Seminary Nerd’s Links of the Week – 9/4/09

The Post Where We Link to Stuff You May or May Not Find Interesting and/or Amusing

Introducing the man behind the links: Seminary Nerd.

Seminary Nerd is a student at a respected Midwestern Seminary. He hopes to be a Bible Nerd when he graduates, but for now he is content with going to classes and passing along the stack of empty pizza boxes that are the Links of the Week.

C.S. Lewis On Broadway (Not Really, But Close)
The works of C.S. Lewis (in particular “The Screwtape Letters”) had an important effect on me in my high school and college years.  I feel like he is a kindred soul, though much smarter and with a better accent. Any of you peeps seen this production?

A Good Man Is Hard To Find….In Church
A touchy subject, but handled well here.  A few years ago, I heard a historian refer to a famous person as a “Muscular Christian.”  I’d never heard that idea before.  But what is the danger of going too far in the other direction?  Has this over correction happened in some places?

A Proper Universalism?
Good thoughts from the esteemed Dr. Armstrong on Colossians 1:19-20.  Even if you don’t like how the word universalism is used in this context, it is hard not to be optimistic about God’s work on this planet based on this verse.  We are not rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

Theological Thoughts on Gravity
No, not “gravity” as in “something serious,” the real gravity.  You know, what your high school science teacher was talking about when you weren’t paying attention.  Mr. RealLivePreacher writes well and the last few paragraphs are worth the price of admission (the price being a relatively looong post).  But, I’d like to have seen some gospel at the end of it.

Careful…You Don’t Want Chewbacca Getting Medieval On Your A##…
This guy has nerve to talk smack about Star Wars!  And as I routinely drink my morning coffee from a Star Trek mug, (drives the ladies wild) I’m none to happy with his next project.
