		<title>Perhaps I&#8217;m Missing Something</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is something going on in Christian forums and comment threads these days that I understand but don&#8217;t want to believe.
Having spent the better part of a year hanging out at one forum in particular - Theologica - and the blog closely connected with it &#8211; Parchment &#038; Pen &#8211; I keep witnessing this something [...]]]></description>

		<title>Higher Criticism and Catfish for the Rest of Us</title>
		<description><![CDATA[NOTE: I recently wrote the following series elsewhere and thought I should bring them over here, too.  They are in inverse order here for the purpose of making reading through them easier.
___________
In the erudite and ethereal discussions that tend to pop up around here now and then, people use terms such as &#8220;historical-critical method,&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Form Criticism and Catfish</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Form Criticism (FC), you will remember, examines the previous forms a document might have been in prior to what is now in front of us. We know, for example, that prior to the synoptic Gospels being written they existed in an oral form. FC looks at the effect previous forms have upon the final product.

		<title>Source Catfish Criticism and the Rey Text</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I earlier defined Source Criticism as a discipline that seeks to find other documents, both real and hypothesized, that might have been used by a writer in producing the text we have. It has its own unique contributions to the study of our text,

		<title>Redacted Catfish and Stove Top Criticism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The final stage of composition for our text -
I started cooking too late tonight and it&#8217;s too cold and dark out to turn on the grill. Does anyone have a CatFish [sic] recipe for stove top or oven?!!? I hope people are online.
- necessitates our discovery of the influence of the individual author upon the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Europeans + Indians = Americans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I gleaned the following, with a few minor changes for style only, from Robert Pirsig&#8217;s book Lila.  It seems important to me at numerous levels.

What follows is a portion of a speech made by Ten Bears, a Comanche Chief, at the Medicine Lodge Council of 1867, to the assembled tribes and especially to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Maturing in Christ: Our Role in Sanctification</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After reading this, I asked a question about this matter on a discussion I began, realizing even as I asked the question that I was not being nearly specific enough to limit the exchanges to the rather narrow corridor of thought I was going down myself. And while this post won&#8217;t answer my question definitively, [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Whadda ya got?&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back in The Day, when shoulder-length hair on young men wasn&#8217;t a fashion but a declaration, people who were not Freaks would come up to us with a genuinely bewildered look on their faces. An exchange similar to the following would take place:

Them: &#8220;What are you so angry about? What are you rebelling against?&#8221;&#8216;

		<title>How the church lost me and men like me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There were giants on the earth when I grew up. Not the nephilim kind of giants, but the larger-than-life-heroes kind of giants.
There are many to choose from but, since I&#8217;m listening to him sing Drowned as I write this, I&#8217;ll focus on Pete Townshend, the genius behind The Who. The particular version is from The [...]]]></description>

		<title>3.  When Theology and Love for God Collide</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As the narrator travels west, he begins the long climb across the high plains of the Great Plains to the Rock Mountain Range beyond. As the high country approaches, he contemplates his inner conflicts and experiences. He says,
