Can You Hear the Rocks?: June 2011
http://robertewallace.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Can You Hear the Rocks? Tuesday, June 21, 2011. A Time to Reflect. A friend asked me the other day, "So, are you working this summer? The college professor's 9-month contract often inspires such questions). I responded with my usual, "Well, I have an article I want to get together, a book review to write, and a presentation for a national meeting in November. I also have some classes this fall that I haven't taught before. Those syllabi will take some time to get together.". I am grateful to have a job w...

Can You Hear the Rocks?: Four Books that Changed My Life, Episode 2: Texts of Terror

Can You Hear the Rocks? Friday, April 27, 2012. Four Books that Changed My Life, Episode 2: Texts of Terror. For a class, I was scared. I wasn't scared by the "terror" part. I was scared by the "feminist" part. I came to grad school with a conservative world-view: theologically and politically. A "feminist" anything would make me nervous. A "feminist" biblical interpretation? Well, what could be more threatening and dangerous? I owe Trible a great debt. While I don't do feminist hermeneutics, she has...

Can You Hear the Rocks?: God Blessed America, Make Me a Blessing

Can You Hear the Rocks? Wednesday, July 4, 2012. God Blessed America, Make Me a Blessing. On this July 4th, I was thinking of all the ways that God has blessed this country. We have been a country of hard workers and great thinkers, and God has blessed that. We split the atom. We went to the moon. We said "Slavery is wrong! Though we still bear the scars of that commitment. We said, "It is wrong to judge a person by the color of their skin," and we still try to live up to that ideal. God bless the eight ...

Can You Hear the Rocks? Wednesday, March 28, 2012. Four Books that Changed My Life, Episode 1:Lament for a Son. The past few months I have mentioned "Four Books that Changed my Life" in a variety of contexts. It seemed logical for me to take a minute to say a word or two (or four) about these books that have had such a profound impact on me. The first book is the actually the last one that I read. Nicholas Wolterstorff's. Lament for a Son. Lament for a Son. Lament for a Son. Though certainly sad,. Has it...

Can You Hear the Rocks? Friday, May 11, 2012. Four Books that Changed My Life, Episode 3: The Prophetic Imagination. I wonder how many students have had this experience. You encounter an author or idea and as you read the book, you immediately disagree. Clearly, this individual is wrong. Clearly, they don't see the world the way you do. Clearly, they aren't as enlightened. Fortunately, I had worked through my struggles when I encountered The Prophetic Imagination. I once heard Brueggemann say that no one...

Can You Hear the Rocks?: November 2010
http://robertewallace.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Can You Hear the Rocks? Sunday, November 28, 2010. Of course, as the great philosopher Billy Joel reminds us: the good ol' days weren't always good, and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems. Maybe after some reflection, I can say that my life will be just as rich without a cheap DVD player. Maybe the "Buy Nothing Friday". Social justice movement is on to something. Or as the Grinch said, "What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store? What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more? Pretty ef...
