever remember him. Our other dog is still learning to adapt. For example, the first morning after Wrigley died, I let her out, but she did not run down into the yard for several minutes. Rather, she sat on the porch waiting for her buddy. I had to walk down into the yard with her. Now she runs down with no problems. It all makes sense, though. We got Bailey at 8 weeks old, and she had basically only known life with Wrigley for the past 10.5 years. The reactions to us losing our dog were unique too. I got cards and flowers. Many people gave their condolences. (I also learned that dog people sort of “know” and understand the loss.) One neighbor up the road absolutely loved Wrigley. He would always give our dogs little dog treats every time we walked by. The dogs love this man and get excited every time we walk by. The day Wrigley died, we saw that neighbor and broke the news. He burst into tears. He knew the loss and felt the pain. But a month later, he still gives treats to Bailey, and life moves on. There are countless other thoughts. Maybe even a book in there. But like all things, life does move on. Wrigley may be just another dog. But he was our dog. He shaped our lives in so many ways for the better. For that, I will be forever thankful.

What happens when contradiction is no longer regarded as a problem to be resolved, but as an engine of cultural, political, and theological transformation? Faith in the Crossfire traces the conflict between the Dialectic and the Logos, then offers a defense of objective Christian truth. Coming soon.

Coming soon.

Amen
