May 18, 2008 — Wayne Muller – The Rhythm of
the Christian Life
Deuteronomy 5:12
According to Holy Scripture, God built rhythm into the universe. Work and rest
were meant to be fair players with one another. Something happened to this
rhythm along the way, however. Rest got bumped to the periphery and work assumed
center stage. Author and minister
Wayne Muller
reflects on how effectively we keep – and do not keep – the Sabbath commandment.
Host Peter Marty looks at the distinctive rhythm of the Christian life.
May 25,
2008 — Stephen Prothero – Religious Illiteracy
John 13:17
Stephen Prothero
has conducted an interesting study of religious literacy in
America. What he has found is that while many people have a deep
faith and a gut sense of spirituality, their Biblical and
religious knowledge is very scant. In other words, their faith
is formed more on feeling and sentiment than accurate knowledge
of valued sources. Prothero is chair of the religion department
at Boston University and author of the book Religious Literacy.
