(Say the Jesus Creed morning and evening during Lent.) We need a new book on the basics of the orthodox faith; a readable study that anyone can read. I’ve read a few such books in my life, but the challenge of doing so is a little more difficult than most know. Beside having so much to master, the ability to put it all into readable and compelling prose is even more difficult. What books do this for you? I’d like... Read more

Our next text is in the middle of a parable, found at Matthew 21:31-45: 43 “Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit. 44 He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”. |inline Read more

Greetings Scot, I was one of your students at Trinity Evang Div School… Although my leanings are not emerging/emergent, I want to be fair, honest, and even-handed as I share on the emerging/emergent movement.

We come to the 11th and final chapter of John Goldingay’s Old Testament theology — OT Theology: Israel’s Gospel.

The questions are different; the approach is different; and the result is different. And this chp is about Jesus as “God Sent” explores how Jesus fits into that Story. We will begin the 2d volume next month... Read more
Our next text is Matthew 21:31. In context: 28 “What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’ 29 ” ‘I will not,’ he answered, but later he changed his mind and went. 30 “Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I will, sir,’ but he did not go. 31 “Which of the two... Read more

Amen. (Say the Jesus Creed morning and evening during Lent.) Read more

I mentioned this before, but just in case you haven’t heard, there is a wonderful reading of the Bible — with some background effects — in The Bible Experience. I’ve enjoyed it while driving, and it is now with mp3 (not sure that I know what that is, but I’m confident you do). The reading is by African Americans. Anyone listening to this? Read more
