Rich And Layered

Our little cartoon critic hasn't been back in a while and this is a disappointment to some of us. Nothing like a few theology-laden cartoons to mix in with your Greek vocabulary and Church history readings.

So I have traveled to and fro in the earth to find something appropriate. Over at TonyJ's place there is this YouTube version of Dr. Seuss. So basically it's another emergent rip-off—carrying forward the salient tradition of that culture.

Definition is discrimination.

Down in the comments you'll notice that jonathanbrink is not the A-student in this class. He's just been told that labeling is wrong, and the first thing he does right out of the chute is define everyone as "human".

Kathy also seems a bit too eager to identify and demonize the poor guy with the machine who is merely providing a service worth ten dollars to everyone who uses it.

Then there's blake:

yes!!! i love the sneetches. seuss is so rich and layered. i'd really like to see more done with him in theology.

did you miss that the seuss video was part two? there was also a part one:

it should provide a rather concrete context for understanding how seuss should be understood as a commentary on part one.

Not at all. I gave some thought to linking to both, the first being the more comical of the two.
Note well, O Definers, you may define me “out” of emerging or evangelical or orthodoxy, but beware, it’ll be you next.
I just wasn’t sure our readers would go to the trouble of reading both and giving the pair serious consideration. There is a leap in logic there that finds a context only if you’ve been following the blog.

Some might also be interested to read the comments to postmodernism and Stanley Fish here.
