Here's an incomplete list of some recent links back to PyroManiac. I didn't have a lot of time to assemble a longer list. If I get an opportunity, I'll do more BlogSpotting soon.
- Oops. I must have backed my sweet ride over someone's toes. Although I have never "call[ed] social action in politics" a fad, I did indeed post a list of fads that included James Dobson's ecumenical style of culture warfare (wherein political campaigns for moral reform are divorced from any clear presentation of the gospel). I also explained why I think Dobson's strategy qualifies as a fad. But the anonymous guy in a gorilla mask over at "Christian Survey" evidently found my remark about Dobson "pejorative and not useful."
Lumping me with the "whine faction" is also pejorative, of course. But apparently that's "useful." - Char Moore does her best Navin Johnson imitation. She's amazed and amused at how you people who read PyroManiac can find things to fight about, even when I post non-controversial stuff.
- Bet at "Dappled Things" thinks I'm too loud.
- Paul Martin finds a useful link and borrows it. He also appreciated my review of Michael Haykin's book.
- Clint Humfrey liked my book reviews. He has perhaps the only cowboy-themed theological blog in the blogosphere.
- Ian Clary likewise was happy to see Michael Haykin's book receive due recognition. Ian's blog has to be one of the few finshing-themed theological blogs out there.
- Rob Wilkerson wins the coveted Warnie.
- Inkling at "The Rough Woodsman" ponders the mystery of how to get listed on my blogroll. He seems to know intuitively, however, that he cannot post a link to me without getting BlogSpotted. His post reminds me that I need to do a post explaining my blogroll policy. And I also need to update my blogroll.
- The aptly-named Pecadillo launches his blog with some intriguing thoughts about handshakes and John Tesh.

I agree. I once heard an anecdote about how people could qualify for release from the insane asylum. The staff, who conducted annual examinations hit upon this idea...
They would put each candidate for release into closed courtyard in which there was a mop and bucket, and a spigot from which water was gushing. Those inmates who turned off the spigot before attempting to mop up were the ones that were released.
Same thing.
Phil,
Thanks for "spotting" me. It has led to a whole bunch of old friends re-connecting!
As for Michael Haykin, have you checked out his personal web site at http://haykin.luxpub.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1
There is a growing assortment of excellent (and I assume yet unpublished) biographical works and historical papers. All for free!
An excellent resource.

Phil,
I thought of one more resource today that you and your readers might appreciate. We have a four-part series of lectures (in print http://gfcto.com/articles/theology/articles.htm and in free audio download http://gfcto.com/audio.htm ) of Dr. Haykin lecturing on the history of the church from Pentecost to today.
The reason we asked him to tackle this was the huge lack of basic church history knowledge among Christians in our area. The goal was to get a bird's eye view of the entire 2000 years - and Michael did not disappoint!
I highly recommend downloading the lectures – the notes are not as full.
Paul
