history

First of all, if you are a serious student or interested bystander of what is going on in culture and the world at large today as it pertains to Christianity in relation to culture, you need to begin staying abreast of articles on TheResurgence, a website developed in large part by Marc Driscoll of Mars Hill (Seattle) and the Acts 29 network.  Secondly, I just found one of their more thorough recent posts about apologetics, and the information contained in that article are excellent!  Interestingly, a lot of the works of long-dead Biblical apologists are freely available through sites like the Internet Archive and Google's book scanning efforts.  The one I am most looking forward to reading some day is a work on the history of "free thought".

This photo can be seen in much greater detail on the excellent photo-sharing website for old photos, Shorpy.com. What I find compelling about this particular photograph is the range of emotions in the children's faces, the unknown worldwide chaos these kids were about to experience (via WW2), and the time capsule of American education form and fashions from this pivotal time period. To get the full experience of this photo, make sure to view it in full-size.
