Good Reads

• Tim Gombis was a wonderful post on how to hear a story, very helpful for teaching people how to read a parable.

• Why I Am a Credobaptist: Justin Taylor points out some good resources on believer’s baptism.

• Stephen Prothero argues that ‘Personhood’ Failure Shows Myth of Christian Takeover: “To me, what Mississippi’s voters are telling us is that the New Atheists and the Christian Right both have it wrong. No, the country is not being overrun by crazy Christians. But neither is it being overrun by secular humanists.”
