Christmas Cleanup

Modern Americans might love “Dirty Jobs,” but the show would have found little traction in the Ancient World. We would find the same “consumer trend” when it came to religion in the ancient world. The gods of the Ancient Near East were noted for their lives of luxury. In stark contrast to these gods is the God of the Bible.

Lessons on Life, Labor, and Liturgy with Doug McKelvey

Doug McKelvey chooses his words carefully. This is true in more ways than one.

Every phrase and punctuation mark feels intentional, as if molded on a potter’s wheel.
