Father to Geeks
No devotionals this week either -- I suspect I'm
still at the foot of the mountain with the Israelites, waiting for Moses. I've
continued to wrestle with what it means to be a Man of God, as well as a Father
and a Husband. I've had some interesting pastoral experiences trying to help
birth well-rounded manhood in intellectual geeks, e.g.: academics &
analysts, editors & educators, journalists & lawyers, philosophers &
politicians, priests & pundits.
It
reminds of my Good News for Modern Nerds that I wrote back at MIT, linked to
below.
Good News for Modern
Nerds(aka the Nerd
Bible)I, Ernest N.
Prabhakar,Called by God to serve
Him, and self-appointed apostle to the
Nerds;Realizing that
people respond to the gospel most when presented in terms of their own language,
and that the language of my chosen people,
mathematica,
is also one of the most universal languages known to
man;Herein have endeavored to
translate the essentials of the gospel into Modern Calculus. For those not
fluent in
mathematica,
I have provided a verbatim translation into English.
