I have really been going through it. I won’t disclose exactly the source of it all (not sinful or anything), but I have a load of anxiety pulsating through my body even as I type this. The Lord is working, and things are getting better; but I would desperately ask that you hold me up […]
The following is a repost I originally wrote approximately in and around 2009. I am currently, and once again, being pressed with a really challenging spiritual attack. I’ve walked through many years of these seasons in the past, but that doesn’t necessarily make the heat right now that much cooler. If you could remember me […]
It is exciting to see how the Lord has been working in the ministry of Concordia Academic Theology Consortium International; the theological and pastoral educational branch of the General Lutheran Church (denomination). They have received accreditation from and along with Universidad Acreditadora De Capellanía Y Estudios Bíblicos De Puerto Rico, which is recognized by the Department of Education of Puerto Rico […]
Classical theism is once again a hot-topic. If you scroll through theo-Twitter you will find an in-house debate on the entailments of a classical theism. But this isn’t just reducible to the debate between the Reformed Baptists, and the impact that Thomas Aquinas has had upon the development of their respective types of Reformed and/or […]
I know some tire of me opining on what has been called a ‘theology of glory’ (which is a negative thing), but for me it is seemingly something the Lord always has convicted me on ever since I started radically walking with him. This was of course a theme for Martin Luther who is known […]
Theology ultimately should be a very concrete thing, at least for the Protestant Christian. We are people of the Word of God; we are people who have been radically brought into the life of God by a deep sense of the theology of God’s Word as that has confronted us in the face of a […]
A summary of J. A. T. Robinson’s version of a Christian Universalism. I am dusting this passage off from an old post I once wrote using this same quotation. I just listened to a podcast with Larry Chapp and Jordan Daniel Wood on the topic of Universal Salvation. As far as I can get is […]
Barth’s theology is often tagged as postmetaphysical in line with something like Kant’s, and more to the point, post-Kantian mediating theologians like Albrecht Ritschl, Wilhelm Hermann et al. But this is overwrought in the sense that Barth might be a trained modern theologian, nevertheless he is conditioned more by his reliance on the antique tradition […]
Bruce McCormack argues, contra Hunsinger’s reading of Barth, that Hunsinger’s reading of Barth’s Trinitarian theology is in fact modulated through TF Torrance’s reading of Barth. McCormack further argues that TF Torrance’s approach is in fact Thomist, particularly when it comes to thinking a doctrine of God, and thus represents an inaccurate lens through which to […]
There are further developments on the PhD front. As many of you know I had been working with Martin Luther School of Bible and Theology and Concordia Academic Theology Consortium, Intl. of the General Lutheran Church denomination towards a doctor of philosophy degree in systematic and historical theology. They are both newish (within the last […]
