- A primer on the issues: The Advocate
- "The Trinity War: How Four True Believers Led Us Into a Battle for the Soul of Dallas" by Eric Celeste
- Our ongoing coverage, including an RSS feed
- Sam Merten's ongoing coverage, probably the deepest available
- Jim Schutze will almost assuredly write about nothing else until December.
