Christ as Tuning Fork

I have stacks of books sitting at my apartment, weighing down my backpack and peppering my desk. Between school, work and pleasure, my reading can be a bit overwhelming. And so, I've just gotten around to Leonard Sweet's 2010 book Jesus Manifesto. While orientating myself to the book, sifting through a few red-flag assertions (more coming), I came across a worthy statement about Jesus in its introduction:

The striking of the eternal, unchanging tuning fork of heaven took place when a young virgin gave birth to God's only Son in an obscure village in first-century Israel. It stuck again on a never-forgotten Friday, with the pounding of six-inch nails. The fork struck a third time -- on the third day -- when a meek and lowly Nazarene split a tomb wide open and came forth in Resurrection life.

Southern Seminary Magazine

Here is the latest Southern Seminary Magazine. And here is an explanation of the theme and an outline of the featured content. I've written three book reviews which appear in this issue: God's Glory in Salvation Through Judgment, 40 Question About Christianity and Biblical Law and The Faithful Parent (pages 17, 18 and 19). I also have a few other articles inside -- pretty standard stuff.
