Book Review of The Children of Men and a Poem and Photo--In catapult
This issue of catapult is related to the incarnation and the importance of our bodies.
It includes an article describing some truly postmodern, yet not irreverend, takes on manger scenes.
And a wonderful article on learning the value and uses of touch.
My article is a book review of The Children of Men which is soon to be made into a movie. I would encourage you to read the book, though, as the movie looks to be reconfigured quite a bit and I am unsure as to how much of the Christian worldview expressed in the book will survive in the movie. Still, watch the movie too as it looks to be a good one. For a good review of that, check Jeffrey Overstreet's blog some time after Christmas. Check it now if you want to get in on a thoughtful Christian examining the movies.
I also have an advent poem in this issue which is older and a bit archaic, but which I still like. And there is a photo from the previous issue of catapult taken on a wet and windy night, which first appeared on this blog.
