Not another book on the Reformation!
March 8, 2007
Goodness me! Steve Nichols has produced yet another book on the Reformation: The Reformation: How a Monk and a Mallet Changed the World (Crossway). Come on people, get with the program -- the kids of today don't want to hear about grace, Christ, scripture, salvation, Christian freedom, service and self-sacrifice for God and for neighbour, and the joys of justification by faith. Can't we just draw a line under all that stuff and move one??? I mean, the kids of today want to know about useful and relevant stuff like Starbucks, iPods, Christian body-piercing, and the lasting influence of Kurt Cobain in a post-literary world (as explained in my latest book, Starbucks, iPods, Christian Body-Piercing and the Lasting Influence of Kurt Cobain in a Post-Literary World, available from Baudrillard-Jones Press, with foreword by Rev Dave Trendy (incidentally, this week's Christianity Today poll indicates that Dave is now one of the 47 most important Christians since the beginning of time, up from 50 last week). I mean, come on , Steven, Luther's irrelevant -- a dead white male who never made a single decent album. How different to Cobain can you get?
