Time Magazine: 10 Ideas Changing the World Right Now

14 March 2009 No Comment

Here is the list-of-10 according to Time Magazine: (1) Jobs Are the New Assets, (2) Recycling the Suburbs, (3) The New Calvinism, (4) Reinstating The Interstate, (5) Amortality, (6) Africa: Open for Business, (7) The Rent-a-Country, (8) Biobanks, (9) Survival Stores, (10) Ecological Intelligence.

What is my personal take on number (3)? Well, pretty much full agreement. A quick look at Christian News NZ should demonstrate this. Here is a snippet from the Time article (content in italics is mine; links added).

… Neo-Calvinist ministers and authors don’t operate quite on a Rick Warren scale. But, notes Ted Olsen, a managing editor at Christianity Today, “everyone knows where the energy and the passion are in the Evangelical world” — with the pioneering new-Calvinist John Piper of Minneapolis, Seattle’s pugnacious Mark Driscoll (church here) and Albert Mohler (video testimony on suffering here), head of the Southern Seminary of the huge Southern Baptist Convention. The Calvinist-flavored ESV Study Bible sold out its first printing, and Reformed blogs like Between Two Worlds are among cyber-Christendom’s hottest links.
