Australian Pastor Mark Henderson's fine Glosses From An Old Manse is presently my favorite read in the Lutheran blogosphere. Pastor Henderson is a fine theologian and the discourse in the blog's comments, often with both Roman and Eastern Orthodox believers, is generally civil and enlightening. His explanation of his blog's name is the best reasoning that I have heard regarding the value of blogging as a medium:
'Glosses From An Old Manse', is a play on the title of the collection of short stories by Nathaniel Hawthorne, 'Mosses from an Old Manse'. 'Glosses' are the interpretive notes you find scribbled on the margins of texts. Since blogging is not really a medium suited to the extended treatment of theology, the idea of these blog posts as mere glosses written on the margins of theology and life from the study of a virtual 'old manse' seems appropriate.Pastor Henderson's other blogs:
Worthwhile reading.
