New Biblioblog: Matt and Madeline
From their About Page:
The MandM blog addresses philosophy of religion, ethics, theology, jurisprudence and social commentary from a Christian perspective, with a distinctly kiwi twist. MandM utilise a deliberate blend of academic and popular writings, share snippets of their lives, blogging tips and mix it up with a good measure of dry humour in the hope that there will be something accessible for everyone in their pages.
….
Who are MandM?
Dr Matthew and Madeleine Flannagan have been married for 11 years and have 4 children. They are Evangelicals, with Reformed leanings and are currently members of the Presbyterian Church. Both are adult converts and were not raised in Christian families. Politically they are both Classical Liberals, Madeleine is slightly more libertarian in the outworking of her theology; neither have political party affiliations.
Both were founding members of civil liberties student group, Student Choice, national leaders of tertiary student pro-life organisation, Students Organised to Uphold Life, and board members of research think tank, The Locke Foundation. They were elected as President and Vice-President of the University of Waikato’s Student Union.

Thank you very much for the plug. Being from “down-under” it has been hard to gain traction in the blogosphere much beyond New Zealand but I am passionate about what we do at MandM and convinced that there is a place for us to share in the wider online community.
It has been nice discovering your blog; we’ve noted several pages we will come back and read in more detail this week and we’re adding you to our blogroll now so our readers can enjoy your pages as well.

Very happy to do it, Madeleine. I imagine it’s tough being a kiwi
Plus, anyone who takes on the Done and finish school get’s an A in my book! Hopefully, we’ll see ranked just as high in the wider sphere as you have been in New Zealand.

One wonders how the Done and finish school and that blog full of lofty bunk ever made the list in the first place.

It’s now a “lofty bunk”!? Okay, I guess. But then according to my Blog title I’m in it and you’ve been debunked out of it.

I’m glad you picked up on this blog Joel. It’s one of the best for the more philosophically (and legal) oriented among us. Their content is top notch.
