My relative silence around here, as I explained earlier, is due to a looming book deadline. I'm traveling to North Carolina this week for a speaking engagement, so it only gets worse. If you're having Bertrand withdrawals, though, there's a perfect remedy. You could pick up a copy of my book Rethinking Worldview. Here's an excerpt from the review at Discerning Reader:
In Rethinking Worldview, J. Mark Bertrand has written an expansive book…a witty book. He has written a literary book, and a provoking book. An erudite book and a fascinating book. I think my brain hurts . . . . I am also convinced I cannot do justice to this book in a mere review. Had we but world enough and time, as well as web space, I might be inclined to take a prismatic look at the book: firstly as a Christian non-fiction book of the ‘Christian Life/General’ variety (a catch-all publishing-marketing category I deny Bertrand’s book fits neatly into), secondly as an introduction to general philosophy, thirdly as a topical commentary on certain biblical narratives, and lastly but not least, a call to a new view of worldview studies. Bertrand has even sprinkled a generous dash of autobiography into the mix.
An online store called Monergism Books also carries your book. Rather than buy from amazon I think it couldn't hurt to ensure Christian money goes to Christian organizations. Though I don't fall you at all Mr. Bertrand for selling the book on Amazon! Also, I have no affiliation with the folks at Monergism - this is not a shameless promotion.

or you can just go to www.monergismbooks.com and search the title.

I've had your book for about a month now, but it's in the cue after some others. It certainly looks to be a good read.
Thanks again for all of your hard work on this site Mark!
I can't wait to hear and see the details on the May/June release of the new Allan Reference Bible.

Oops... Allan ESV Reference Bible (ESV3????) Not sure what they'll label it.
