The point of this podcast is pretty broad — “All of Christ for all of life.” In order to make that happen, we need “theology that bites back.” I want to advance what you might call a Chestertonian Calvinism, and to bring that attitude to bear on education, sex and culture, theology, politics, book reviews, postmodernism, expository studies, along with other random tidbits that come into my head. My perspective is usually not hard to discern. In theology I am an evangelical, postmill, Calvinist, Reformed, and Presbyterian, pretty much in that order. In politics, I am slightly to the right of Jeb Stuart. In my cultural sympathies, if we were comparing the blight of postmodernism to a vast but shallow goo pond, I would observe that I have spent many years on these stilts and have barely gotten any of it on me.

In Which Russell Moore, Mike Cosper, Clarissa Moll, and Your Humble Servant Have a Frank Exchange of Views
Last week, the Christianity Today podcast devoted some time to the CNN interview. Moore was “enraged” by the fact that there will be so many non-Christians who will watch the CNN interview and think that “this is Christianity.” Now I do grant that what I am talking about is not Christianity Today. It is more like . . . I don’t know . . . Christianity yesterday. In other words, CT’s embarrassment is embarrassment over the teaching of Scripture, and over the uncomfortable presence of some Christians who are not so easily embarrassed.
