In stitches
In Stitches by David Bazan (from his forthcoming album Curse Your Branches).
My body bangs and twitches
This brown liquor wets my tongue
My fingers find the stitches
Firmly back and forth they run
I need no other memory
Of the bits of me I left
When all this lethal drinking
Is to hopefully forget
About you
I might as well admit it
Like I’ve even got a choice
The crew have killed the captain
But they still can hear his voice
A shadow on the water
A whisper in the wind
On long walks my with daughter
Who is lately full of questions
About you
About you
When Job asked you the question
You responded, who are you
To challenge your creator
Well if that one part is true
It makes you sound defensive
Like you had not thought it through
Enough to have an answer
Or you might have bit off more than you could chew
Justice without Faith is Dead
I highly recommend listening to Eugene McCarraher’s lecture “Justice without Faith is Dead” over at The Other Journal. The lecture was given very recently at the Film, Faith, and Justice forum in Seattle, Washington. McCarraher is one of the most creative and compelling social historians working today and he is also a highly conversant theologian in his own right.
New Hauerwas Audio
Here’s another good link, I know, it is not very creative blogging. It is a recent Q&A with Hauerwas on the book of Matthew.
The Stob Lectures: Miroslav Volf
The Director of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture, Miroslav Volf, is a brilliant and original theologian. I read his latest book this summer entitled, The End of Memory: Remembering Rightly in a Violent World and found it quite compelling. The book is largely based on a number of lectures Volf delivered at Calvin College in 2002. You may listen to the Stob Lectures here.
