blog news

Some of you who have your fingers on the blogosphere pulse will be thinking "keep up!", but for the rest of you, here are some developments in blogworld and webworld that you might like to see.

Dave Bish has set up an unofficial aggregator of the blogs of various people involved with UCCF - students, staff and relay workers over here. There are some great blogs on there, and some of them are on the 'blogs i read' section lower down on this page.

Among other bloggers, Dear Freedom has put up a post about a video of a debate that's been put on the web - it's between Douglas Wilson and Christopher Hitchens - his post on it can be found here, and the video of the debate itself is here. I watched most of the debate this morning having seen a link elsewhere on the blogosphere and Wilson's presuppositional approach is quite helpful. Also, I think I agree with Dear Freedom who says this about Hitchens:

"I think of all the "new atheists" I find Hitchens the most intriguing as he seems to be the one most interesting in discussing things and not just insulting and lambasting the "cognitively defective" that "have faith". You see great evidence of that in his willingness to go to somewhere like Westminster and his desire to engage there."

Thirdly, this is not so much a recent development, in fact I'm pretty sure it's been up and running for a while but I've subscribed to it and am really enjoying it so far. Phillip Jensen, dean of St. Andrew's Cathedral in Sydney does a Bible Study on Tuesday lunchtimes - he's a very gifted Bible teacher - I remember the time he spent with our CU in my second year with great fondness. You can watch these short studies by podcast by clicking here.

Finally, you can join the "grace race" network on Facebook by clicking here. Feel free to post stuff on the wall there - maybe there's something you'd like me to blog about, or maybe you have comments about the blog as a whole as opposed to a specific post - I'd love to hear your thoughts.
