LibraryThing-kirjailija: Roger Overton

Tietoja minusta Currently a student at Talbot School of Theology taking time off to pay the bills. I'm in the philosophy program, but there's a good chance I'll be switching to theology. I did my undergrad at Cal State Long Beach (BA Religious Studies, 2004) and got a certificate in Christian Apologetics from Biola (2003). I blog at The A-Team Blog and a C.S. Lewis blog (www.afcmin.org/merelewis). I also have interests in Reformed and Historical Theology. The Boston Red Sox are one of God's blessings to curb evil and suffering in the world.

I co-edited The New Media Frontier (www.newmediafrontier.com) which will be published by Crossway in Sept. '08. I'm also editing a book on God and Governing which (Lord willing) will be published in '09.

Tietoja kirjastostani The Roger Overton Library consists primarily of theological works (as you can see from the tags). At the time of my writing this, I have the largest C.S. Lewis library on LT- something I'm quite proud of :)

I understand. I never could make day classed happen. Work and money kept getting in the way.

Hi Roger,

Do you know Ross Chenault? He's a friend of mine that did the Biola apologetics MA about the time you were there, I think.

I always wanted to complete the Talbot MA. But I could never make it happen since the program was structured around a daytime schedule and even when I lived in San Diego, it was too far to drive that many days a week. That's why I went with the MA at Trinity. Frank Beckwith was my main prof there (and Craig Hawkins).

Talk later,
Jeff

I just read your review of "The Compleat Gentleman: The Modern Man's Guide to Chivalry" and overall i enjoyed it. You said "...Mr. Miner never supplies the reader with an argument for why one ought to act as a gentleman, except perhaps people get along better." I can't say I agree with you. No he doesn't ever say "You should be a gentleman because it will make you lots of money, or at peace with yourself" He does mention several times over in the first chapter the concept of idealism and states the qualities of a gentleman.
At the end of chapter one he says: "A gentleman is not simply a man that stands apart. He is a man who stands up for others, sometimes even for his enemies. Often when those others have no clue he is there for them."
These are the types of arguments that Brad Minor gives to us as the reader for taking the path of a gentleman.

Thanks for writing the review. I just wish more people would follow your lead.

Hi Roger,

You and I sure share interests! I will give you a run for your money when I finish listing all my C S Lewis books. Peter Kreeft is a good friend of mine and mentor of sorts so you two are quite the soul mates!! He once said he tells his classes the easy way to get an A would be to give him free tickets to the Red sox games.

I have no blogs, etc. Only an email address---I teach English at TTU; wrote a thesis on the Augustinian influence in selected fiction by CS Lewis, published a word index to the poetry of Lewis, yada yada yada ---
write to me-----sara.mclaughlin@ttu.edu

Dear jawapez: Thank you for the tip on John Piper's bio on John Bunyan. I'll look it up.

We share a lot of books and an interest in theology. Just thought I'd say hey.

Roger, looks like we are the only ones who have "Discovering the Way of Wisdom." Did you read it for a class? I'm also a Talbot philos. alum., getting ready to start PhD work at Missouri. -- Chris Gadsden
