Called to Craftsmanship

Winslow Homer, Farmer with a Pitchfork (1870s)

Note: For those of you who may be wondering if you’ve been missing “Work of Our Hands” posts over the last year, you have not. Due to the extra workload and responsibilities I’ve been juggling, I’ve had little time left over for this blog, though I’m hopeful that I will soon be able to post more regularly. I have lots of notes from classes I’ve taught and research I’ve done, all of which could be converted into blog posts as I find bits of time here and there. So, I continue to promise no specific publishing interval, but if you’re signed up to receive notifications of these posts via email, be assured that you will not miss out. If you’re not yet signed up but would like to be, you can fill out the form at the bottom of this page. Thanks for your interest in these musings here.

The audio above is from a talk I recently gave to high schoolers at a local Christian school. It was a fun challenge to rouse the slumbering crowd so bright and early and to attempt to present a slice of my material is an approachable and engaging way. Not all teenagers would be drawn in by a detailed discussion of Biblical anthropology or the merits and disadvantages of various theories of technological development.

This was a talk for kids. And it was fun seeing them roused out of their slumber by the end.
