I mentioned the outcome of this
recent court case this a.m.
In a decision just before Christmas, the Sixth Circuit ruled against
the ACLU in a Ten Commandments case saying that the Constitution does
not require a wall between church and state and okaying a display of
the Commandments on government property. The ruling had some harsh
things to say to the ACLU. For a summary and some possible effects see
Captain's
Quarters.

We recently pointed to a
Christianity
Today review of George Barna's new book, Revolution.
The Barna web site provides its own summary of the the book's thesis and findings here. Wesleyan Keith Drury provides his no-holds barred opinion here, and joins with two colleagues in a more systematic critique here (hat tip to brother Ken).

We have discussed the spiritual
journey of novelist Anne Rice at the table, and she has been in the
news recently because of the publication of her novel on the boyhood of
Jesus. Now Leadership University has put together one of their special features
providing commentary about the theology in the novel and about Rice's
journey.
If you are not familiar with the abundance of resources made available by Leadership University, check it out here. Use the search function for some topics that interest you and see what turns up. This resource has been added to the links under "Faith and Culture" at the ebenezer blog.
Hollywood's Misunderstood Terrorists

My favorite historian Victor
Davis Hanson turns movie critic by comparing what we know with
what Hollywood would have us believe in some of their recent
productions.
When terrorism goes to the movies in the post-Sept. 11 world, we might expect the plots, characters and themes to reflect some sort of believable reality. But in Hollywood, the politically correct impulse now overrides all else. Even the spectacular pyrotechnics, beautiful people and accomplished acting cannot hide it. . . . |
