The Redactor is a bit of a curmudgeon, and performed his manly duties this Valentine’s day without complaining, but cannot pass up the opportunity to iterate that the Vatican has admitted that they’re pretty sure St. Valentine never existed. If only they could have done that before Hallmark, Russell Stover, and “Big Floral” existed, eh? What have Baptists to do with a fake Catholic saint? OW! Just got smacked for my trouble. I’ll avoid further pain and present the results of my extensive Higher Blog Criticism. So much for the truth setting me free… OW! Bryan Lilly reflects on God, Father of the Fatherless.
- Dr. Chuck Lawless‘ essay on Church Leadership and Valentine’s Day contains nuggets of wisdom that also apply fully to marriage.
- Owen Strachan marks Valentine’s day by blogging in praise of marriage, especially his. (evidently, he knows what is good for him.)
- David Dunham describes the flawed gender roles on display in the HBO series Sex and the City.
- Dr. Mohler (please pray for him) keeps tabs on Stephanie Coontz’s (libertarian) arguments in the marriage war.
- The Center for Biblical Manhood and Womanhood’s rss feed (worthy of subscription) is always a rich source of biblical insight into gender roles. We here at S@S are delighted that they have recently featured bloggers and blog posts from SBTS bloggers that first appeared in this very space. A sampling of CBMW’s excellent work:
- Ordination of Women comes to Orthodox Judaism.
- Contrasting Christian and Muslim views of Women.
- Dr. Shawn Wright argues that when it comes to the roles of women in the church, Scripture trumps history.
- Comparing Bond, Bourne, and Bauer as pictures of manhood.
- Structure. Boys need it.
- A Methodist scholar explicitly rejects the commands of scripture regarding same sex marriage.

Can I make a recommendation that you not use the “more” feature on the Roundups?
When I’m scrolling through my Google Reader, I find I’m likely to overlook the latest Round-up when the “more” feature is used.
That’s just me, though. Maybe others prefer the “more” feature in order to scroll through posts faster at the website.

Good point. We’ve tested the more tag to get a better idea if anyone is using the roundup. Thanks for the feedback.
We’ve also used more to keep the front page of the site scrollable. But that can wait until after the feed has worked its way around.
I’m always afraid I’ll overlook the Roundup as I’m scrolling through my Reader.
I think you’ll get more interest in the Roundup if you keep it open to the Reader. People are more likely to click on the links if they’re already in the Reader, rather than if they have to go to SAS and then click them from there.
Those are just my thoughts…
