...faith needs someone who can defend its tenets in the argot of the day. Bell does this effortlessly. The question now is whether he can sell his approach to the rest of Evangelicalism or whether, as Christianity Today editor Andy Crouch puts it, he will "remain more of a singular rock star in the church world...
...Some of Wong's rawness was tempered in Unmarked Treasure (2004) and Like a Seed with Its Singular Purpose (2006) - two volumes praised for their probing, reflective study of love and desire.

According to Penn—a former Crimson editor and the Clinton campaign strategist who in 1996 identified “Soccer Moms” as a key voting demographic—the 75 groups...
...would hate to limit my role as an educator to this pedantry, and thankfully, I don’t. Rural teachers, as singular resources in isolated communities, are too important to reduce their impact to a five-step lesson plan. Indeed, my Math Club kids don’t stay two hours after school to listen to me lecture. They want me and Mr. Agrawal, a chemical engineer from Columbia, to make learning fun, one Farmer Bob problem at a time...
