Round the Sphere Again

Where can I find this week's Christian Carnival?

• You'll find it right here at Daddypundit.

Have you read anything particularly thought provoking this week?

• This got me thinking: The other Rebecca lays out the problems, as she sees it (and I think she's got very good points!), with father-daughter purity balls:

  I'm all for purity, but...
  Fathers and daughters
  Let girls be girls
  Alternatives to father-daughter balls

Why are Christians making such a big deal out of The Da Vinci Code?

• Sometimes you can get pretty good answers from CNN.

And while we're on the subject of Gnostic gospels and such thing, what's wrong with Gnosticism, anyway?

• I'll let Scott explain: What's wrong with Gnosticism?

Speaking of pseudonymous writings, is it possible that the pastoral epistles are examples of writings attributed to someone other than the one who wrote them?

• The evidence suggests that they were written by the one whose name is on them. (From Biblical Foundations Blog.)

Are there any Christian missionaries who blog?

• There are lots of them, and there's a whole site devoted to keeping up with missionary blogs. Check out the site blog called Missionary Blog Watch, too. I've blogged about this site before, but I think it's worth posting another reminder, especially since you asked.
  

Enough of the serious stuff! Heard any good blond jokes?

• Ha! How coincidental that you should ask that right now when Tim's got a good one posted!
