June 30th, 2008 · 3 Comments
I have a few shelves of good theology books building up but I was wondering when I see the walls of professors offices, and some theology blogger’s lined with books, how do people build their theological libraries. Many Theological texts are well north of £30 and certainly many of the bloggers and prof’s [...]

Slavoj Zizek on the function of Intellectualism
June 27th, 2008 · No Comments
I read this interesting take on the function of intellectuals, probably more specifically philosophers, and I wondered whether distinctively Christian Theologians might see some of their vocation in this reflection. It is certainly a vocation needed in the Church today: "…people today, I don’t know what they expect of intellectuals. If I’m honest, [...]

I was hoping to continue the 21st Century Missions series earlier this week but I have had no time to get the responses together. Thanks to everyone who has responded so far though, there are some great thoughts and it will be well worth the wait. Theologian Douglas Knight shares some interesting [...]

21st Century Missions: Explosion of Joy
June 19th, 2008 · No Comments
I read this quote today and thought it would be a good preface to our discussion on mission.

As I mentioned the other day, I have started to use Windows Live Writer and can tentatively say that I am a convert. After spending my hard earned on a blog editor for mac some while back after hearing many endorsements for ecto you’d think Id be set up on that side of things too.
