You might have noticed some new links to the right. Of particular note is the freshly-posted Part 2 of my "Christian Worldview and Changing Culture" series presently appearing in October edition of Christianity & Society (published by the Kuyper Foundation in England). This new posting includes the section on "Worldview as Worship" that is one of the more insightful pieces I think I've authored. My hope is to complete the last 6 chapters before the end of the year (not likely, really) and eventually have the whole thing published after the final installment, Part 3, appears in the Spring 2006 edition.
On another note, today I received from the library the first two video tapes of Lord Kenneth Clark's series, Civilisation. Recommended by my esteemed friend and colleague, Clay "The Dog" Biggs, this 13-part series aired on the Beeb in 1969 and covers the whole history of Western Civilization. I have no doubt that it provided a working model for Francis Schaeffer's How Then Shall We Live? series in the mid-70s. It is not probably legal, but I'm going to digitize them this week for my future personal use (just like I did the Schaeffer series, which unfortunately is not available in DVD format; yes, I did buy the videos, and it is legal to make one backup copy for yourself).
With that said, let me also announce that Malcolm Muggeridge's The Third Testament is now available as a free ebook. The video is impossible to get ahold of, so the book might have suffice. Mr. Biggs informs me that the book is the narrative from the video (again, just like Schaeffer did with How Then). In this sweeping survey, he covers Augustine, Blake, Pascal, Tolstoy, Bonhoeffer, Kierkegaard, and Dostoevsky. WOW!! What more do I have to say, other than read it today!
Finally, for those of you who have asked, yes I am going to continue my series on the Western roots of Islamic terrorism. I've submitted an outline of the projected book to a publisher, so I should have a summary complete this week sometime. I'll be sure to post it, along with some more photos.
