In this last post on Russell Moore’s book on the kingdom, I want to look at the heart of his last chp and then offer some concluding observations. |inline Read more

What I like most about Summer

Last updated on: June 6, 2006 at 6:48 am By Scot McKnight

Some of you live in a part of this good world of ours where the weather doesn’t change that much, so you have great weather all the time. Others of us know what the change of seasons means to our routines. What do you like most about summer? |inline Read more

Camogli

Our villa was up that mountain about 75% of the way; in other words, off the top of this picture. The village is Camogli and it is pronounced “cu-mol-yi.” The second picture is of Kris having dinner at one of our favorite ristoranti. |inline Read more

R.D. Moore’s Kingdom of Christ 4

Last updated on: June 6, 2006 at 5:33 am By Scot McKnight

The next chp of Russell Moore’s study of kingdom concerns ecclesiology: With the new unity being achieved beyond traditional dispensationalism and covenant theology, there arises the issue of what the church should look like. Once again, Moore has landed on a most important issue for emerging theology and for evangelicalism in a general sense. |inline Read more

So why be a Jew?

Last updated on: June 6, 2006 at 5:20 am By Scot McKnight

Anyone who hears with the ears of a 1st Century Jew, regardless of what that person thought of Paul, would ask the question that opens up Romans 3: “What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision?” Again, Paul surprises. |inline Read more

R.D. Moore’s Kingdom of Christ 3

Last updated on: June 5, 2006 at 5:18 am By Scot McKnight

Let me begin by provoking with a question: Is Russell Moore’s proposal in chp 3 an emerging proposal? Is his proposal that there is a way beyond traditionist dispensationalism and traditionist covenant theologians a “purple” theology? Is it post-dispensational and post-covenantal? Probably not an emerging theology, but I do think Moore’s proposals in this chp can pave the way for many in the emerging movement on seeing a macroscopic kingdom vision for Christians today. |inline Read more

The Inward Jew

Last updated on: June 5, 2006 at 5:16 am By Scot McKnight

So, if Paul contends that it is not about possessing the Torah but doing the Torah, who then is the “true Jew”? Paul’s words in Romans 2:25-29, so I think, would have been heard as nothing short of shocking: |inline Read more

Shoes tell the tale

Last updated on: June 5, 2006 at 5:15 am By Scot McKnight

Some time back I suggested you could tell which males were emerging and which weren’t by whether or not you see a belt. If there was a belt visible, shirt tucked in, etc., emerging was a stretch. We found another device to figure which countries our fellow tourists were from. |inline Read more
