Now this is different

A pop-up screen showed me this new book from Zondervan; The Dude Abides, the Gospel According to the Coen Brothers. I guess that says something about our lives when a most powerful cultural connection to the Good News is a documentary like "Fargo," but I hesitate to speculate on what that message might be.

I'm a big Coen bros. fan. I think they might be in that category of people who Jesus addressed: "You are not far from the Kingdom." This book's authoress is an NPR religion correspondent, writes for a big Chicago paper, and has carved her niche making Evangelicals sound "interesting" to liberals.

You know what I mean. The kind of "interesting" that NPR is so conspicuously self-proud of.
