Journal of Sociology and Christianity
The Journal of Sociology and Christianity is designed to provide a forum for the laters research and commentary relative to the intersection of Christianity and society.

I wrote “A Gospel-Centered Approach to Race and Ethnicity” at a conference at TEDS a few years ago, but this autumn it was published in the Journal of Sociology and Christianity

It’s been years since I’ve been to #PCAGA - it was great to see so many old friends.
As I reflect on the time, I was really encouraged by the MNA lunch and so thankful for the leadership of Irwyn Ince.
Yes, there are serious problems in the PCA but God is at work!

I picked this up again after several years and have been reading a couple of chapters each morning
I find myself surprised by scripture again and again as Wright’s translation catches my attention
It’s been a good change from my normal ESV/NIV/CSB rotation
