The limericks about theologians that were proffered a couple weeks back were nothing short of AMAZING! Below are the three winners of the Theologian Trading Cards<\/a>, with signed copies. But there\u2019s a consolation prize, too, so read on\u2026<\/p>\n

The signed NT Wright card goes to Dave Burkum<\/a>, with:<\/p>\n

The Kingdom\u2019s begun, Jesus stated,
\nAnd Tom Wright says we should celebrate it
\nAs we work and we pray
\nToward the Full Kingdom Day\u2013
\nEschatology inaugurated!<\/p>\n

The Kevin Vanhoozer card goes to\u00a0 Dan Wilkinson<\/a>:<\/p>\n

To Sch\u00fcssler Fiorenza women are indebted.
\nBefore her they were largely uncredited.
\nShe thoughtfully shared
\nAnd with boldness declared
\nA feminist theology intrepid!<\/p>\n

And the The Elisabeth Schussler Fiorenza card goes to Cow Gaels<\/a>, who turned in so<\/a> many<\/a> awesome<\/a> limericks<\/a> that it\u2019s hard to choose just one:<\/p>\n

Said Wesley to Whitehead, \u201cEnough
\nof this predestinational stuff!
\nThough you cry, \u2018inconvenient!\u2019
\nGod\u2019s grace is prevenient.
\nAs I strive, I am calling your bluff.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are so many other good ones that I implore you to go back to the post and read them<\/a>. By far our best limerick context yet<\/strong>. Thanks so much to all who contributed.<\/p>\n

If you submitted a limerick but didn\u2019t win, you\u2019re not going away empty-handed. You get a copy of \u00a0Holy Nomad: The Rugged Road to Joy<\/a> <\/em>\u2014 just fill out the form here<\/a>, and a book will be shipped out to you!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
