Quote of the day

In planning my own scholarly agenda, I often wonder about the role that my Christian faith should play in deciding what I should write about.  This might be more of an issue for someone who (like me) was raised as an evangelical, but I regularly experience a nagging sense that I should be writing explicitly about faith, in keeping with the Great Commission.  On that front, I just ran across this very helpful quote from one of the great Christian music producers, T-Bone Burnett.  He said, “If Jesus is the light of the world, there are two kinds of songs you can write. You can write songs about the light, or you can write songs about what you can see from the light.”
