WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD OF WORLDVIEW

The Resurrection of Mickey Mouse

Okay, so I'm really talking about Walt Disney, the creator of the mousy spokesperson for the well-known, overpriced, theme park. There's a story going on in social media lore that Walt, whose body many believe was frozen, and perhaps even buried beneath the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, will be thawed out, and presumably "resurrected," sometime in December 2021.

The Jesus Bible

Have you ever wondered what Bible Jesus used? Was Jesus's Bible, the Jewish Scriptures, different from the Old Testament we use today? If so, how?

Here’s a summary list I recently gave my students after they watched a couple videos regarding whether we can have confidence in the gospel accounts of the New Testament.

Fundamentalism and Liberalism: Two Ditches To Avoid

Not long ago I tweeted the following, "Both liberalism and fundamentalism are never satisfied. They will always demand more. It will never e enough. If you live for them, prepare to be unhappy." The tweet had a relatively good shelf life, being liked and shared nearly a thousand times. For what social media impressions are worth, it did alright. An…...
