Russ Moore and the Benedict Option

[Stephen Fox]

Author Dreher invoked Moore's name twice as a way forward in a stellar panel over the weekend on booktv.org

Meanwhile I have taken up the conversation with Rod on his facebook wall.

My first inclindation is dismiss all this as a revamped version of Timothy George's Manhattan Declaration as First Things Mag is a driving force, but Michael Wear Response on Booktv elevates its significance somewhat even with my misgivings with all the attention given to Moore.

But also give this link careful consideration in tandem with Booktv which is the best of the best.

Religion dispatches has also taken exception to some elements of Dreher's thesis.

Everything I know about Todd Starnes suggests he is prototype of the serpentine Paul Pressler. Native of Memphis also a disciple of the demagogue Adrian Rogers.

Todd claims the cosmopolitan savvy of Erma Bombeck, Art Buchwald and Lewis Grizzard in his Cspan 2 booktv weekend platform.

Mendacity and distortions, Bad for America as Ted Koppel would say
