As you can see, things have been quiet on the Canon front for the last couple of weeks.
Heaven Misplaced arrived just in time for us to mail them out before Christmas, but since then, we’ve been laying low—enjoying the holidays and trying not to get swept away by the chaotic weather patterns that seem intent on testing our wintry limits.
But 2009 is here, which means that we’re gearing up for some new books, new audio products, and new directions for Canon. Stay tuned: you’ll hear it here first.
Before I get back to my emails and other work, I have a couple of links to share with you.
First, I was remiss and did not link to the Discerning Reader review of A Primer on Worship and Reformation when it was first published. Mark Tubbs wrote a fantastic review, and I’m not just saying that because he recommends the book. He openly admits that he is not “on the same page theologically or methodologically with everything Wilson lays out in this book,” but sees A Primer on Worship as a thought-provoking title primarily concerned with asking questions that the reader cannot afford to ignore.
Second, Books & Culture has published an article by Nate Wilson titled “A Collision of Lives” (available both in the print version and online here). Written while Nate was tagging along on the recent East Coast book tour, the article offers a look at what it was like to see Pastor Wilson and Christopher Hitchens hang out for three days. It’s a wonderful read (Nate really knocked it out of the park) and also gives you an idea of what the upcoming documentary will be like.
Frankster, gracias – halfway through the B&C article, and I agree with you – it rocks.
Frank,
That’s very kind of you to say about my review, although I would humbly classify it as a COULD-SEE.
Additionally, we at DR were much more remiss for posting the review, then un-posting it for over two weeks, than you were for omitting to link to it. After all, for a while there was nothing to which to link.
