Post 140—Muzzling the Gospel at Christmas

    

Jonathan Chaplin is a brilliant British Reformational or Calvinistic philosopher who is much sought after as an international speaker and whose writings are spread far and wide. He wrote a most humorous article that is at the same time very serious. In case you don’t know this, it is difficult to be serious in a humorous way, at least in a sustainable fashion.  Well, Chaplain managed it very well in the article I am sharing with you. 

His title is How to Muzzle the Gospel at Christmas” and it is published in the magazine Klice Comment, December 2016. In other words, it’s brand new. “Klice” stands for “The Kirby Laing Institute for Christian Ethics,” which you can visit at  <  klice.co.uk  >.

Chaplain begins with an apology to C. S. Lewis, the famous ex-atheist who became one of the most beloved Christian writers of modern times. Chaplain’s article clearly borrows its style from C. S. Lewis. Even the opening salutation of this fictional “letter” is reminiscent of Lewis:  “Dear Wormwood.”


And with this I’m going to let you loose. Please access the article at: http://tyndalehouse.cmail20.com/t/ViewEmail/r/C95148A54A77C8312540EF23F30FEDED/0DBF6AEFBC7CBD42EBAD456BEB5F1DD6
