In honour of the recent fascination with dispensational theology we travel back in time to the glorious era of Christian comics, all things Rapture and slightly sexy Christian girls--to say nothing of the hilarious use of words!

I'm listening to...
Dynamite Steps
Twilight Singers: Dynamite Steps
More dark, brooding mood swings from Dulli's side project--like it.Graduation Ceremony
Joseph Arthur: Graduation Ceremony
Arthur hasn't released a full-length studio album in a while. This one doesn't disappoint--sure we've heard some of these melody lines before, but for my money he remains one of the most under-rated singer-songwriters out there--this one may not win him any wider of an audience unfortunately---it should, but nobody said the mechanisms of pop culture were just or fair.Rome
Danger Mouse: Rome
Nothing if not prodigious and experimental--Danger Mouse goes all Italian-movie soundtrack on us with this colaboration with Daniel Lippi--guest vocals from Jack White and Norah Jones--the good the bad and the danger mouse.
I'm reading...
David Tacey: Gods and Diseases: Making sense of our physical and mental wellbeing
Breaking free of a dependency upon modern medicine to alleviate social ills and addictions by turning to spirituality--meaning-making--is part of Tacey's thesis. I am with him on so much of what he has to say.John Milbank: Paul's New Moment: Continental Philosophy and the Future of Christian Theology
I am revisiting Paul in my own theological journey so I had high hopes for this. It's a good read essentially reading Paul through a continental philosophical lens-like most books of this ilk--a bit of a slog, at least for me, but worth it.Glenn O'Brien: How To Be a Man: A Guide To Style and Behavior For The Modern Gentleman
Glenn O'Brien has had a quite unique life. Editing Andy Warhol's Interview magazine, had a cult-followed cable tv show in 80s NYC and now, among other things, is the Style Guy for GQ magazine. This book is a series of essays on what O'Brien thinks on what it means to be a man. It's full of informative, thoughtful, funny and helpful--so be a man and read this book--then go buy a suit!
