Russell Moore recently interviewed me about What Is the Meaning of Sex, and the audio is now available online. I am very grateful for this interview, and I have to say that it is unlike almost any other that I’ve done so far. Dr. Moore was careful to probe the pastoral and practical implications of this book, and he does so with his customary wit and humor.

What still remains to be done is to interact with the best arguments of the best of the charismatics and to address…

The Wall Street Journal has run a front page feature on Russell Moore, the new president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission. This morning, the story was behind a subscriber wall, but now it’s available for anyone to read.
