Regarding the latest @CTmagazine cover story, christianitytoday.com/ct/2021/januar… my colleagues Jeannine Brown and Mark Strauss @BethelSeminary are on the NIV Bible translation committee. (Yes, Wayne Grudem taught undergraduates at @BethelU from 1977-1981, as did John Piper from 1974-1980).
- Millard Erickson taught at @BethelSeminary from 1969-1984.
- Tom Schreiner also taught at Bethel Seminary from 1986-1997.
Greg Boyd taught theology to undergraduates at Bethel University for 16 years from 1987-2003. He founded Woodland Hills Church in 1992.

Five thoughts on New Year's Resolutions:
1. There are so many good habits we could implement but there are too many for anyone to do all of them well. (See my list in the thread below). So we should be gracious with ourselves and others.
2. The vast majority of our resolutions get drowned out by the noise of life. Life defies discipline and clarity. Life defies planning and organization.
3. As I see the struggles with alcohol and depression, and reports of suicide, and deaths from covid-19, I'm reminded that getting through everyday life—eating, working, relationships, cleaning up, functioning, adulting, surviving—is something to be grateful for.

SBTS (Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) is in Louisville.

I wonder what these politically engaged SBTS professors have tweeted about Breonna Taylor.

After finishing the helpful, and highly acclaimed, "Jesus and John Wayne" by @kkdumez, I'm thinking about the style of the book from a publishing perspective—what has made this book so successful?
- It is brief and dense so it is efficient. That is, readers get a feeling that they are learning quickly. It has been diligently edited to be concise. It keeps the attention of the reader used to reading Twitter or watching YouTube or The Crown or listening to podcasts.
- There is less analysis in the sense of "on the one hand, on the other hand." Instead of telling, there is showing—with example after example, and quote after quote. The effect is the takeaway that this Christian masculinity was not just one person but an ideological movement.

1. Ryan Burge argues that evangelical leaders have little influence on the political beliefs of the masses of evangelicals. I disagree. But evangelical leaders have generally not spoken out about politics, which has led to a vacuum that Fox News filled.

Thread 👇1/24
2. I love the work of Ryan Burge but I am not convinced that evangelical leaders do not influence the rank and file.
3. From the 2004-2020 exit polls, about 16-24% of white evangelicals voted for the Democratic presidential candidate. 74-81% voted for the Republican.
4. Some leaders of some evangelical organizations voted for the Democrat.
5. It does not follow that these evangelical leaders who voted for the Democrat are not influential on the politics of the white evangelicals who voted Republican.

- This happened. See:
- Eric Metaxas is deceived and is deceiving others.
- He has cut off relationship with those who have tried to talk to him.
- At what point does this make Franklin Graham and Cissie Graham Lynch cringe?
- Surely publishers notice.
Today President Trump was talking with Pennsylvania state senator Doug Mastriano who put him on the phone with Eric Metaxas. Yesterday Mastriano tested positive for covid while meeting with Trump.
@JohnFea1
Doug Mastriano and Eric Metaxas are using extreme, militant, blood-thirsty language. Mastriano wrote an inaccurate book about a war hero. Metaxas wrote an inaccurate book about a martyr. They are who Trump talked to today.
