RIP Alasdair MacIntyre. I will be re-reading After Virtue, 3 Rival Versions and Dependent Rational Animals til I die. My first book emerged out of this passage I read in After Virtue. There I found the language to criticize our obsession with growth and a framework for a better approach to mission.
The spiritual senses are a major theme in scripture that is unaddressed in many Biblical overviews. I include this sidebar in Four Mountains @lexhampress.com to introduce the topic. It's a great way to describe what is happening in the mountain theophanies at Eden, Sinai, Tabor, Zion. a.co/d/bCFE7ko
This is a great ad/synopsis of my forthcoming book in the Lexham Press Summer catalog. The book is arriving in just 3 months! www.amazon.com/Four-Mountai...
My 1000-word review of Ross Douthat's new work. The book will be really helpful for those with almost no religious background. It does bring up interesting questions about Ross's particular stance of Christianity vis-a-vis other religions... www.thegospelcoalition.org/reviews/beli...
The Big Kahuna might be the only major motion picture about personal evangelism ever made.

One of the simplest ways Christians can fight our culture's horrific treatment of the vulnerable elderly is to minister in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. For anyone interested, I help volunteers start worship services within these facilities: heritage-mission.com
I had watched Strawberry Shortcake with our foster daughter years ago. The show embodies a kind of MacIntyrean Collectivism more than just about anything else on television.
Ted I'd be happy to talk today or tomorrow if you are still free...
I will be in San Diego for ETS Wed-Fri. If anyone has suggestions on events/panels to attend, feel free to let me know!
We just started an additional worship service in the memory care unit of the assisted living facility I serve. It was extraordinary to see residents who have been deeply formed by scripture and hymns continue to worship Jesus even with advanced dementia.
Thank you! Yes June 11, 2025 release date...
Thanks for reading Alastair--really appreciate it!
I have been really enjoying all of Jerome's commentaries these days, but I'm not sure if they are "teaching" commentaries?
