In a reappraisal of what it is we're referring to when we speak of religious commitments (Is there any other kind?), David Dark suggests that we're perhaps most faithful to the world God so loves when we bring to it a redemptive and redeeming skepticism, a sacred questioning we do well to bring, first and foremost to our otherwise unexamined sense of religiosity.
David Dark has something funny and interesting to say about all kinds of things.
He brings his troubled wits to bear on Flannery O'Connor, Radiohead, the Big Lebowski, and America's conflicted understanding of itself while generally assuming that politics, religion, and culture are different words for describing the same thing.
His books (Everyday Apocalypse and The Gospel according to America) are cited approvingly by people like Eugene Peterson and Phyllis Tickle. And as the husband of living legend Sarah Masen, the father of three, and a high school English teacher, he also finds time to google his own name on the Internet entirely too often.
