I love it!  My brother’s latest article has been published in the Catholic Biblical Quarterly! 

“Paul and the salvation of Isreal:  Paul’s ministry, the motif of jealousy, and Isreal’s yes.”  The Catholic Biblical Quarterly, Vol 67, Num.3, p. 469-484.  Murray Baker is a Th.D. candidate at Wycliffe College, Toronto School of Theology. 

Shameless advertizing!  You bet!!! 

Writing

I want to . . . , have to. . . , love to . . . write.  So, I struggle to make sure I’m readable.

Having just begun a blog I’m asking how I’m doing already! 

I remember reading Randall Friesen’s blog.  A while  back he asked the why of writing a blog.  And how do you get people to read your blog.  And who are you really targeting.  I go to his blog everyday – maybe he’s figured some of that out!

Thanks to those who have given feedback.  I’ve gone back and rewritten a few blogs.  I think they are better. 

And in the future, I hope you keep coming back!

Theology is always fun for me.

Not that it is not important.  But it is good to work over in your mind.

So I hope these articles will be helpful

Wisdom, media, culture and the CBC

You find the greatest quips and qotes in the wierdest places.  I thought I would check out what was happening in CBC radio/TV negotiations.  In a section on bargaining context I found the best summary of what is currently happening to our media.

A few quotes:

The web is the ultimate channel surfing environment

Five years ago, reality television barely existed; three years ago, reality was becoming the dominant commercial network format and, today, reality seems to be disappearing in favour of more narrative driven forms.

Television usage and viewing decisions [are] the property of the viewer, not the programmer.

In Toronto and Vancouver, over half of citizens report English as their second language.
