| State of the Blog |
As regular readers may easily observe, this blog has become little more than a journal of “What I’m Reading Now.” I don’t really know why I started blogging, but it has become for me a stimulus to thought, and for the last six months, as I’ve posted every day, a means of disciplining myself to continue regular reading. I think this is a good purpose, and one I’d like to refine a bit.
Rather than simply rambling through one book after another, with no apparent rhyme or reason, I’m thinking of devoting each weekday to a theme. For example, I have several books I want to read on such subjects as the Canon of Scripture, textual criticism, hermeneutics, etc, so one day could be devoted to Bibliology. Church history could be one, and current issues another (for example, I still need to finish The Courage to be Protestant).
This is where you, gentle reader, come in. I will entertain your suggestions of possible categories or themes. What topics interest you? Leave your suggestions in the comments or email me here. Your input is appreciated.

I like to learn about missions, and missionaries. Men like William Carey, and other servants of the Lord in the past, and even modern day men like George Verwer.

I suggest writing a "how to be a Christian" book in your own style - you could submit episodic entries weekly.
Even So...
Good Friday's - discussion of the truths surrounding redemption, atonement, propitiation, expiation, results, heresies regarding atonement, etc.

I clicked through to suggest soteriology, but I see that Even So has already done that. So that's two votes for that one.
Actually, I think I'll vote for missions, too, as long as I'm here.
Unfortunately, I have nothing new to add.

Hmm, soteriology . . . Sorry, I looked it up, but I couldn’t find it.
Daniel, that (How to be a Christian) is a dangerous suggestion. I could go Bill Gothard on you.

I do love all David Wells on Postmodernism(Is that a somewhat overused term these days?)
O -and please do something on Eschatology-what a lively discussion that would fire up!
David
Victoria, I will most likely not be doing eschatology any time soon. This is why. Sorry.

I looked it up, but I couldn’t find it.
Oh boy.... :)
