I honestly thought this was a spoof. But since evangelicals have become nearly unspoofable – I looked up the festival and found out that this is a real festival and you simply linked to their promo video. Amazing!
Can you direct me to the Scripture passage that mentions the gift of interpreting God’s providential acts in history? I’ve been scouring through my copy of the ESV but so far have been unsuccessful.
Thanks:)
Speaking of Trueman’s new book, Dr. Hart, did you ever get a chance to review the audio (or video) of the chat CT had with the Reformed Forum fellows back when it was about to come out, the one where he used the dreaded R-word (right at the very end of the interview)? At the time I’d inquired here previously, you had yet to read the book, and had not seen the interview. My original question was along the lines of what distinction you think Trueman’s (or anyone else, for that matter) making between regular old, garden-variety 2k-ers, and “radical” ones.
Thanks for your thoughts.
P.S. I enjoyed your Pedestrian post on FPR today. Walking’s perfectly fine, of course, but, might I suggest a Dutch bike for beer runs? If the Philadelphia consistory insists you buy your local brews on a “case-by-case” basis, surely you won’t catch anything just because the bike is Dutch, and you’ll have a hand free for a cigar. (You can’t catch a worldview from a bike, even a Dutch one) -wtb
Bill, I’m working on a review of Republocrat. My sense is that Trueman walks some kind of line (I wouldn’t call it fine) between his own admiration for Oliver Cromwell and his president’s admiration for George Washington.
Thanks for the tip on beer runs. The good thing about walking is that I don’t have to compete with cars except when crossing the street.
Don’t get me wrong. I like the Dutch and our four years in the Wheaton CRC were among the best in our lives. What I take exception to is the creation of sacred cows. And right now in the Reformed world the Dutch are responsible for creating some with huge utters. I recommend Dave VanDrunen’s book for showing implicitly how the Dutch, who failed in the seventeenth century to dominate North America, in the twentieth century succeeded in dominating a much smaller territory — the conservative Presbyterian world.
Thanks, Dr. Hart. If you live in City Center Philly, it shouldn’t be too dangerous riding a bike there. Sidewalk riding would be more dangerous, though, and so to the streets betake you. Of course, so would be sidewalk _walking_ with a case of IPA on your shoulder. The way I see it, it’s a wash. Here’s a link to a Slate article on them, if you can handle the fact that the author’s name is scarily close to Sufjan Stevens (who would likely approve of Dutch Bikes…and Wendell Berry books, btw):

Looking forward to your engagement w/ Republocrat, but I’m still trying to figger out what’s a ‘Radical’ 2k-er, though.
RE: DVD – Which one? The one on Bioethics? He talks about reproduction in that one, eh ;0)

Joseph, links are acceptable if you know how to do it. Don’t expect anyone to read them. Especially don’t expect anti-2kers to understand them.
