Almost two years ago when I posted on another website the original version of what would become the last two posts of my Bibliology and Hermeneutics series, my friend Jeremy Lile took a principled stand against my essay.

I was honored to receive an award from James McGrath at Exploring Our Matrix, who was himself a deserving recipient. The idea is to honor five to seven blogs whose content is considered particularly inspiring. What a hard award for me to give, as I typically don’t frequent blogs I don’t find, in some sense, [...]
