Thursday digest
New today from the Century:
- Philip Jenkins on Africa's canon within the canon: "Here is my unscientific rule: if Martin Luther treated a biblical book
with disdain, then that book is really popular in
modern Africa." (subscription required) - Steve Thorngate encounters a good-natured protest drummer: "At the corner waiting for the light to change, I stood next to a
protest drummer who fit the stereotype well: unshorn, unkempt and not
much over 20. While he drummed away, a man in his 60s joined us at the corner. This man was dressed crisply and professionally." - David Heim highlights Century contributing editor Jason Byassee's article on Nadia Bolz-Weber and the House for All Sinners and Saints: "An outreach innovator,
Bolz-Weber is a traditionalist when it comes to matters of liturgy and
theology. She appears to have a special attachment to the doctrine of original
sin."
