    Keeping Holiday

    Rob Lister — 

    I love reading good childrens literature to my kids. I especially love it when a great narrative for kids comes packaged together with really good theology. Such is the case with Starr Meades Keeping Holiday (Crossway, 2008)a book so satisfying narratively and theologically that we are re-reading it to our kids this holiday season. The best way I can describe it is to say that Keeping Holiday is part Narnia and part Pilgrims Progress for kids.

    My Professor is Wise

    Octavio Esqueda — 

    Several years ago I had a Latin professor who made us memorize a phrase that it has been in my mind ever since. The Latin expression is magister meus doctus est and means my professor is instructed or wise. Obviously, my Latin professor was teasing when he made us memorize that phrase, but in reality, those words describe an important and profound truth. Everybody expects that professors are wise enough to guide their students. It has been commonly assumed that only those who know more can lead others in the right path because we know that nobody can give something without first possessing it. I have been a teacher in different countries and settings for twenty years now and I can testify about the accuracy of this general perception.

    Thanksgiving day 2011 has come and gone. Like many families, it has always been for us a time when the relatives gather together.

    Thinking in Circles about the Bible

    Kenneth Way — 

    One of the best books I have read in the last couple of years is Thinking in Circles (Yale, 2007) by Mary Douglas. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in hermeneutics, literary approaches to the Bible, or the cultural background of the Bible. It is a non-technical read that is filled with fresh and provocative insights, and since it is only about 150 pages, one could read it in just one or two sittings.

    Last week our son, Elijah (7) was given a drawing assignment: copy Sandro Botticellis Madonna of the Pomegranate (c. 1487). Operative word here: copy. Elijah, however, understood interpret.
