"The past quarter century has witnessed a plethora of study Bibles based on a corresponding array of new versions and translations. As excellent as many of them are, the ESV Study Bible is certain to take its place as the premiere work of its kind. Produced by a galaxy of evangelical scholars representing a broad geographical and ecclesiastical horizon, this tour de force of its genre is replete not only with clear and cogent notes on the biblical text but it provides in addition scores of articles on topics such as theology of the Old Testament, introduction to the Pentateuch, reading the ...

Matthew Hoskinson:Max McLean, narrator of the Listener's Bible, will be in Chicago next month for a series of performances of C. S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters. Lewis' classic is composed of a series of letters from a senior demon to his nephew. With diabolic insight, the elder demon instructs his charge concerning the best ways to fight the Enemy (i.e., Christ) and destroy the Christian. It is a thought-provoking work.I've heard McLean in person twice, both at the Ligonier Pastors Conference.

Slate's Mickey Kaus:What we're witnessing, I think, is the death of a media paradigm that we lived with comfortably for, oh, the last year or two. And John Edwards is to blame! Here's the relevant typology:Model One: There's the press, and the public. The press only prints "facts" that are checked and verified. That's all the public ever finds out about. The press functions as "gatekeeper."Model Two: Model One broke down with the rise of blogs, which (along with tabloids and cable) often discuss rumors that are not "verified."

I think readers of this blog know that I have an interest not only in politics--but also in journalism, and how the two intersect. (If you share that interest, Get Religion is great for coverage on religion and reporting.)In an email exchange yesterday with a dear uncle--who has been a member of the MSM [Mainstream Media] for decades--I mentioned my prediction that the idea of "liberal bias" in the press will now be forever linked with the name "Sarah Palin."
