Recommended Eyeball Resters
I enjoy The Sandman, a comic book published by DC, and written by Neil Gaiman. It's very well written and the story is dense with resonances to myth and legend. Annotations for every issue are available. While The Sandman has finished it's run, it is available in trade paperback editions.
Other good comics that I read include
Tales of the Beanworld (see my Beanworld MtG expansion), Tom Strong,
and Cerebus.
I have a whole site about Science Fiction author Gene Wolfe. Check it out, especially my blog news page. I also recommend Cordwainer Smith and Charles Williams for some of the more mind-bending speculative fiction available.
Theological Writings
Some papers I wrote for a seminary class at Philadelphia Theological Seminary (Reformed Episcopal) taught by Ray Sutton are available here. The latter was a paper I did for myself, to give to my session.
It would be easier for me to be less skeptical of Christian social justice teaching if it didn't contain things that seem contradictory
Christians should never base arguments on what they should be doing based on worldly economic arguments. Do we not have a God that owns the cattle on a thousand hills? That knowledge should free us up to not worry about how immigrants may affect the economy, but allow us instead to worry about how we can fix the issues that have pushed them into their situation, and care for them in the midst of it.are't those same "issues" inextractably part of "worldly economic arguments"?
