Devotions: “In-spite-of” Wisdom

April 13, 2014 by Carl Shank 1 Comment

“For you bring some strange things to our ears. We wish to know therefore what these things mean.” Now all the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there would spend their time in nothing except telling or hearing something new. So Paul, standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: “Men of Athens, I perceive […]

Headed to Graduate School: Witness in the Academy

August 9, 2012 by Rick Mattson 2 Comments
