Okay, here we go! It's time to get serious with the blog once again. Not that I don't have lots of stuff to do, but I'm finally through the tunnel. The last few...
Almost done with putting the monotheism manuscript into its final form. Pretty soon, your bloggist will be appearing regularly at his old stand again. In the meantime, here's...
You can consider this entry to be from the "Best of . . . " collection, or a summer rerun. I'm still way too deep into the monotheism manuscript to create new entries,...
This entry is dedicated to my new friends at the Francis Schaeffer Institute. There can be no better illustration for Schaeffer's message on the escape from reason than the...
I haven't been able to do a blog entry, but I've posted a few "Chips from the Workshop" pictures on Facebook, which I'm adding to this entry. Wow, it's hot again! As I...
Okay, I'm back. It took a little longer than I had thought to get the material written in MS-Word converted to usable HTML.If you have not yet read the previous post, "The...
Thanks to all of you who made yourself vulnerable by submitting suggestions on how to solve the ethnological problem I posed. Let me repeat it here before going on. You...
Let me run a puzzle past you and give you a chance to solve it. Wilhelm Schmidt's contribution to ethnology lay largely in establishing a chronological sequence among...
Wednesday, June 13. I had a virtually normal day today, possibly because I have finally implemented the increase in medication Dr. W had allowed a few months ago, should I...
I'm taking a little bit of time away from writing about the culture-historical school to report on my morning's activity. It was a good break. It isn't every day that I...
It's been a not-so-easy ten days or so again. Some physical issues, depression, unnecessary stress. You know, the kind of thing that probably half of my readers...
Once again it's been forever since I last posted an entry. If I wait too much longer, I'm going to have to write another story, or maybe add another full chapter to The...
Wishing all the mothers in the world the honor and recognition that they deserve. Below is a picture of the ultimate in self-sacrificial motherhood--except I don't think...
First of all, an announcement: Today I mailed out the new volume of the Journal of the International Society of Apologetics. Please note: I only sent it out to...
Come break up your week tomorrow night! The Tippy Ditch Trio will be a part of the musical festivities in Converse Indiana. Apparently they have a musical amateur open-mike...
A few items of a personal nature. June finally has health insurance. After my COBRA ran out, I had to wait six months to be eligible for Medicare. Really. That's the rule. If...
Just a few thoughts, though this hasn't been a day for a lot of thinking. It's been a couple of not-so-easy days physically. Intellectually, I've been continuing to burrow...
I'm living right now with E. B. Tylor's Primitive Culture (2 vols., 2nd ed., 1889) and Anthropology (2 vols., 1881). It's the third time around with that material...
This is just a quick note. First, June and I are happy to be home. As always, Poly was happy to see us. (Was that an anecdote about my cat?) The conference was excellent. Once...
:We are on our way home from ISCA. As mentioned yesterday, we decided to break up the trip home, so tonight we're staying in Hannibal, Missouri. You can think of this...
Our first session to attend was with Bill Roach, whom I've mentioned on this blog before, e.g., as co-author with Norm Geisler of Defending Inerrancy. His topic was the...
It's late Friday evening, and I'm writing to you from an Econolodge in Kansas City, near Midwestern Baptist Seminary, this year's location for the annual conference of ISCA,...
