New issue is here: Idolatry
The irony of idolatry is that those who worship idols turn into the idols that they worship. As the psalmist observed, “Those who make them [idols] become like them, so do all who trust in them” (135:18).
Today, idolatry is an offensive word, a word hardly used because it is considered so dark, so primitive, and so destructive. Yet it’s the perfect description of mankind apart from the Creator. For only when we are sobered by how perversely we have robbed the Creator of his glory and given it to the creature will we understand our desperate need for liberation from the idols we’ve become.
Included in this issue are some outstanding contributions from G.K. Beale, John Kilner, Steven Smith, Benjamin Gladd, James Todd, Gary Schnittjer, Bob Kellemen, Nate Pickowicz, Michael Naylor, and many others.
