"It's Not a Competition"

Longtime readers may recall that one of my favorite theologians is N. T. Wright. I mentioned hearing him address the annual SBL meeting in San Diego last November.

Oddly enough, he turned up a few nights ago on the Colbert Report. The thought of Steve Colbert interviewing Bishop N.T. Wright seems about as likely as Woody Allen interviewing Billy Graham!! But it made for a interesting conversation nonetheless. Although you do have to wade through a heavy layer of Colbertian snark, it’s still worth it. The topic is heaven and the New Heavens and the New Earth.

Enjoy!





(What?! You mean you didn’t know that Woody Allen DID interview Billy Graham?)

I was always more of a Gary Trudeau and Bill Watterson guy than a Berkeley Breathed guy. But I think Breathed has always excelled at "Big Picture" ideas in the comics. As one example, here's a strip that seems very appropriate given the YouTube focus of today's generation. (you might need to click on it to read it). Or see the original post here.
