Book Reviews:
  • The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil, by Philip Zimbardo. Review.
  • If Grace Is True: Why God Will Save Every Person, by Gulley and Mulholland. Review.


Individuals:
  • Rowan Williams, The Archbishop of Canterbury.
  • Desmond Tutu, former Archbishop of Cape Town, South Africa.
  • Katharine Jefferts Schori, Presiding Bishop, Episcopal Church.
    • "Mother Jesus" controversy: Jefferts Schori preached a homily in which she used the phrase "Mother Jesus". People condemned her knowing nothing but that she used these two words. In fact, although her language was perhaps unusual, it makes sense in context.
