There's a video version of a book "The Magician's Twin" by John West of the Discovery Institute.
It talks about how science is very similar to magic, where the scientism's pursuit of power is no different than that of a magician's goal.
Of the Lewis books recommended in this are:
1. The Pilgrim's Regress
2. The Abolition of Man3. The Hideous Strength
I shall not put these books on my reading list, as I already has a huge list and that when I get the chance I shall browse through all of Lewis' books, particularly in the nonfiction section.
Today, a Sunday morning, marks the first Sunday of the year 2013. The time I and my wife focus on attending Redeemer church. Though we still ended up going to the other church's morning choir rehearsal in the morning. Not likely so next week, we did not attend the evening choir rehearsal. Any good choir master knows commitment is crucial in choir rehearsal. Regardless of countless persuasion for me to stay for the evening, I finally got the chance to respond: "I have given you more than 5 months notice, I am beginning to think you do not care for the choir!".
While attending Dr. Tong's Romans video series, the pastor gave me a letter from an online free seminary (Ekklesia Theological Seminary), suggesting I consider enrolling. It was interesting. I looked into it. I believe it is affiliated with the reformed baptist denomination. Not bad, though I may have to hold my conviction when it comes to infant baptism. However, the requirements are a bit tedious...not only that they require recommendation letters, but a mentor as well (That I need to find some qualified mentor...viz. pastors, etc. who will be responsible for my progress). Though I understand their need for such discipline, I do not know the school well enough to have such pursuit (If it is Westminster Theological Seminary or Dr. Tong's, I would consider otherwise). With the advent of coursera and edx, it is just a matter of time we see good seminaries like WTS doing the same...perhaps? Nevertheless, I must note that ETS offers Masters of Divinity, which is offered to anyone. Certification upon completion of undergraduate degree which they do not offer, yet. I also know of a couple of free online seminaries...like The North American Reformed Seminary, of which I have not looked into, only that I am aware that its enrollment is now full house and closed.
