What “Living Biblically” says about religion and culture today
Great read by Dr. Jim Denison. Enjoy. Television is producing more shows with religious themes, as the sitcom Living Biblically illustrates. The show depicts a lapsed Catholic who is married to an atheist and decides to live by the literal commands of Scripture with the help of a Jewish rabbi and a Catholic priest. I found itContinue reading “What “Living Biblically” says about religion and culture today”

Today, I am reposting an email from Jim Denison. I guess we can’t even buy a baby Jesus stamp this year for fear of offending the few who want the day off, just not the meaning of it.
