[Challies Dot Com - Informing the Reforming] 9 Minutes with Frank Turk | Challies Dot Com: See: the only thing we have is a man who came and chastised the religious people - the liberals and the conservatives - for thinking they were safe, and for making God someone who owes them something. He said they were leading people not to the gates of heaven but to programs, and activities, and things they called discipleship - but he said this made those people twice as much a child of hell, and they have the gates of Heaven shut in their faces.

[TheologyNetwork.org - Latest Resources] Theology Network - The Bible - John's Gospel: Good News for Today: And there is certainly a lot of truth in it: it is true, for example, that John is a fine literary artist: his stories are vivid, and full of almost humorous irony, whether in John 3 where Jesus challenges the bewildered Jewish teacher that he needs 'to be born again', or in John 4, where he takes the Samaritan woman from the question of literal water in the well, on to the question of spiritual water and spiritual worship, on to the question of her own personal messed-up life, and on to the question of who Jesus is, or in John 9 where the healed blind man taunts the Jewish authorities about their inability to make sense of his healing. It is also true that John offers us an interpretation of Jesus, not just a blind tape-recording of events.

What was originally dismissed as an American problem by the Vatican then became a problem of English speaking countries and now even though they have not yet admitted it, it is a global problem.

[Balloon Juice] Balloon Juice » Blog Archive » Baby Ruth: I couldn’t make myself read it, but Kaplan Liberal Ruth Marcus had a column earlier this week explaining that high taxes on the rich are no way to fix the deficit. Once again, I quote Atrios, respectable opinion runs the gamut from The New Republic to Free Republic.

[Untitled] From the Lighthouse BlogSojourners Founder Jim Wallis ...: This “pseudo-Christian” morality-based religion for the last days is infiltrating every corner of American society, and the church seems to have either lost the will to identify and counteract its influence or perhaps feels so guilty about it’s mega-excesses that it is operating out of a sense of works rather than repentance and grace. Wallis’ book is the most preachy, shaming, finger-pointing rant I have ever read;

As for the Prof Kaveny’s attempt on an earlier post to link Waddell in a guilt by association with Mark Shea, they are friends because they at one time belonged to the same parish, I believe.

[The Golden Rule] Gospel Communities? « The Golden Rule: Esler, Sim).  Otherwise, why the plurality of Gospels in the first place and their being preserved if not that some groups were receptive to one work and others not?  Seen as addressing a local audience makes sense of various features of Mark.  Mark’s anonymity may be explained as the audience was already familiar with his identity as well as named characters such as the sons of Simon of Cyrene Alexander and Rufus (omitted in Matt/Luke).  Mark is fairly enigmatic (assumes detailed debates over halakhah, the title “the Son of Man”, insiders who can see versus outsiders who cannot [the theory of parables, the healing of the blind man]) and much of his advice seems to reflect the local situation of his audience (emphasis on persecution real or perceived in synagogues and before rulers and governors, the call to the reader to understand the ”abomination of desolation” and to flee to the mountains).  It may be impossible to narrowly define the community intended behind the Gospel (though is there really that much difference with debates on the historical Jesus, Paul’s view on the Law or the host of other issues that keep scholars writing and PhD theses being produced), but that Mark intended his Gospel for a local address first and foremost is strongly supported.   In the end, Bauckham may well be right that Mark may have hoped to reach not only a single community but also Christians far and wide with his “good news of Jesus Christ”
