Interesting article I saw on MSN today. An author decided to follow the Bible strictly (worded commands and rules and such) for a year.

There seems to be a great interest in religion and fundamentalism in our culture right now. Why do you think that is?
As far as I can see it, it goes in waves. Now it seems like the third great awakening. Is that right? I’ve forgotten my encyclopedia knowledge. But I do think we’re going through a wave right now. You certainly see it with Islam. I think it’s ebbed a little bit because the atheist movement is creating backlash against the religious movement, so it might have peaked a year ago. But it’s certainly the defining issue of our time. I hope the book will appeal to both the sacred and the profane. |
