Why a blog? 

To increase intelligent discussion of books and ideas that matter is my first reason to blog. Ideas have consequences, and I hope this blog may bear witness, not just to my personal interests, but to how our ideas conform to or pervert the truth. My particular theological/philosophical presuppositions will likely unfold as we interact.

Books, Genres, and Ideas of Particular Interest:

Philosophy/worldviews, theology, Christian apologetics, drama, novels, short stories, history, poetry, biography, non-fiction, and cultural studies.

My life:

I’m husband to CJ; father to Taylor and Jeremiah; a military chaplain; forgiven sinner; follower of Christ; fisherman; avid reader, and writer of ideas that matter.

Studies:

B.A. in English from Western Carolina University (1993); M.A. in English from Western Carolina University (2005); M.Div. from Liberty Seminary (2011); military chaplain; and literature and writing instructor at Belhaven University.
