I’ve recently been browsing the Christian blogosphere and have blogrolled a few new interesting blogs recently. I’ve also been reading some good websites, so I’ll say a bit about them in a moment. One of the blogs I’ve discovered is The Blue Fish Project, that of Dave Bish, a UCCF staff worker for South East England, which is full of interesting comment and articles and stuff. I’ve also found Culture Watch: Thoughts of a Constructive Curmudgeon, which is the blog of Douglas Groothius, who wrote the book Truth Decay (among other things).
Focus on the Family have a new student website, TrueU. It seems to be a slightly snazzier repackaging of what they already do with Boundless, but with an added discussion forum and so some more obvious interaction between writers and readers. It’s aiming to be a “community for college students who want to know and confidently discuss the Christian worldview”. Although there’s something of a cultural gap since it’s an American site, it’s still good.
I’ve also been browsing UCCF‘s apologetics site, Bethinking, which has some good articles on lots of different subjects. One exciting development is that they’ve signed a deal with L’Abri (founded by Francis Schaeffer) to put MP3s of their talks online. I was looking recently to see if it was possible to download some of Schaeffer’s talks online, but couldn’t find anywhere to do so. I don’t know whether his stuff will be on there, but I’ve downloaded one talk on The Need for Apologetic Communities which sounds interesting.
By the way, I’ve just passed 7,000 hits since installing a counter at the beginning of the year – yay me!
