Abraham Piper wrote a nice post on the importance of being a kind Calvinist. Personally, I've met about as many unkind non-Calvinists as Calvinists, but for whatever reason, the stereotype against Calvinism holds far more weight. (HT: Coram Deo)
Apologist Rob Bowman has entered the blogosphere through Parchment and Pen and his first post is a brief review of Claiming Christ: A Mormon Evangelical Debate. Look to the comments for an interesting exchange between him and Craig Blomberg.
I haven't had a chance to take a serious look at Mike Huckabee, but if anything warrants taking such a look, it's the endorsement of Chuck Norris. This is one of the most brilliant political ads I've seen.
For those who are tired of all the theological debating going on, you might want to look into Theolax. Just be weary of that "heresy" side-affect at the end of the small print!
Some of you were puzzled by a post a did a few weeks ago about Web 2.0 and what it means for Christians. The point was to note that we have an exciting announcement coming up. That announcement will be posted this week, so be sure to tune-in. We will!

Re: In the Scope 11/27/07
I've been reading up on Huckabee and have signed up for his emails. There's a lot to like about him, but (for me) I especially appreciate his sense of humor. He's very self-effacing, which you have to love in any politician. I hope he does well in Iowa.
Re: Re: In the Scope 11/27/07
I'm still not sold on Huckabee, despite Joe Carter's and Matt Anderson's best (and repeated) efforts to convince me. I'm not sure how much of this has to do with the fact that he looks like President Logan.

Mon Dieu! He does look like the evil President Logan. I'm going to have to reconsider...

I'll have to read the Piper piece. I think you're right about how Calvinists get stereotyped. I wouldn't put myself in that camp, though I am influenced by Calvin and Calvinists. When I read or hear Richard Mouw or read Marilynne Robinson's works like Gilead, I think, I could be a Calvinist. They express the warm, embracing side of Calvinism rather than the colder aspects of the Puritan side.
