Ransom Fellowship

I would like to draw everyone's attention to a very interesting ministry called Ransom Fellowship.

One of their major contributions as ministry is a newsletter entitled "Critique" - I used to recieve this from them, but when we moved, I stopped getting it. I recently stumbled upon it on the web and remembered how interesting it was to me. "Critique" is defined by them as follows:

Critique is a newsletter designed, by God’s grace, to...

...call attention to resources of interest for thinking Christians,
...model Christian discernment, and
...stimulate believers to think biblically about all of life.

Each issue regularly includes movie and book reviews, discernment exercises with discussion questions, book excerpts, poetry, articles on how to understand and live faithfully in the midst of our culture, and much more. Some of the content of Critique eventually ends up on this website, but the only sure way to get our most up-to-date recommendations is to sign up for the newsletter.

A sample of Critique can be found here

I would encourage you to check out the website and bookmark it for some very interesting thinking about Christianity and culture.


Below is an endorsment:

“I am a big fan of Critique. I read lots of Christian magazines and most can quickly be identified as either from the “left” or “right,” and each usually has a strident tone explaining why you should agree with them. But Critique is different. Critique truly encourages conversation and this involves listening. This doesn’t mean it is wishy-washy with respect to truth, but it acknowledges that orthodox Christians can sometimes disagree on issues, and how we disagree is often more important than that we disagree.”
