Robert Jenson's large catechism

via Faith and Theology by Ben Myers on 5/18/08

A while back, I told you about my happy discovery of a little-known work by Robert W. Jenson: his Large Catechism (1991). It has been impossible to get a copy of this, since it was produced on an extremely small print run. But a reader of F&T has just informed me that it has now been reprinted. The new printing includes an introduction by Gregory P. Fryer – and it's available direct from the publishers for just 4 dollars. I'll be ordering a copy or two right away!

You can see my earlier post for some excerpts from the booklet – including this one, which sums up Jenson's whole theological vision:

"In our fallen religion, we think salvation would be escape from temporal existence, from the threats and opportunities of an open future…. But the true God is the one coming as the future rushes upon us; he is life rather than release from life. His very identity is set by what he does in time" (p. 8).

The carbon footprint of food

This is absolutely true. The point of eating locally is to keep local economy fluid, keep cash moving. I would rather my cash goes to a local business. The food is fresher, tastes better, more variety, Eating local is about the food and the business of food. The best thing we can do for the environment is to become dead people. Dead people are the best environmentalists. (See Bruce Sterling and the Viridians....)

The carbon footprint of food

via Marginal Revolution by Tyler Cowen on 6/7/08

Ezra reports:

...two Carnegie Mellon researchers recently broke down the carbon footprint of foods, and their findings were a bit surprising. 83 percent of emissions came from the growth and production of the food itself. Only 11 percent came from transportation, and even then, only 4 percent came from the transportation between grower and seller (which is the part that eating local helps cut).

In other words, when it comes to food the greenest things you can do, if that is your standard, is to eat less meat and have fewer kids.
