Random Stuff for the Week of 10/28-11/3

* The Pearcey Report, an online culture forum by Nancy and Richard Pearcey is a great online source of information for the Christian worldview. Many of you might know Nancy as the author of Total Truth: Liberating Christianity from Its Cultural Captivity. Check out the wealth of information afforded you at this salient site. * David Heddle (He Lives) has challenged Phil Johnson (Pyromaniac) on his description and definition of hyper-calvinism. Probably there is not another topic that is so hot-button and misunderstood as this. Edificatory discourse on this matter is always helpful, especially in the midst of some much reckless rhetoric. * I have been posting several of my photos from my backpackin' trip and wondering whether or not to continue posting them on P&P. What do you think? If I take them off, you can, of course, find them on my flickr page. Does the images enhance P&P or make it too busy? * From childhood, I have always been a big fan of maps and atlases. Earlier this week, my father gave me a link to Google Maps Mania, an unofficial blog of all kinds of neat maps of all kinds of things. Peruse through the links on the toolbar or glance at some of the posts and check out the fun things maps can bring. **** Blog of the Week **** Out of Our Minds Too (Tim Bayly) Tim Bayly has a very clean and easy-to-navigate blog which covers a wide smattering of topics, all of which are good reads. A couple of recent topics which Tim has covered is the controversy/debate on baptism, the feminization of the church, and Doug Wilson's response to N.T. Wright and paedocommunionism. Frequencing his blog would be well worth your time. That's all folks! Hope you have a great weekend! - t.n.b.
