How To Know Your Mind Style
In our faculty orientation last year, we had the opportunity to have a workshop with Dr. Kathy Koch (“cook”) about Mind Styles. I’ve been meaning to blog on it for over a year now but just kept talking about other things instead (which says something about my Mind Style). Anyway, I found the program extremely helpful…

How To Review A Book Triperspectivally
In addition to providing weekly book reviews, I’ve also had my share of “meta-discussions” on the subject. Sometimes it’s not enough to just review books, we have to also talk about reviewing books and in an inceptionesque sort of way “review the reviewing of books.” So, once upon a time, I explained to you how…

Biblical Hermeneutics: Five Views

How To Tell A Puzzle From A Mystery
Two weeks ago I introduced Malcolm Gladwell with his bibliography. Last week I gave you some food for thought from Blink, and now we’ve got some more thought snacks from What the Dog Saw. Unlike Gladwell’s other books, this one is a collection of essays published elsewhere rather than a coherent narrative. How To Tell…
