WASHINGTON—Unable to rest their eyes on a colorful photograph or boldface heading that could be easily skimmed and forgotten about, Americans collectively recoiled Monday when confronted with a solid block of uninterrupted text.
Dumbfounded citizens from Maine to California gazed helplessly at the frightening chunk of print, unsure of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[David Ker is uncomfortable with the passages in the Old Testament that seem to revel in thoughts (and actions) of vengeance against one&#8217;s enemies. So am I—and it would be deeply troubling to meet someone who wasn&#8217;t. There are some awfully graphic, bloodthirsty places in Scripture. David notes in particular a couple of psalms.

For those of you who aren&#8217;t tech-savvy, DOCX format is something Microsoft invented to force everyone to upgrade their Microsoft Office Suite to add a bunch of features they don&#8217;t really need. Instead, I use Zamzar. It quickly converts DOCX into plain old DOC, which lets [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scot McKnight has a nice piece about the ancient ecumenical Creeds and their place in (Protestant, evangelical, paleo-orthodox and/or emerging) Christianity. He takes a middle road—which obviously gets bonus points from me—between those who would dismiss the Creeds as irrelevant and those who would invest them with the same degree of authority as the Bible.
