I used to write a column for The Presbyterian Outlook, an independent publication that covers my denomination, the Presbyterian Church (USA).
When those columns were available on the Outlook's website, I'd post them here. You can get to all my columns on the Outlook's site by clicking here. Or just click on individual columns below here. But as of 2015, the publication offers the full column online to subscribers but just a taste to non-subscribers.
I also write occasional book reviews for the Outlook. Here's the latest one:
