Come and Go With Me: Finding Grace in the Gutter
Dwarves, as a rule, are a rather recalcitrant lot. It was their stubborn refusal to follow directions that caused some of them to suffer the indignity of being turned into dufflepuds, in C.S. Lewis’ The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. … Continue reading

What distinguishes the believer from the non-believer?
Right from the get-go we have something of an epistemological/ontological problem. There are differences that are easier to see, and differences that are more central, but harder to discern. On the ontological side the whole of the order of salvation, … Continue reading
