But I am back, and hope to continue with bi-weekly postings. One of the things I would like to do is provide reviews of films from a Christian perspective. And so on [...]]]></description>

First up is Coraline, by respected fantasy writer and graphic novelist Neil Gaiman. I confess myself a fan of Gaiman, whose Stardust [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Wallis&#8217;s first official chapter is called “Revival Time,” and it repeats most of what was covered in the introduction, though in somewhat more detail. One of the things I have noticed about Wallis is that he brings up a topic like “social justice,” says that it is important and he&#8217;ll get into the details [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ We begin our look at Wallis&#8217; book proper in the introduction, which is essentially the ideological equivalent of a drive-by. A lot of faces go by, there is a lot of noise, and when it&#8217;s over we wonder what exactly the point of the exercise was.
 He opens the introduction like he does in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nobody seems to be interested in dealing with the works of Jim Wallis, so I suppose it falls to me. Of course, part of the problem might be that almost no evangelicals have heard of Jim Wallis. You can try it at home. Next time you&#8217;re at church, ask anybody if they&#8217;ve heard of him.

		<description><![CDATA[Modern liberalism is essentially secularism in thinly veiled religious garb, and its salvation is a distinctly secular, though largely pagan, program. Alternateively, in much of Africa and Latin America salvation is depicted in terms of a violent socialist revolution (&#8221;liberation theology&#8221;) designed to overturn the imperialism and capitalism (real or imagined) of society. Salvation is [...]]]></description>

So I made one myself in response (it&#8217;s pretty gruesome, but that&#8217;s the point):

Meanwhile, in my absence, I&#8217;ve done a few fun things that make for fun edu-muh-cation. In particular, John Granger, better known as the Hogwarts professor - one of the leading literary authorities on Harry Potter [...]]]></description>
