If Paul Had A Blog part 4
I had not intended to go back to this thuoght about Paul having a blog for a while longer. But after reading this entry at the BBC, I realize that it might be for our good that Paul didn't have a blog to write with.
There is something to be said about writing that challenges the thuoghts and motives of the times and places where one lives. To some extent, if one wants their writing to have some kind of lasting impact, it has to follow convention while defying it. Paul would have written a blog similar to this woman from Africa. It would have surely been politically charged. And in some long-winded frankness (ever read Romans, the guy is long-winded and blunt), Paul manages to both speak to the people, and establish that there is a higher standard than the one that is lived to.
I guess now, I am getting to the point where I am no longer wondering what Paul would do if he had a blog, but how would he talk if he did.
