Interview with Ryken on ESV Literary Study Bible – II
I started this interview a couple days ago, but then was beautifully interrupted with the birth of our son. Now that we're all home from the hospital, I'll post the second installment of my interview of Dr. Ryken. Do you see this study Bible being used in high school and college courses on the Bible as literature? Dr. Ryken: It became evident early in the editorial process that an evangelical bias was evident in our commentary, even though our focus was on literary issues. Realistically speaking, therefore, while our study Bible is ideally suited for Bible-as-literature courses, it is … [Read more...] about Interview with Ryken on ESV Literary Study Bible – II

The Death of the Grown-Up
Dr. Mohler commends newly released The Death of the Grown-up: How America's Arrested Development Is Bringing Down Western Civilization by Washington Times columnist Diane West. Many other titles have argued that 20 somethings are putting off adult commitments (such as marriage and family) until later in life. Ms. West contributes to this discussion by noting that the converse is also true: older adults today increasingly act like adolescents and identify with adolescent culture. Whereas teenagers of a previous generation took pride in identifying with adult culture, the trend is now the … [Read more...] about The Death of the Grown-Up
